Steam Heater to Heat Lead Shots
Product Code : SCL-PLE-11688
The JLab India Steam Heater for Lead Shots (also known as a Regnault’s Hypsometer or Steam Chamber) is a specialized thermal physics apparatus engineered for the empirical study of specific heat capacity. Optimized for Secondary and University-level thermodynamics, this unit facilitates the uniform heating of solid samples (typically lead shots) to a precise 100?C using dry steam. It provides a controlled environment for verifying the Law of Mixtures and heat exchange principles within institutional laboratories.

Key Pedagogical Outcomes (Bloom’s Taxonomy Alignment)
- Double-Walled Steam Jacket: Facilitates student visualization of how steam provides a constant-temperature environment (100?C) to the internal sample, supporting Thermodynamics Module 201.
- Uniform Sample Heating: Enables the physical study of thermal equilibrium, allowing learners to apply the concept of heating lead shots to a known initial temperature without moisture contact.
- Specific Heat Quantification: Supports the analysis of heat transfer when the heated lead shots are released into a calorimeter, allowing for the calculation of specific heat capacity (c).
- Systemic Error Evaluation: Allows students to evaluate the impact of heat loss during the transfer of shots from the heater to the calorimeter.
