Kit to study processes to achieve thermal equilibrium
Product Code : SCL-MH-12802
Quick Answer: The Kit to Study Processes to Achieve Thermal Equilibrium shows how heat flows from a hot body to a cold one until both reach the same temperature. Students record temperatures over time until the readings become constant.

About This Product
Thermal equilibrium underpins calorimetry and much of thermodynamics, yet it is easier to state than to picture. By tracking the temperatures of a hot and a cold sample as they exchange heat, students see the gap close and level off, and can discuss why the temperature stabilises once heat stops flowing.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is thermal equilibrium reached in this experiment?
When the temperature readings of the hot and cold bodies stop changing and become equal or nearly equal; heat then no longer flows between them.
