 Day 4
Isothermal Experiment.

In this Laboratory experiment we intended to find the energy inside and adiabatic compression.  Since this is an isothermal experiment we expected that the change in internal energy and change in temperature would equal zero. We will relate that [(T^3/2)*V] final = [(T^3/2)*V] initial.

The picture above shows our measurements and calculation for the final temperature in kelvin, 1641.44 K, and in Fahrenheit, 2494.2 °F.
 
The above video is displays a rise in temperature inside the tube in which the cotton ignites in flame.

 
The following picture shows how pressure and volume are inversely proportional to one another.  It also displays how the  change in heat and work done on an object are equal in signs.  Because temperature is constant then the work done will equal the heat leaving the system in order to keep it at a constant temperature.




  The Picture above shows a proportional relationship between pressure and temperature. Moreover, it displays that the internal energy is equal to Heat because there is no change in energy. Because there is no change in volume, we may state that there is no work being done on the system.

We are missing a third graph, the graph missing is the Isobaric system in which pressure is constant. Because pressure is constant we can stat that the relationship between volume and temperature is that they are proportional to one another.  Therefore, the change in work done to a system is equal to heat.  

The following picture shows our calculations for the Active Physics assignment on thermodynamics.
