DISCUSSION

For this experiment, we are conducted the experiment about the market boiler.
Marcet boiler was made by Nathan Chamberlain, Boston, USA, in the year 1850. He made
this boiler for measuring the vapor pressure of saturated liquid. Later this Marcet boiler was
used to study the evaporation filtration of water.
Pressure and temperature are two fundamental quantities of materials in thermodynamics.
These two factors have relation directly proportional to each other. The temperature and the
pressure are compared by the graphs plotted based on the tabulated data as for both were
almost constant throughout the experiment.
The air from the boiler should be removed to avoid it from rapping inside the
boiler as it can effects the accuracy of the reading during the experiment. When there were air
trapped inside the boiler, it will affect the pressure readings. Based on the graphs, the
relationship between pressure and temperature is directly proportional and there is a slightly
deviation between the experimental slope and the theoretical slope at the beginning.
This is because, When a container contains saturated liquid and are heated to its
boiling temperature, the liquid will be changing its state from liquid to steam. If the steam
are not allowed to escape from the container, their internal pressure will increase Because,
when the liquid becomes gas by heating, the internal molecular energy will increase and the
atoms will be more excited. All the excited atoms will hit each other and split with more
speed or velocities. As their mass remains constant, so their forces on each other will
increases. And when their forces on them increases, and are not allowed to occupy more area,
they exerts pressure on the container, which gradually increases with temperature. Hence it is
calculated and proved from the graph, that temperature is directly proportional to the
pressure.
The error percentage should not cross or exceed 10%, as the experiment was done
in enclosed surface and no volume of experimenting samples are allowed to escape from the
system. That is done in closed system.
It is important to remove gas at the beginning to avoid the flaws of reading
due to pressure difference. Marcet boiler is being used as water boiler, gasifier, powerplant,
cooking utensils, steam plant industries, etc.

CONCLUSION.
From the experiment, it is found from the graph and calculation, temperature of a
saturated steam is directly proportional to the pressure in equilibrium with water. When the
temperature of steam increase, the pressure also will increase and vice versa. Besides, This is
proved with the graph of average temperature against the absolute pressure plotted above by
using the data collected from the experiment.
