(C)Properties of Heat and Matter - C+45: Heat of Fusion

Computer demo: Heat of fusion of tin. A thermocouple sensor is imbedded in a crucible of solid tin. A bunsen burner melts the tin (melting point: 231.93deg C) and heats it to 350 deg C. Then the tin is allowed to cool. The computer plots the curve of temperature versus time. (Note the cooling plateau at 220degC.) The plot takes 10 minutes.
