EXPLORATION OF AN OPEN EXPERIMENTAL DEVICE FOR PHASE TRANSITION PROCESS WHICH CAN BE USED IN UNIVERSITY PHYSICS EXPERIMENTS
Phase change materials are widely used in our lives,and it is of great practical sig-nificance to learn and study the thermal properties of phase change.However,at present,most of the calorimetric devices on the market to measure the thermal properties of phase change materials are carried out in the sealed interval,and students cannot observe the com-plete phase change process.At the same time,it is rarely covered in teaching experiments be-cause the instrumentation is too expensive and complex.In this paper,the relationship be-tween the latent heat of phase change and temperature difference curves of phase change mate-rials and the peak area enclosed by the baseline is obtained through theoretical derivation,and a simple open calorimetric device is constructed.The device uses the Peltier plate as the heat source,measures the temperature using the thermoelectric effect of the semiconductor zinc oxide film,and completely records the temperature change of the phase transition process through the data acquisition card and the LABVIEW program.In this paper,gallium metal was used as a sample,and the parameters hT=0.52(J/(K·S))and the latent heat of phase change of 10 groups of gallium metal of different masses between 0.206～0.692g were calibra-ted.The device has simple structure and convenient operation,which can provide technical reference for studying the thermal properties of phase change materials and university physics experiments.
