4B Heat and the First Law

4B10. Heat Capacity and Specific Heat
- 4B10.70 Ruchardt’s Tube A container of gas has a long glass tube emerging from the top. A ball dropped into the tube oscillates.
4B15. Ratio of Specific Heats
4B20. Convection
- 4B20.10 Convection of Fluids Heat square loop to show movement of water.
4B30. Conduction
- 4B30.40 Thermoconductivity of Wood and Metal Cylinders Heat paper wrapped around aluminum and wood core with a torch.
4B40. Radiation
- 4B40.10 Light the Match Use the focal point of two mirrors to light a match using radiation.
- 4B40.10 Focusing IR Radiation Variation of “Light the Match” except that there is but one lens/mirror and the light is at one focal point and the paper is held at the other focal point.
- 4B40.40 Three Can Radiation Using an IR thermometer, measure a shiny, white, and black can filled with boiling water in order to show the differences in temperature.
4B50. Heat Transfer Applications
4B60. Mechanical Equivalent of Heat
4B70. Adiabatic Processes
- 4B70.10 Fire Syringe Quickly compress a glass syringe to combust a piece of cotton.
