THERMODYNAMIQUE:

DILATATION THERMIQUE (Thermal Expansion).














Method:
Steam is passed through a hollow, metal tube to increase the temperature of the tube. The side of the tube
is pressed against a special adapter pin on the Rotary Motion Sensor. As the metal tube expands, the pin
rotates the sensor and the change in length is accurately measured. In addition, the temperature of the tube
is measured real-time using a 10 K thermistor directly connected to the tube. DataStudio is used to create
graphs of temperature vs. time and change in length vs. time. A graph of change in length vs. change in
temperature can also be created, the slope of which equals L.

Advantage
By using probeware to take measurements for the thermal expansion of a solid, students more clearly
understand the relationship
between change in temperature and change in length. The traditional method can lead to confusion, since
students often use a multimeter to measure the resistance of a thermistor for their calculation of
temperature change. The resistance of the thermistor actually decreases as its temperature increases,
therefore students could mistakenly believe that change in length and change in
temperature are inversely related.

APPAREIL DE DILATATION THERMIQUE
(THERMAL EXPANSION APPARATUS)
























With PASCOs Thermal Expansion Apparatus, students can accurately and easily investigate the expansion
of metals with increasing temperature.
How It Works
Measure the length of a metal tube at room temperature. Then vary the temperature of the tube and
remeasure its length to determine the coefficient of linear expansion. The concept is simple (L = LT).
Features
Built-in Dial Gauge: While some thermal expansion units only give single point readings of expansion,
the PASCO dial gauge measures continuously as the rod expands and gives an accurate measure of the
rod expansion (0.01 mm resolution).
Built-in Thermistor: Temperature measurement is simple and accurate. Rather than measuring the
temperature of the steam or water moving through the tubes, a 100 K thermistor is placed in direct
contact with each tube.
Equilibrium is quickly reached, and the temperature can be determined using a digital ohmmeter.
(Resistance-to-temperature conversion table is permanently affixed to the base.)
Heat with Steam or Water: Since the fluid moves through the tube, there is no troublesome water jacket.
The fluid used may be steam or water at any temperature. Students dont need to know the temperature
because the thermistor measures the tube temperature directly. This feature allows not only the
calculation of the coefficient of linear expansion, but also the determination of the linearity of the
relationship between L and T
3 Drop-in Metal Tubes: Each tube snaps neatly onto the rigid base. The other two can be simultaneously
mounted on the base for convenient storage.

APPAREIL DE LA CONDUCTIVITE THERMIQUE
(THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY APPARATUS)























One of the most important considerations for buildings in the modern world is their ability to provide good
thermal insulation. This apparatus provides students a means of observing and quantifying heat flow across
a constant temperature differential. Students use 5 common materials as test samples glass, wood,
polycarbonate, Masonite and Sheetrock.
How It Works
A block of ice is placed against one side of the test material. The other side is clamped against a steam
chamber, establishing a constant 100C temperature differential. The rate at which the ice is converted to
water is a measure of the rate at which heat passes from the steam, through the test material and into the
ice.
Features
No Mess: the water from the melting ice runs off into the measuring cup not on the lab table.
Durable Test Materials: the wood, Masonite and Sheetrock are covered with a thin aluminum sheet for
waterproofing and to ensure good thermal contact.
Elevated Steam Reservoir: the hot reservoir is well above thelab table to eliminate heat damage.

APPAREIL DE LEFFECACITE THERMIQUE
(THERMAL EFFICIENCY APPARATUS)























The Thermal Efficiency Apparatus is a real heat engine that can be used to investigate and clarify the
principles at work in Carnots ideal heat engine. Like Carnots model, it can be operated as a heat engine,
converting heat into work, or operated in reverse as a heat pump, transferring heat from a cold source to a
hot source. Results are typically accurate to better than 5%.

How it Works
The key element is a Peltier device, a semiconductor that turns thermal energy into electrical energy. The
device is sandwiched between 2 blocks of aluminum which act as the hot and cold reservoirs (see the
diagram). One block is water-cooled using the built-in pump. The other is electrically heated. A 100
k thermistor is implanted in each block so temperatures can be measured with a digital ohmmeter. The
energy supplied to this heat engine is the electrical energy used to heat the aluminum block. The heat
engine does work by running a current through the load resistor. Both the energy in and the work out are
easily determined by measuring currents and voltages.
Then its simple to calculate the real efficiency of the engine (power out/power in) as a function of the
operating temperatures. By investigating other modes of operation, energy losses can be measured.
Students can use these results to determine the Carnot efficiency and to compare it with the theoretical
value for each set of operating temperatures.

As a Heat Engine . . .

A heat engine converts thermal energy into work.
First, heat is extracted from a hot reservoir. Part of
that heat is used to perform work, and the rest is
exhausted into a cold reservoir.

both real and Carnot efficiency can be
determined for each set of operating
temperatures

As a Heat Pump . . .
A heat pump is just a heat engine run in reverse.
Normally, heat flows from hot to cold. But a heat
pump uses work to pump heat from a cold
reservoir into a hot reservoir.

RAPPORT SPECIFIQUE DES TEMPERATURE
(Ratio of specific Heats)



















In this experiment, the ratio of specific heat capacities for air is determined using Ruchhardt's Method of
measuring the period of oscillation of the piston in a cylinder filled with air.
A cylinder is filled with air and a Pressure Sensor is attached. The piston is plucked by hand and allowed to
oscillate. The oscillating pressure is recorded as a function of time and the period is determined. The ratio of
specific heat capacities is calculated using the period of oscillation, according to Ruchhardts method.
Advantage
Since the oscillations are plotted, it is easy to accurately measure the period of oscillation.

CYCLE THERMIQUE (Heat Engine Cycle)












A P-V diagram is generated as a heat engine is taken through a cycle. From this diagram, the heat
added to the gas and the work done by the engine is measured to determine the efficiency of the engine.
This actual efficiency is compared to the theoretical maximum efficiency.
This heat engine consists of air inside a cylinder which expands when the attached can is immersed in hot
water. The expanding air pushes on a piston and does work by lifting a weight. The heat engine cycle is
completed by immersing the can in cold water, which returns the air pressure and volume to the starting
values.
The cycle is performed as follows:
1. With the can in the cold bath, the 200 g mass is placed on the platform.
2. The can is moved from the cold bath to the hot bath.
3. The 200 g mass is removed from the platform.
4. The can is moved from the hot bath to the cold bath.
The change in pressure is measured with a Low Pressure Sensor. The change in piston height is measured
by the attached string over the Rotary Motion Sensor pulley. The change in volume is calculated by
multiplying the change in piston height by the piston cross-sectional area.

Transducer Features
Volume Transducer: A linear potential divider is mounted on the side of the piston. A 5-Volt source from
the computer is applied across the potentiometer element. The voltage from the commutator brush on the
cylinder is used to indicate the position of the piston and the volume of the confined gas
. Pressure Sensor: A solid-state, piezoresistive device that forms part of a bridge circuit is mounted at
the base of the cylinder.
Temperature Sensor: Mounted in the cylinder on the top of the base. The active element is fine nickel
wire with a high surface-to-mass ratio. The wires temperature changes rapidly as the gas compresses or
expands

CAVITY RADIATION


















The amounts of thermal radiation from different colored
Surfaces and a cavity, all at the same temperature, are
Compared.
An aluminum cube has sides that are black, white, polished aluminum and matte aluminum with a
hole. The cube is heated to approximately 90C and an Infrared Light Sensor is moved across the
face with the hole in it to show that the hole emits more infrared radiation than the surrounding
surface. A Rotary Motion Sensor on a Linear Translator keeps track of the light sensors position
and the light intensity versus position is plotted. The scan in the visible spectrum is made with a
Light Sensor to confirm that the hole is darker than the surrounding surface.
Also, the intensity of radiation from the different colored surfaces is compared.
Advantage
The temperature of the cavity is controlled by the 750 Interface and measured using a Thermister
Temperature Sensor, which reads in degrees rather than resistance, eliminating confusion about the
resistance decreasing as the temperature increases. The temperature is used to calculate the theoretical
wavelength of maximum intensity emitted by the cavity.

RADIATION DU CORPS NOIR (Blackbody Radiation).


























The wavelengths corresponding to the angles are calculated using the equations for a prism
spectrophotometer. The relative light intensity can then be plotted as a function of wavelength as
the spectrum is scanned, resulting in the characteristic
Blackbody curve. The intensity of the light bulb is reduced, reducing the temperature, and the scan
is repeated to show how the curves nest with a shift in the peak wavelength.
The temperature of the bulbs filament can then be measured indirectly by determining the
resistance of the bulb from the measured voltage and current. From the temperature, the
theoretical peak wavelength can be calculated and compared to the measured peak wavelength.
