    The document describes a characteristic study of a Marcet boiler. The Marcet boiler is used to demonstrate the relationship between the temperature and pressure of saturated steam in equilibrium. It has a boiler, pressure gauge, thermometer, and other components. Experiments are conducted by heating the boiler to increase the pressure and recording the corresponding temperature readings. The results can be used to study thermodynamic properties and verify steam table data.

    ABSTRACT

     The marcet boiler is used to determine the relationship


    between temperature and pressure of saturated steam at
    equilibrium.
     It is also used to demonstrate the vapour pressure curve.
     The relationship between pressure and temperature is
    directly proportional.
     The value (dT/dP) measured from a marcet boiler’s
    operation is compared with data in the steam table.
    INTRODUCTION
     Thermodynamics deals with the interchange of energy such
    as heat and work between system and the surroundings
     The loss or gain of energy in a system has direct impact on its
    thermodynamic properties(temperature and pressure).
     Marcet Boiler is used to heat the fluid and measure the
    temperature and pressure of water vapor inside its vessel.
     Deductions about the change in thermodynamic properties of
    the fluid undergoing different processes can be drawn.
    BRIEF HISTORY

     Marcet built this device around 1826.


     Francois Arago had done the same
    experiment previously.
     Marcet boiler was also made by Nathan
    Chamberlain, Boston, USA, in the year1850.
     He made this boiler for measuring the vapor
    pressure of saturated liquid.
    BACKGROUND THEORY
    When energy increases within the fluid(water), there
    is an increase in the number of molecule escape from
    the surface until an equilibrium state is reached.
    The state of equilibrium depends on the pressure
    between the water surface and steam.
    The temperature where equilibrium occurs at a given
    pressure level is called saturated temperature.
    The Marcet Boiler is used to investigate the
    relationship between the pressure and temperature of
    saturated steam in equilibrium with the fluid(water).
    EQUIPMENT AND COMPONENTS

     Safety valve.
     Boiler with insulating jacket
     Bourdon tube pressure gauge
     Drain valve
     Heater
     Overflow
     Thermometer
    The Pressure Gauge
    OPERATION OF MARCET BOILER

     The marcet boiler is supplied heat.


     The valve of the marcet boiler is opened.
     Air inside the market boiler is allowed to escape
    through the valve.
     The valve is closed and heating continues until a
    particular pressure.
     Temperature readings at different pressure readings
    are then recorded when heated and cooled.
    APPLICATIONS OF MARCET BOILER

     Water boiler.

     Generate steam for process application.

     Cooking utilities/Food steamer.

     In academia( Laboratory work).


    DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION

     It is necessary to remove air from the boiler as this could


    affect the accuracy of results.
     Sources of errors are measurements, room temperature
    and pressure, the stability of materials and calculations.
     As the steam is not allowed to exit, it will cause an
    increase in pressure and thus causing the temperature to
    increase.
