DATA LOGGING ON
COMBUSTION
EXPERIMENT
 INTRODUCTION
Data logging is a process that used computer to collect data through sensors,
analyze and save the data finally output the results of the collection and analysis.

Data logger is an electronic instrument that records measurement at set intervals

over a period of time.

Sensors play a vital role in the data logging process. All physical properties can be
measured with sensors.

By using data logger, the process to collect and analyze information become more
accurate and faster than manual.

PLANNING OF EXPERIMENT

Apparatus & Materials :

Candle, bell jar, matches,

interface, computer,
temperature, oxygen and
humidity sensors.

Procedure:
1. The candle and sensors inside the bell jar were set up and
arranged as the diagram above so that the probes will be well
away from the candle flame.
2. The sensors was connected to the interface.
3. The result was recorded for 3 minutes.
4. Then, the candle was lighted up and covered with bell jar.
5. When the reading start to level out and the candle has
extinguished, air was readmit into the bell jar.
 RESULTS & DISCUSSION
2. The temperature sensor is used to
measure the temperature inside the bell
jar. During combustion reaction, a lot of
heat produced to the top of the bell jar
and make an increase in temperature.
The line graph shows us, when 7% of
oxygen from outside getting in, the
temperature at the top is higher than the
temperature at the bottom.
1. The oxygen sensor used to monitor the
oxygen level. the line graph shows the candle
extinguished at 1.60 minutes with 16% of
oxygen from outside getting inside the bell
jar. The candle still light up when 20 % of
oxygen is supplied into the bell jar which is
enough for combustion. It shows us that
sufficient amount of oxygen is very important
in combustion reaction.
3. Humidity sensor will measure the water
vapour produced. With 13% of oxygen
getting in, it shows that the water vapour
increase from 50% to 90% inside the bell jar.
The capacity of a space to hold water vapour
depends on its temperature. The higher the
temperature, the more water vapour it can
contain.
 EMPOWER
IMPORTANCE OF COMBUSTION

Combustion reactions are an extremely important class of

chemical reactions.
These reactions are vital to our everyday lives.
Do you drive around in a gas-fueled car? Or cook dinner on a
gas stove? How do you keep yourself warm in the winter?
The list of combustion reactions critical to everyday life goes
on.
The combustion of fuels (wood, fossil fuels, peat) have heated
and lit our homes and cooked our food for thousands of years.
Our lives would be completely different if combustion
reactions didn't exist.

 CONCLUSION
In brief, we have conducted an experiment on combustion using data logging

method. Data logging made the experiment to be in a very smooth manner

where we could organize our results well because the usage of ICT helped us a

lot and we support using data logging for any kind of sensor-based experiments

as such of this.

Moreover, combustion is a reaction. Therefore, it too has its own importance.

So, never just look at the negative side of combustion where it has lots of its

own benefits. Its benefits are listed even from a small simple household to a

big-time operating industry.
