General Science / Temperature Equilibrium of soil versu water
« on: 04/07/2009 16:37:50 »
Wanted to get some info, but I'm up in some remote area and can't get supplies. I was going to show my grandson an experiment I remembered doing in high school. We took soil and water and first refrigerator for so many minutes and then did the same with wafer. Repeated the experiment with water. Obviously the water would take to reach equilibrium would be different than soil, due to the fact that each have different densities. Any one have any info as to how much the temperature difference would be versus time for each of the two materials? Again, if I had access to a few thermometers I could do this, but I'm so remote I can't locate a couple of thermometers.
One part of the experiment involved heating both samples with a light bulb and the other was putting it in a fridge and cooling it for a bit.
Thanks
Dave
