This experiment measures the temperature. Comparison between these instruments is studied. |

Thermocouple |
1 |
To measure the temperature using a thermocouple, you cannot simply connect the thermocouple to a voltmeter or other measurement system, because the voltage measured is proportional to the temperature difference between the primary junction and the junction where the voltage is being measured. |

Heat pump system |
1 |
Determination of the heat pump coefficient of performance. The basis for the operation of a heat pump is a cyclic thermodynamic process. In a cyclic thermodynamic process, a working medium flows through a set sequence of changes of state. The changes of state are repeated cyclically; the working medium thus repeatedly returns to its initial state. It is for this reason that the term cyclic process is used. |

Refrigerator |
1 |
The performance of refrigerators and heat pumps is expressed in terms of the coefficient of performance, so a basic cooling training set is used to calculate this coefficient. To observe and understand the principle operation of an ideal refrigeration cycle and calculation of the coefficient of performance experimentally. |

Two shaft gas turbine |
1 |
Cussons P9005 two-shaft gas turbine unit is self-contained equipment with the gas generator, power turbine, loading unit, instrumentation, and controls all housed on a castor mounted framework, giving a degree of mobility. Thus the unit can be tidily stored when not in use and then readily positioned near the required services when it is required to be run. |

Determination of the critical point for the gas as well as the recording of isotherms for an adiabatic p-v diagram. |
1 |
The critical point apparatus allows us to investigate the compressibility and liquefaction of a gas. Measurements allow the determination of the critical point for the gas as well as the recording of isotherms for an adiabatic p-V diagram. The gas used for testing is Sulphur hexafluoride (SF6). SF6 has a critical temperature of 318.6°K (45.5°C) and critical pressure of 3.76 MPa (37.6 bar) which makes for a simple experiment set-up.

Dial thermometer |
1 |
Dial thermometers use a metal pointer on a circular scale to indicate temperature measurements. They have two main components: the needle and a temperature sensor.

Digital thermometer |
1 |
Digital thermometers are the most commonly used temperature measuring instruments in the food industry. They are easier to read than lass thermometers generally more accurate than the older dial-type thermometers based on bimetal
