Maintaining Component Temperature with Water Bath

AI Thread Summary
Using a water bath to maintain the temperature of an electrical component is a proposed method for an experiment investigating the effect of temperature on impedance. Concerns were raised about wrapping the component in plastic while using the water bath. Suggestions included measuring temperature with a thermocouple or IR sensor and using a data acquisition system for real-time data collection. Alternatives such as using an oven for temperature control or insulating the component with bubble wrap to slow cooling were also discussed. For temperatures below room temperature, a mixed-solvent cooling bath was recommended as a viable option.

Homework Statement
I want to do an experiment on investigating the effect of temperature on the impedance of an electrical component, but realizing that it is difficult to maintain the temperature of it. I am considering using a water bath with the electrical component wrapped in plastic but thinking it is inappropriate to do so. Do you have any suggestions?

Using water bath to maintain temperature of the component
Welcome to PF.

What type of component is it? Can you post a link to the datasheet? How are you going to measure its temperature during the experiment? Are you going to use a thermocouple or IR sensing or some other technique?

How will you be acquiring the temperature data? Do you have a data acquisition system? If so, what is its sample rate?

Will you be using an oven to control the temperature of the circuit?
 
To @berkeman's questions, I would add, Would it be possible to take your measurements on the fly? If you can take the temperature and impedance measurements fast enough, you can heat the component (hair dryer?) to some temperature above room and take the measurements as it cools down. You can even retard the cooldown by insulating the component with, say, bubble wrap. If you want to control the temperature, that's another bucket of worms.

You might also wish to consider a mixed-solvent cooling bath for temperatures below room.

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...

Thread 'Minimum mass of a block'

Here we know that if block B is going to move up or just be at the verge of moving up ##Mg \sin \theta ## will act downwards and maximum static friction will act downwards ## \mu Mg \cos \theta ## Now what im confused by is how will we know " how quickly" block B reaches its maximum static friction value without any numbers, the suggested solution says that when block A is at its maximum extension, then block B will start to move up but with a certain set of values couldn't block A reach...
