Thermodynamic cycles and energy conversion are clearly explained with a
simple stirling engine. 3B Scientific offers
solar stirling engines,
transparent stirling engines and
stirling engine kits for many experiments on the pV cycle. Thermodynamic cycles require a working knowledge of gas laws including
Boyle’s law,
critical points and the ideal gas law.
Study
thermal expansion,
heat conduction and
heat flow utilizing hands-on experiments. Use a
calorimeter to measure the specific heat capacity and enthalpy change of different materials. Observe the heat radiation of different materials with
Leslie’s Cube.
