To explore the principles of temperature measurement and calibration using three different heat sources and five different temperature sensors. To demonstrate the thermometric properties of different temperature sensors and the use of fixed points for calibration. Educational software is available Data logging accessory available
To explore the concepts of pressure, calibration, engineering units, errors and linearity using a Bourdon pressure gauge and pressure sensor connected to a simple dead weight pressure calibrator. Educational software is available Data logging accessory available
To investigate the behaviour of a fluid at its boiling point and how the temperature varies with pressure. Saturation curves can be obtained and compared with published steam tables. A throttling calorimeter is provided to determine the condition of the wet steam produced by the apparatus. Educational software is available Data logging accessory available
To demonstrate what recycle is and to allow mass and energy balances to be performed under steady state and unsteady state conditions. Includes use of the steady flow energy equation. Educational software is available Data logging accessory available
To investigate the behaviour of a gas under pressure and vacuum and to determine the ratio of specific heats. Includes concepts such as polytropic processes, constant volume processes and the non-flow and unsteady flow energy equations. Educational software is available Data logging accessory available
