Abstract

The thermal properties of paraffin, high density polyethylene, zinc nitrate tetrahydrate, ethylene glycol, and brick are determined using the twin bath method. The heat storage capacities of the materials with and without the effect of container are measured. The heating and cooling curve for zinc nitrate tetrahydrate is obtained to detect its supercooling tendency.
