Thermostat for Lower Temperatures

Details are given concerning the construction and operation of relatively simple thermostats which permit maintaining precise temperatures down to 0 degrees C. (with water), or temperatures above that of the ordinary room, and in which the temperature may be quickly altered at short intervals to new levels.

15Geoengineering’s Thermostat Dilemma

Geoengineering is gaining attention as a possible tool for ameliorating climate change. These largely untested techniques are sometimes analogised to a thermostat that will enable humans to finetune the Earth’s climate. Although overly simplistic, this metaphor highlights a fundamental dilemma that the capacity to geoengineer would raise: whose hand should control the thermostat? Unpacking this...

A microcomputer- controlled thermostat

Introduction Careful temperature control is essential for a wide variety of chemical measurements. High-precision potentiometry, for instance, requires thermostatting, since the slope of the straight line E vs log a is highly temperature dependent (E is the measured emf, log a is the logarithm of the activity of species i). The equation describing the relationship between the measured quantity ...

Notes on configurational thermostat schemes.

The simulation of rheological properties of molecular fluids requires realistic temperature control correctly taking into account the streaming velocity of the fluid. This has become feasible following the introduction of thermostatting techniques defining temperature using only configurational variables. Configurational approaches are also important in many other contexts, for example, in syst...
