Heat capacity of gases with Cobra3

Volume change V as a function of the heat-up time t. U = 4.59 V, I = 0.43 A.

Principle Heat is added to a gas in a glass vessel by an electric heater which is switched on briefly. The temperature increase results in a pressure increase, which is measured with a manometer. Under isobaric conditions a temperature increase results in a volume dilatation, which can be read from a gas syringe. The molar heat capacities CV and Cp are calculated from the pressure or volume change.
