The Measurement of the Specific Latent Heat of Fusion of Ice: Two Improved Methods

Suggests two methods for measuring the specific latent heat of ice fusion for high school physics laboratories. The first method is an ice calorimeter which is made from simple materials. The second method improves the thermal contact and allows for a more accurate measurement. Lists instructions fo...
