A novel demonstration device for
realizing the intuitive visual
observation of the system’s internal energy change is proposed.
The device is safe, simple, and efficient, combining an infrared camera
with a water bottle sprayer. With this setup, the changes of thermal
images for air and helium during the compression and expansion processes
were studied, respectively, and the temperature-dependent behavior
of gas density was revealed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
