Al-Soufi, Wajih; Carrazana-Garcia, Jorge; Novo, Mercedes – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
We present our experience with transferring a four-day photometry and dye-adsorption laboratory experiment to the kitchens of students of Applied Thermodynamics from our degree in "Industrial Chemical Process Engineering". The students designed and built a double-beam photometer using their smartphones and household materials, then…

Puantha, Rattanaporn; Khammarew, Wilaiwan; Tong-on, Anusorn; Saphet, Parinya – Physics Education, 2019
The purpose of this study was to develop a modern experimental apparatus using an Arduino with LabVIEW instead of the classical experiment. The wavelength of the sound was determined using the resonance of an air column. The smartphone app was used to generate the desired frequencies. A sound intensity and ultrasonic sensor was used to read the…
