Principle
A collector test field can be used to investigate the temperature response of four differently designed solar collectors. It also demonstrates the effect of the absorber's colour, of heat insulation and covering of the glass. Measurements are made simultan ...
A 2-V motor can be driven with the help of a solar battery with four cells connected in series. It is particularly impressive if it is not only used to turn a lightweight disc, but to drive a heavy vehicle.
Why do tea or coffee get cold onstanding, but never hot?
Tasks
Watch the water temperatures when a vessel containing cold water is dipped into a hot water bath.
Metal tubes are heated with steam. The linear expansion of three different metals is determined with the aid of a rotating-shaft pointer. From this the metals' coefficient of linear expansion is determined (Supplementary problem). The use of a rolling ...
One end of a U-shaped metal rod is immersed in boiling water and the other in cold water. From the warming of the cold water qualitative and quantitative statements can be made about the influence of the rod's composition, length and diameter on the h ...
A polished and a black beaker are heated by radiation. Instead of solar radiation a bright flame located in front of the two beakers is used. Both beakers are filled with air since the heat capacity of water is very large and it would be too sl ...
A quick loss of heat is sometimes not wanted. What can be done to keep the temperature in a vessel constant?
Measure the cooling of hot water in two different environments:
How depends the time required to heat up water on the amount of water when a defined heating source is available?
Heat up various amounts of water with an electric heating coil and measure the time dependence ...
Do different liquids heat up to the same extent when subject to the same heating?
Heat 100 g and 100 ml of water and of glycerol with an electric heating coil and measure the temperature in dependence o ...
A measured quantity of water is heated with a heating coil. The electrical heat output is determined. From the temperature increase and the heat energy, the specific heat capacity of water is calculated. This calculation is performed under point 6 of ...
In households, a great amount of energy is used to heat up water - for showers, for washing clothes, for cooking. Exactly how much is necessary for each degree that each mililitre of water is warmed up? How are amount of heat, heat capacity and change ...
Quantities of heat distribute themselves so that finally all parts that are in contact with each other have the same temperature. If the heat capacities and the initial temperatures are known, then the final temperature can be predicted. Or, in rever ...
The calorimeter can be used to determinethe heat content of a piece of metal.The heat content can be calculated fromthe mixing temperature that is reachedin the calorimeter.
Heat up metal bodies of the same ma ...
Calorimetry can also be used to determine the temperature of a hot object that is difficult to measured by any other method, e.g. because it is too hot for the thermometers available. The heatcontent of the object can be calculated from the mixture t ...
