Measuring the Output of a Hydrogen Inhalation Device
To measure the output of a hydrogen inhalation device, you can follow a simple and effective method using a half-liter bottle and a water jar. Here’s a step-by-step guide along with the calculation:
- A half-liter (500 ml) bottle
- A water jar large enough to submerge the bottle
- The hydrogen inhalation device with an angled output tube
- Fill the half-liter bottle completely with water.
- Fill the water jar with water.
- Turn the bottle upside down and submerge its opening into the water jar, ensuring no air enters the bottle. The bottle should be fully submerged with its opening under the water surface.
- Insert the angled output tube of the hydrogen inhalation device into the submerged opening of the bottle. Ensure the tube is secure and the hydrogen gas can flow directly into the bottle.
- Turn on the hydrogen inhalation device. The hydrogen gas will start displacing the water in the bottle, causing the water to flow out into the surrounding water jar.
- Use a stopwatch to measure the time it takes for the bottle to completely empty of water. The time recorded will help determine the output rate of the device.
Calculation:
Example: Suppose the half-liter (500 ml) bottle empties itself in 10 seconds.
Steps:
1. Convert the bottle volume to liters: 500 ml = 0.5 liters.
2. Measure the time taken: 10 seconds.
3. Determine the output rate in liters per minute (L/min).
Formula:
Output Rate (L/min) = Volume (liters) / Time (minutes)
Convert the time from seconds to minutes:
Time (minutes) = 10 seconds / 60 seconds per minute = 0.1667 minutes
Calculate the output rate:
Output Rate (L/min) = 0.5 liters / 0.1667 minutes ≈ 3 liters per minute
Therefore, if the 500 ml (0.5 liters) bottle empties in 10 seconds, the hydrogen inhalation device’s output is approximately 3 liters per minute.
This method provides a straightforward way to measure the output rate of a hydrogen inhalation device accurately.
