Objectives/Goals My objective is to determine the effect of different gases on the greenhouse effect. I am doing this project because of the strong interest in the effect of gases like CO(2) and CH(4) on global temperature. Methods/Materials Materials: 1. Infrared test cell made up of PVC pipe containing a black-body absorber/radiator and closed off with polyethylene film. (Polyethylene was chosen because it is relatively transparent to IR.) 2. IR source (heat lamp) 3.Thermocouple for measuring temperature 4. CO(2) gas 5. Air Procedure: Purge test cell with air. Shine IR source into the cell for a fixed amount of time Measure temperature rise over time Purge test cell with CO(2) Shine IR source into the cell for the same amount of time Measure temperature rise over time Results The temperature rise in the cell when filled with CO(2) was slightly higher than when the test cell was filled with air.
