The air is forced across a heating element in the equipment. The temperature indicator displays the variation in air temperature. The orifice metre calculates the airflow. Voltmeter and ammeter are used to measure the heater's input. Thus, it is possible to determine the air's specific heat.

Experimental Objectives

• The main aim behind conducting this experiment is to estimate ?, the ratio of the specific heats of air and to get familiarized with adiabatic expansion and isothermal expansion process.
• To estimate ?, the ratio of the specific heats of air and to get familiarized with adiabatic expansion and isothermal expansion process.
