- 2. DATA LOGGING ON COMBUSTION EXPERIMENT
- 3. INTRODUCTION • Data logging is a process that used computer to collect data through sensors, analyze and save the data finally output the results of the collection and analysis. • Data logger is an electronic instrument that records measurement at set intervals over a period of time. • Sensors play a vital role in the data logging process. All physical properties can be measured with sensors. • By using data logger, the process to collect and analyze information become more accurate and faster than manual.
- 4. ENGAGE What is this? What process produces this? What is combustion? How combustion occurs? Where does combustion occurs? What is the effect of combustion? This is fire. Combustion produces fire.
- 5. ENHANCE PLANNING OF EXPERIMENT Apparatus & Materials : Candle, bell jar, matches, interface, computer, temperature, oxygen and humidity sensors. Procedure: 1. The candle and sensors inside the bell jar were set up and arranged as the diagram above so that the probes will be well away from the candle flame. 2. The sensors was connected to the interface. 3. The result was recorded for 3 minutes. 4. Then, the candle was lighted up and covered with bell jar. 5. When the reading start to level out and the candle has extinguished, air was readmit into the bell jar.
- 6. RESULTS & DISCUSSION 1. The oxygen sensor used to monitor the oxygen level. the line graph shows the candle extinguished at 1.60 minutes with 16% of oxygen from outside getting inside the bell jar. The candle still light up when 20 % of oxygen is supplied into the bell jar which is enough for combustion. It shows us that sufficient amount of oxygen is very important in combustion reaction. 2. The temperature sensor is used to measure the temperature inside the bell jar. During combustion reaction, a lot of heat produced to the top of the bell jar and make an increase in temperature. The line graph shows us, when 7% of oxygen from outside getting in, the temperature at the top is higher than the temperature at the bottom. 3. Humidity sensor will measure the water vapour produced. With 13% of oxygen getting in, it shows that the water vapour increase from 50% to 90% inside the bell jar. The capacity of a space to hold water vapour depends on its temperature. The higher the temperature, the more water vapour it can contain.
- 7. EMPOWER IMPORTANCE OF COMBUSTION Combustion reactions are an extremely important class of chemical reactions. These reactions are vital to our everyday lives. Do you drive around in a gas-fueled car? Or cook dinner on a gas stove? How do you keep yourself warm in the winter? The list of combustion reactions critical to everyday life goes on. The combustion of fuels (wood, fossil fuels, peat) have heated and lit our homes and cooked our food for thousands of years. Our lives would be completely different if combustion reactions didn't exist.
- 8. APPLICATION OF COMBUSTION INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES The internal combustion engine is an engine in which the burning of a fuel occurs in a confined space called a combustion chamber. The defining feature of an internal combustion engine is that useful work is performed by the expanding hot gases acting directly to cause movement. EXTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES External combustion engine uses a working fluid, either a liquid or a gas or both, that is heated by a fuel burned outside the engine. The fluid expands when heated, acting on the mechanism of the engine, thus producing motion and usable work.
- 9. CONCLUSION • In brief, we have conducted an experiment on combustion using data logging method. Data logging made the experiment to be in a very smooth manner where we could organize our results well because the usage of ICT helped us a lot and we support using data logging for any kind of sensor-based experiments as such of this. • Moreover, combustion is a reaction. Therefore, it too has its own importance. So, never just look at the negative side of combustion where it has lots of its own benefits. Its benefits are listed even from a small simple household to a big-time operating industry.
