Quick question - why is the temperature gradient of the water parallel with that of the gas ? Surely it would make more sense for the water to flow with the inlet at the top and the drain at the bottom as the water would always be colder than the adjacent gas that way?
if water flows down the condensing jacket and drains at the bottom, air pockets form in the jacket leading to inefficient cooling. also, the gas will be hottest at the bottom, so the coldest water will run parallel to the hottest gas - again, efficient cooling.
Given that certified lab jacks cost 100-500$ and a block of wood costs next to nothing with the same if not more functionality, the block of wood would seem like the obvious choice! Almost no labs are equipped with a fleet of jacks, and since the block of wood as a riser can be made readily available for dozens if not hundreds of students in the lab, overpaying for a fleets of scissor jacks just for the chem lab is definitely a bad investment.
Hey thanks for the video, it really helpful to see a visual step by step to better understand how to set thing up myself!
Awesome blossom. Thanks

Thank you so much
Thanks
And grease the joints

who's here from 13B chem??🔥🔥
me 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
meeee 😂😂😂😂 13B chem 🔛🔝
me 🫡☝️🔥
Why are people in all these reflux videos not wearing gloves...
GO FLYERS!
wooden block? tf is this the Stone Age? just use lab jacks
