Marcet Boiler

Location            - ME Building Mechanical Workshop 1

Opening Hours - 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM

Instructors       -Asst. Prof. Dr. Natthawut Ruangtrakoon

Brief Explanation

       The Marcet Boiler serves as an educational tool for verifying theoretical principles of thermodynamics, making it essential in the study of heat and steam properties. The boiler is a device used to demonstrate the relationship between the pressure and temperature of saturated steam in a closed system. It is a widely used apparatus in thermodynamics studies to verify the theoretical behavior of water during phase change, as described by the saturation curve of steam.

Applications

• Studying phase transitions of water.

• Understanding steam properties and thermodynamic laws.

• Training students in the practical aspects of boiler operations and measurements.

Key Components

• Pressure Gauge: Measures the pressure inside the boiler.

• Temperature Sensor: Monitors the water temperature during the heating process.

• Safety Valve: Prevents excessive pressure buildup.

• Heater: Provides the heat required to raise the temperature of the water.
