Thermodynamics Adiabatic Gas Law Apparatus TD-8565 Pasco ScientificOverviewAdiabatic and isothermal processes are difficult for beginning physics students to understand. PASCO's Adiabatic Gas Law apparatus provides the ideal dem­on­stra­tion.A Versatile Lab ToolCompare the final pressure and temperature: values predicted by the Adiabatic Gas Law.Measure the work done on the gas: compare it to the change in internal energy and the theoretical work performed.Determine gamma: the ratio of specific heats for the gas ( Cp/Cv ).Use monatomic, diatomic and polyatomic gases: determine the effects of molecular structure on gamma.Investigate isothermal com­pres­sion and expansionSpecial FeaturesVolume Transducer: A linear po­ten­tial divider is mounted on the side of the piston. A 5-Volt source from the comput­er is applied across the potentiometer element. The voltage from the com­mu­ta­tor brush on the cylinder is used to indicate the position of the piston and the volume of the confined gas.Pressure Sensor: A solid-state, piezoresistive device that forms part of a bridge circuit is mounted at the base of the cylinder.Temperature Sensor: Mounted in the cylinder on the top of the base. The active element is fine nickel wire with a high surface-to-mass ratio. The wire's temperature changes rapidly as the gas compresses or expands.ExperimentsPASCO's Adiabatic Gas Law can be used with the ScienceWorkshop Interface. The computer functions as a 3-channel storage os­cil­lo­scope, plotting graphs of pressure, temper­a­ture and volume as well as integrating the area under a pressure versus volume curve to determine the work done on the gas.IncludesAdiabatic Gas Law ApparatusInstruction manual, experiment guide and the fully documented experiment, "Measurement of Work to Compress Gases Adiabatically" ( sample data included )Signal Cables 3.5 mm plug to 5-pin DINPower Adapter 9V DC @ 1ARecommendedGases: argon ( monoatomic ), air or nitrogen ( diatomic ), carbon dioxide ( triatomic ).Required - One of the followingOf current PASCO interfaces only the 850 Universal Interface has the 3 required analog ports.However, a 550 Universal Interface could be used plugging into the two analog ports with an analog adapter ( PS-2158 ) in one of the PASPORT ports to give three analog ports.The discontinued ScienceWorkshop 500 and 750 interfaces can also be used.Optical Apparatus

Mechanical Waves Experiment EX-9952 Pasco ScientificOverviewStanding waves in strings and air columns are studied. Using a sine wave generator to drive a string vibrator, the driving frequency, the length, density, and tension of the string are varied to explore standing waves in strings and to determine the speed of the wave. For the sound waves in the air column, a speaker is used to drive a resonance tube. The driving frequency and the length of the tube are varied for both open and closed tubes. The relationship between resonant frequency modes and tube length is determined for closed versus open tubes.PASCO AdvantageThe frequency of the vibration of the string is not limited to the line frequency so the frequency can be varied, as well as the length and the tension.IncludesString Vibrator ( WA-9857A )Sine Wave Generator ( WA-9867 )Open Speaker ( WA-9900 )Economy Resonance Tube ( WA-9495 )Elastic Wave Cord ( SE-9409 )Braided Physics String ( SE-8050 )Yellow Braided Cord ( 699-067 )Mass and Hanger Set ( ME-8979 )Universal Table Clamp ( ME-9376B ) ( 2 )Adjustable Angle Clamp ( ME-8744 )Super Pulley ( ME-9450A )Pulley Mounting Rod ( SA-9242 )45 cm Stainless Steel Rod ( ME-8736 ) ( 2 )Banana Plug Cord-Red ( 5 Pack ) ( SE-9750 )Waves Experiment ManualUniversal Testing Machine
