TESS - Training and Experiment System
Thermodynamics sets with 34 experiments in physics
Phywe provides the following complementary sets of apparatus for the topic of heat and thermodynamics: TESS Heat WE 1 and TESS Heat WE 2, allowing as many as 34 experiments to be performed. The experiment literature guides students through the experiments themselves in a series of easily understood exercises.
