Key Features
- Steam jacket formed by a double-walled cylinder.
- Sample held in a central hollow tube that opens at the bottom.
- Inlet and outlet tubes for a continuous flow of steam.
- Thermometer hole in the lid.
- Built from corrosion-resistant non-ferrous alloy.
Technical Specifications
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Construction | Double-walled cylinder, non-ferrous alloy |
| Sample holder | Central hollow tube, bottom release |
| Steam ports | Inlet tube and outlet tube |
| Thermometer access | Pre-drilled lid |
| Heating temperature | 100 °C (steam) |
How It Is Used
The heater is connected to a steam supply and filled with the solid sample. When the thermometer in the lid shows the sample at 100 °C, the bottom release is opened over a weighed calorimeter. From the masses and temperature changes students calculate specific heat capacity using the law of mixtures.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Steam Heater to Heat Lead Shots used for?
It heats a solid sample, usually lead shots, to 100 °C with steam so its specific heat capacity can be found by the method of mixtures.
