| Exploring a Flame |
Figure 1
Introduction A flame does not have a uniform temperature. Temperature differences within a flame can be mapped with a thermocouple (a highly sensitive, fast responding Temperature sensor ranging from 0°C to 1250°C). In the following experiment, we are going to explore a candle flame in three characteristic areas labeled with 1, 2 and 3 in Figure 1.
Equipment
einstein™Tablet with MiLAB or Android /IOS tablet with MiLAB and einstein™LabMate
Candle
Matches
Thermocouple Type K (0°C to 1250°C)
Equipment Setup Procedure 1.
Launch MiLAB™ (
).
2. 3.
Connect the Thermocouple sensor to one of the ports on the einstein™Tablet or einstein™LabMate. Make sure that only the Thermocouple sensor is selected.
