Designing A Thermodynamics Experiment

A detailed Summary of Designing A Thermodynamics Experiment


The final design was very simple. It consisted of a stainless steel tank and a tank cover that we made out of a piece of carton. All of the equipments that were used (thermometer, pump, heater, inlet and outlet pipes) had it place on the cover

The equipments we used had the following restrictions on its usage:

1. The maximum pressure for the pump is 40psi and the normal operation pressure is 18psi.

2. The pump provides a steady flow rate that ranges between .4 to 987 ml/min depending of the tubing that is being used.

3. The maximum section left that the pump provides with water is 29ft (8.8m).

4. The electric current needed to operate the pump is 2 amps.

5. The angular velocity of the pump is 58rpm.

1. This heater can only be used for heating water; it cannot be used to heat other liquids.

2. The round base should be always covered with water.

3. The heater should not be operated with out water; it will disconnect with in 2-3 minutes if that was done.

4. Allow 10 minutes per gallon of water to heat.

5. The electric current needed to operate the heater is 10amps.

6. If the water is heated to the desired temperature disconnect the heater.


20. After finishing the experiments make sure that all the equipment are dry and properly stored in their boxes.

7. Cut an additional circle of any desired diameter to use it in observing the instruments positions inside the tank.

And now since f´H= ìfnCp (T) dT =ì 75.4 dT for a temperature range between Ti=28Co

f´H=Q (assuming that we have an open system)
