Thermal Physics Experiments for Undergraduate Laboratories

9452604 COTS差示扫描量热仪系统将主要用于大二、大三和大四的本科实验室，以及纽约州立大学宾厄姆顿分校物理系的夏季独立研究项目。该仪器将用于一系列实验室实验，旨在为物理和工程预科专业的热物理学科提供照明。差示扫描量热计将允许在许多不同的水平上引入各种各样的实验。这些实验的范围从那些具有高水平的方向和稳固的既定程序的实验，到那些试图在当前物理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、波长转变和杂质冰点降低)、固体的热容以及固态反应动力学和能量学。其他实验包括在热物理的背景下研究量热计的操作。

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.
