Abstract: An experimental setup was made to analyse some of thermodynamic properties of water. In these setup two pressure cookers was used. They were connected with a brass pipe having a gateway i.e., throttling valve in it. There was a pressure gauge and a temperature gauge fixed on the cap of each pressure cooker. A flow meter connected to brass pipe by poly urethane pipe was used to measure the volume flow rate of water vapour. Steam was generated in one of the pressure cooker by boiling water and second had left empty. Now generated steam was passes through brass pipe having gateway towards second pressure cooker. In this way, all the required reading of each measuring instrument was taken by this experimental setup. Thus all the thermodynamic properties of water like Joule-Thomson curve, P-V, T-s and h-s diagrams were studying by this setup

Keywords: Pressure cookers, throttling device, free expansion, Joule-Kelvin effect, P-V, T-s and P-h diagrams
