Pyrometer is a touch less type temperature measuring device. In other words, pyrometer is a transducer that makes use of the visible or invisible radiation emitted by an object to determine its temperature without any physical contact with it. It is used to measure the surface temperatures of very hot objects like furnaces and distant objects without actually being in contact with it. It intercepts and measures the thermal radiation emitted by the object, a process called pyrometry.The word pyrometer originated from the Greek word for fire, "πυρ" (pyro) and meter meaning to measure. Due to its speed, accuracy, specific advantages and economy, pyrometer is gaining acceptance in new fields.
HISTORY
Originally pyrometry was a strictly visual measuring method. In early times the experienced blacksmiths and steel workers could predict the metal’s

Also it is not useful for obtaining continuous values of temperature at small intervals. It also depends on the skill of the user. ADVANTAGES
Pyrometers are widely used these days due the following advantages:
1) Fast response time-Pyrometers have very short response time. In the case of normal thermometers ,the probe must first reach the same temperature of the object and this takes time due to thermal conduction. But in the case of pyrometers, the radiation is being measured and the temperature is shown.
2) Affect on temperature and material- As an optical pyrometer uses a portion of the energy radiated by the target object, it does not affect the temperature of the target in the act of measuring .Also the life of contact-free measuring devices is more in comparison to the thermo elements as the latter gets damaged due to wear and tear.
3) Measuring moving objects-Due to its short response time, pyrometers can be used to measure the temperature of fast moving

* What is the unit used to measure the amount of cooling needed in summer time? CDD
In order to measure the heats of reactions, add the reactants into the calorimeter and measure the difference between the initial and final temperature. The temperature difference helps us calculate the heat released or absorbed by the reaction. The equation for calorimetry is q=mc(ΔT). ΔT is the temperature change, m is the mass, c is the specific heat capacity of the solution, and q is the heat transfer. Given that the experiment is operated under constant pressure in the lab, the temperature change is due to the enthalpy of the reaction, therefore the heat of the reaction can be calculated.
One possible source of error that can affect the results was that a mercury thermometer was used instead of an electronic one. The use of a mercury
Identify three (3) specific challenges to making direct measurements in the fields of astronomy, chemistry, physics, or earth science. Describe how scientists have utilized indirect forms of measure to overcome these challenges
A scale conversion is calculated and the measurements from each thermometer are examined to see how closely correlated they are. _M___

interrupted and so the number of rotations can be measured. The frequency of rotations depends on the flow of air so a flow signal can be generated.
The tool with the highest degree of certainty was the non-mercury thermometer because it didn't have to be calibrated and there were tick marks to make the measurement more accurate. The tool that had the smallest degree of certainty was the dial 2 thermometer because it very wide. This caused the measurement to be harder to make. In Station 4, a spring scale, an electric balance, an analytic balance, and a one pay balance was used. The most accurate tool was electric balance because no calculations or estimations needed to be made. The least accurate tool was the spring scale because the scale kept moving and block couldn't be measured without a basket carrying it, making the measurement inaccurate. In Station 5, a graduated cylinder, a beaker, and an Erlenmeyer flask was used. The tool that had the highest degree of certainty was the graduated cylinder because there were more ticks. This made the measurement more accurate because the water level was closer to the markings. The least accurate tool was the Erlenmeyer flask because the spaces between the markings were large so the whole number had to be guesstimated. In station 6, #1 was accurate because the X's exactly on the lines. #2 was precise because multiple X's were close to

Finally, using the while loop at the end of the script and read the temperature value for future use. All other implementation and code will be explained later.
It shows temperature as Centigrade or Fahrenheit. Set a target temperature of 32° F (0° C ) to 210°
In 1593, Galileo created a thermometer that relied on the expanding and contracting of air to push water up and down a clear tube. Since hot air takes up a larger volume than cold air, the higher the temperature is, the higher the water level is in the tube. The clear tube can be marked at intervals to show what the temperature is, even though there would be no universal unit to measure heat for another century.
Overall, the experiment succeeded that the metals show the theoretical properties. Differences existed in the mathematical calculation of the actual length. These differences, however, it can be accounted for by experimental error; more over there are uncertainty on purity of the
