    BOYLE’S LAW

    INTRODUCTION

    Familiarity with the gas laws is a fundamental requirement of any training course in
    thermodynamics. The unit enables two changes of state to be studied experimentally: Isothemic
    change of state also known as the Boyle-Mariotte Law, and isochoric change of state, which occurs
    at a constant volume. Transparent vessels enable the change of state to be observed. Air is used as
    the test gas. In vessel I, the enclosed air volume is reduced or increased using a compressor and
    hydraulic oil. This results in an isothermic change of state. The compressor can also operate as a
    vacuum pump. If the changes occur the change of state takes place at an almost constant temperature.
    In vessel 2, the temperature of the test gas is increased by a controlled electric heater and the
    resulting pressure rise is measured. The volume of the enclosed gas remains constant. Temperatures.
    Pressures and volumes are measured accordingly.

    GENERAL DESCRIPTION

    Isothermal change at constant temperature and isochoric process at constant volume can be observed
    by the apparatus. This will help students to have a better understanding in developing concepts of
    thermodynamics which is considered to be a very important subject for students who wish to persue
    their career in automobiles and thermo fluids.

    Boyle's Law

    The relation existing between the pressures exerted by it confined gas and its volume is given by
    what is usually known as Boyle's law, namely: The temperature remaining constant, the volume V
    occupied by a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure P to which it is subjected.
    In symbols

    V ∞ 1/P or

    V = k x 1/P

    Hence PV = k

    Where k is (numerically) It constant under given conditions. It is apparent that PV = k is an equation


    of the second degree, since the left side is the product of two variables quantities. When the pressure
    is plotted as a function of the volume an equilateral hyperbola is attained.
    EXPERIMENT

    Verification of Boyle’s Law

    OBJECTIVE

    To study Boyles law at moderate pressure.

    PROCEDURE

    1. Check that the unit and all instruments are in proper condition.
    2. Make sure that the glass vessel is empty (there is no oil in glass chamber)
    3. If there is oil in glass chamber then evacuate by first turning on the pump and
    adjusting the handle on filling valve so that it start evacuating the chamber.
    4. Now turn on the pump speed control knob. Make sure the filling speed should be slow
    5. Fill the glass chamber with oil meanwhile observe the pressure gauge and height of air
    column.
    6. As soon as the pressure increases volume of air will begin to reduce (being compressed by
    the pumped oil) in a hyperbolic manner.
    7. Draw PV diagram of the observed value.

    RESULTS

    Di = 0.120m
    Area = 0.0113m
    Total height of chamber = 0.172m
    Sr. No. Gauge Absolute Length of air column Volume of air (m3)
    Pressure (bar) Pressure (bar) in chamber (m)
