Saunders, G. Thomas – Journal of Chemical Education, 1987
Suggestions for the design, installation, and operation of laboratory fume hoods are listed. (RH)
Descriptors: Chemistry, Equipment Evaluation, Laboratory Equipment, Safety
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bruno, Thomas J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1987
Discussed are a brief explanation of the function of the vortex tube and some applications for the chemistry laboratory. It is a useful and inexpensive solution to many small-scale laboratory heating and cooling applications. (RH)
Descriptors: Chemistry, Chromatography, College Science, Laboratory Equipment
Barrowman, Thomas – TIES Magazine, 1991
Five technology teachers describe how they would design the technology laboratory for the future. What it would look like, who would use it, what kind of activities would be done in it, the required equipment and supplies, and the expense of the lab are discussed. (KR)
Descriptors: Classroom Design, Laboratories, Laboratory Equipment, Middle Schools

Foord, A.; Mason, G. – Chemical Engineering Education, 1985
Describes an apparatus (built from domestic plumbing pipes and fittings) that uses only water and electricity (as consumables) to investigate basic mass and heat balances in a system with recycle. Also describes experiments using the apparatus. (JN)
Descriptors: Chemical Engineering, Engineering Education, Heat, Higher Education
Desrochers, A.; DeRusso, P. M. – Engineering Education, 1984
An Advanced Manufacturing Laboratory (AML) has been established at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI). AML courses, course objectives, instructional strategies, student experiences in design and manufacturing, and AML equipment are discussed. Overall recommendations based on student and instructor experiences are also presented. (JN)

Dew, Vinita C. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1987
Described are infrared windows made from Tupperware and polyethylene coffee can lids that provide acceptable spectra for low-frequency infrared. (RH)
Descriptors: Chemical Analysis, Chemistry, College Science, Laboratory Equipment
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Owen, Noel L.; Wood, Steven G. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1987
Described is a quick, easy, and cheap, but effective method of obtaining infrared spectra of solids and nonvolatile liquids by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The technique uses tissue paper as a support matrix. (RH)
Descriptors: Chemical Analysis, Chemistry, College Science, Laboratory Equipment
