Thermometer

device. In this case the mercury thermometer and digital thermometer will be compared. The thermometer is a very useful tool used to measure temperature. Without the thermometer we wouldn 't know the temperature outside, tell if our food has been cooked properly, determine if our temperature is to high or to low. There are many applications for the thermometer. In this report the analog version of the thermometer will be carefully examined and explained, the digital version of the thermometer will also be closely examined and explained, then the analog and digital thermometer will be compared and contrasted. The first thermometers were called thermoscopes. They had no…

United States and other Caribbean countries. It is the first standardised temperatures scale which was adapted globally in the seventeenth century. This great invention is named after a German science instrument maker, Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686- 1736). His invention has revolutionised the design of thermometer in 1724, when he conducted the thermometer with mercury instead of alcohol. This innovation has made a significant contribution to the medical field and was a step up in the development of…

Weather Instruments are basically tools that measure the state of the atmosphere at a given time. Some of the earliest instruments were made very simply but more scientifically accurate instruments weren’t made until the 1800’s. For example, weather vanes were simply used to sense the direction of the wind. In the 1800’s scientist were more curious about what goes on in the upper earth so they started making detailed instruments. Thermometer A thermometer is an instrument that measures…

relatively mild heat treatment performed to improve the quality of preserved or stored food products. It is used to remove trapped gases from the product, soften the product, fix product color, or inactivate enzymes. It also eliminates or reduces the numbers of relatively heat-sensitive pathogens and spoilage organisms. • Water and steam blanchers: Water and steam blanchers are the most commonly used blanchers in the food processing industry • Time and temperature control: Control of the…

In every experiment there are constraints and requirements. Specifically in our Solar Oven Project we had budget, material, and performance constraints. The inside chamber, where the biscuit is cooked, must have a volume of 1000 cm3. In addition to that, the length of the window and the depth of the inside chamber must be at least 5 cm. The window must also be a square. The inside cooking chamber must be able to easily insert and remove the biscuit and hold the biscuit in place so when the oven…

technology to heat your turkey to golden brown perfection. Since there’s no oil, you don’t have to worry about cheating on your diet when you use this machine. However, that doesn’t mean that you miss out on the taste and texture of a fried bird. Infrared heaters not only cook your meat more efficiently, but they leave a nice, crispy skin, so it’s almost like the real thing. Also, you can use dry rubs and seasonings for your meat, which is impossible with an oil fryer. This unit can hold up…

“Are you alright?” my mother usually asks me that question whenever I get sick. Then she would touch my forehead and neck to check if I’m hot. She’d rush to our medicine cabinet and get the mercury thermometer, shakes it, and puts it in between my armpit. After two to three minutes, she’d get it and read what it says. “You’re sick, 39 degree Celsius” Mom said. Since then, I have asked my mother to teach me how to read the thermometer. Whenever there’s a family member who gets sick, it would be…

Sealant manufacturers state that 70 degrees Fahrenheit is the ideal temperature for sealcoating. They also state that humidity levels should be relatively low and that the fresh sealant should be exposed to several hours of sunshine. Furthermore, there should be no chance of rain for at least the first 24 hours following the application. If you have lived in Central Texas for more than a year, you know that all of these ideal conditions will be not be present on many days. Sealcoating companies…

Thermography is a unique scanning device that measures the body surface temperature through imagery and without the dangers of radiation. The major difference between mammography and Thermography is mammograms use radiation to find masses or lumps in the breast, when thermographs assess the inflammation and vascular changes through the body’s temperature. Thermography has been around for close to 20 years, yet many women are unaware of this option when they are told to schedule for their…
