An Automated Gasometer for the Teaching Laboratory
Thompson, Frank; Elamari, Matouk
Physics Education, v43 n6 p588-592 Nov 2008
Measurement of the level of a liquid is needed in many hydrodynamic situations. In the present article, this has been achieved with a conductivity sensor for the specific case of water levels. The use of this system is illustrated by the automation of a gasometer in which the gas is collected in an inverted measuring cylinder resting in a water bath. (Contains 7 figures.)
