Accurate, Affordable Digital Thermometer?

AI Thread Summary
An accurate and reasonably priced digital thermometer is needed for lab use, with a desired temperature range slightly below 0 C to above 100 C and an accuracy better than +/- 1 C. Many inexpensive models provide precision but lack sufficient accuracy, often only achieving +/- 1 C. Some sellers fail to disclose accuracy information, complicating the selection process. The ADT7310 and ADT7410 from Analog Devices are highlighted as potential options. Finding a thermometer that meets these specifications is essential for reliable temperature measurement in the lab.

I'm looking for an accurate and reasonably priced digital thermometer. Our lab has lots of cheap models that provide precision of 0.1 C but are only accurate to +/- 1 C. I can lump them together in a room and get a range of about 3 C. Some sellers don't even provide the accuracy information on their web sites. For my preferred thermometer, the temperature range should be a bit below 0 C up to a bit above 100 C with an accuracy of better than +/-1 for a reasonable price.

Thread 'Entropy and configurations of microstates'

I was watching a Khan Academy video on entropy called: Reconciling thermodynamic and state definitions of entropy. So in the video it says: Let's say I have a container. And in that container, I have gas particles and they're bouncing around like gas particles tend to do, creating some pressure on the container of a certain volume. And let's say I have n particles. Now, each of these particles could be in x different states. Now, if each of them can be in x different states, how many total...

Thread 'Why work is PdV and not (P+dP)dV in an isothermal process?'

Let's say we have a cylinder of volume V1 with a frictionless movable piston and some gas trapped inside with pressure P1 and temperature T1. On top of the piston lay some small pebbles that add weight and essentially create the pressure P1. Also the system is inside a reservoir of water that keeps its temperature constant at T1. The system is in equilibrium at V1, P1, T1. Now let's say i put another very small pebble on top of the piston (0,00001kg) and after some seconds the system...

Thread 'Condensate rate of water for an air conditioning cooling coil'

I need to calculate the amount of water condensed from a DX cooling coil per hour given the size of the expansion coil (the total condensing surface area), the incoming air temperature, the amount of air flow from the fan, the BTU capacity of the compressor and the incoming air humidity. There are lots of condenser calculators around but they all need the air flow and incoming and outgoing humidity and then give a total volume of condensed water but I need more than that. The size of the...
