Description
Heat to Kinetic Energy transfer. Classes Used: PHYS 153
change of energy type, expansion
Updated on: 06/19/13
Purpose
To demonstrate differing expansion of metals as utilized in bi-metal applications. An example of a transfer of heat energy to kinetic energy.
Apparatus
Wire, supports and metal disk, hotplate
Setup
Place bi-metal disk with concave (brass coloured) side down on the support that rests on the hot-plate. Disk will heat up and flip along the wire to the cold support where it cools and flips back again.
