Description

This project has accomplished the following items in the first year of work. (1) Design and construction of a vacuum furnace system which can attain temperatures up to 3000 F in a cylindrical column approximately 4 inches in diameter and six inches high, with ordinary voltages and current flow. (2) Investigation of the usefulness of the furnace system for comparative calorimetry at temperatures up to 1500 F. (3) Analysis of the comparative calorimetry method of measuring specific heat to determine what physical factors are involved. During the second year the project will be specifically directed toward the attainment of specifics … continued below
