Thermal Physics - 2016 Fall

Introduction

In Fall 2016 semester, the Thermal Physic class ran an experiment to measure the performance of a Yeti 20 ounce insulated coffee cup. These Yeti cups had become very popular over the previous year, most people that had one said that it was unbelievable how long they would keep coffee hot, so we wanted to find out just how long that was.

Procedure

Materials used

Vernier's original LabQuest (multimeter), that we ran in the computer with the Logger Pro softrware Logger Pro 3.5.8.1
Insulated cups of the brand YETI
Standard Styrofoam coffee cups
Insulated coozie
