Engines & Heat Physics Labware

Consists of columns surrounded by a glass jacket closed by rubber bungs & fitted with inlet & outlet tubes for steam & cold water respectively.

The lower ends of the tubes are bent & are connected horizontally. The upper open ends of the vertical limbs are bent so as to be placed side by side against a silvered glass scale 0-12 cm figured every 2 cm. The whole apparatus is mounted on a wooden stand by means of spring clips. All the glass parts are easily removable, used in determination of coefficient of absolute expansion of mercury.

It comprises two cast iron uprights vertical pillars height approx 180 mm linked by rods, supporting an expansion bar, length 380 mm, fixed to one upright and resting on a friction pointer at the other with scale, supplied with one each aluminium; iron and brass expansion bars.

To show difference in expansion of various liquids over the same temperature range.
It comprises 5 glass graduated capillary tubes of equal bore and bulbs at the bottom, mounted on a support frame with metal trough for immersion of bulbs in hot water in it.

The section cut model is constructed of light and strong metal showing air intake, axial flow, double stage compressor, fuel supply, combustion chamber, turbine rotar, jet thrust, exhaust etc. Complete on base.

To show that water has a maximum density at 4 degrees Celsius..
Consists of a sheet metal cylinder with two tubes in the upper and lower regions for inserting thermometers through rubber stoppers. Mounted on a base and encircled midway by an outer trough for holding a mixture of ice and salt. Temperature of the water is measured at the top and bottom of the inner cylindrical vessel over a period as the water-cools.
