2022 - Demonstration of First Law of Thermodynamics Using a Household Hairdryer - Poster Presentation
Description
During an introductory course in thermodynamics, undergraduate engineering students are reintroduced to scientific fundamentals that include conservation of energy (also known as the first law of thermodynamics) and conservation of mass. To help support these concepts, a simple lab experiment was created based on work from Robert Edwards (Pennsylvania State University) using a hairdryer along with basic measuring equipment. The amount of energy being drawn to run the hairdryer should equal the amount of heat energy leaving the open system. A variety of data is collected and applied to familiar equations to reduce the amount of error to be within 10%. Alterations to the published experiment were made based on the author’s observations and available equipment.
2022 - Demonstration of Work and Energy Using a Stirling Engine - Poster Presentation
Description
We designed an experiment to demonstrate the concepts of heat and work in a thermodynamic system. Heat is thermal energy in the form of the movement of particles at the molecular and atomic scale. A Stirling engine is a mechanical device that can harness heat energy into the mechanical energy of a spinning flywheel. In this lab experiment, the efficiency of the Stirling engine is determined by calculating how much heat energy in the system is transferred into the actual rotation of the flywheel of the engine. Through doing this, it demonstrates, in a non-abstract way, the concepts of work and energy.
