This software models the heating of liquids in an insulated container over time and is designed to support the teaching of Science and Physics at GCSE and A Level.
The model takes into account the density, boiling point and specific heat capacity of the liquid.
The following parameters can be varied within the model:
- Mass and initial temperature of the liquid;
- Room temperature;
- Resistance and current of the heater;
- Heating time;
- Container diameter and insulation thickness;
- The required sample interval.
As these parameters are varied, the number of samples that will be taken is displayed so that the optimum number for a particular experiment can be selected. The energy used, liquid temperature and the temperature rise are calculated for each sample.
Parameters can be adjusted and the liquids list modified to the user's specification. These new settings can be saved in a file for later use.
The results can be printed and also exported as a CSV file for further analysis or graphing.
The application is supported by a comprehensive help file which includes guidance on how to generate the required number of samples.
