Eduscope India is a leading Calorimeter with Stirrer
Quick Answer:Calorimeter with Stirrer measures specific heat by the method of mixtures, using a copper inner vessel insulated inside a wooden outer vessel.
The copper inner vessel, 75 x 50mm, holds the water and test object; copper is used because it conducts heat efficiently and reaches thermal equilibrium quickly and evenly. It sits on cork supports inside a wooden outer vessel of about 100 x 75mm — cork and wood are both poor conductors, so this arrangement insulates the inner vessel from the bench and surrounding air, keeping heat loss to a minimum during a reading. The lid carries a central tubule that holds a thermometer steady in position, and a slit for a stirrer that keeps the water at a uniform temperature so the thermometer reads the whole body of liquid rather than a warmer patch near the test object — the standard calorimeter lab India setup for determining specific heat from the recorded temperatures.
