Thermal Physics Experiments for Undergraduate Laboratories

小行星9452604 差示扫描量热仪系统将用于本科实验室，主要是在大二，大三和大四的水平，并在夏季独立的研究项目在物理系在纽约州立大学宾厄姆顿。 该仪器将用于一系列实验室实验，旨在阐明物理和工程预科专业的热物理学科。 差示扫描量热仪将允许在许多不同的水平上引入各种各样的实验。这些实验将从那些具有高水平的方向和牢固建立的程序，到那些试图在物理学当前的研究课题中产生原创性贡献的实验。这些实验包括测量材料的相变（包括熔化，λ转变和杂质凝固点降低），固体的热容，固态反应动力学和能量学。在热物理学的背景下，额外的实验涉及对量热计的操作的研究。

9452604 Cotts A differential scanning calorimeter system will be used in undergraduate laboratories primarily at the sophomore, junior and senior level and in summer independent research projects in the Physics Department at SUNY-Binghamton. The instrument will be utilized in a series of laboratory experiments designed to illuminate the subject of Thermal Physics for physics and pre- engineering majors. The differential scanning calorimeter will allow the introduction of a wide variety of experiments, at a number of different levels. The experiments will range from those with a high level of direction and firmly established procedure, to those which attempt to generate original contributions in current research topics in Physics. The experiments include measurements of phase transitions in materials (including melting, lambda transitions, and impurity freezing point depression), the heat capacity of solids, and solid state reaction kinetics and energetics. Additional experiments involve the study, in the context of Thermal Physics, of the operation of the calorimeter.
