In this lab you will be investigating the effects of different environmental factors on the rate of transpiration in a plant. You will be using a. potometer. (a pipette attached to a rubber tube) to measure the rate of water loss in a plant.n this lab you will be investigating the effects of different environmental factors on the rate of transpiration in a plant.

The carâs radiator acts as a heat exchanger, transferring excess heat from the engineâs coolant fluid into the air. The radiator is composed of tubes that carry the coolant fluid, a protective cap thatâs actually a pressure valve and a tank on each side to catch the coolant fluid overflow.
Â­Â­The radiator cap actually increases the boiling point of your coolant by about 45 F (25 C). How does this simple cap do this? The same way a pressure cooker increases the boiling temperature of water. The cap is actually a pressure release valve, and on cars it is usually set to 15 psi. The boiling point of water increases when the water is placed under pressure.
