Week 3 Update

Week three was our group's time to order all of our materials. We successfully ordered our liquids which were methanol and acetone. Methanol already arrived and acetone is still on its way. Our group is going to use distilled water in our heat pipe, not normal tap water. We will be able to get distilled water from the Disque building because water distilling machines are in the hallway hooked up to the water fountains.
Our group member Jeffery was able to bring copper pipe from home in order to save money on our budget. We will be able to begin assembly of our heat pipe in the following lab. Our plan is to thread one end of the copper pipe and put a threaded cap on the end. This allows for a tight seal and an opening to insert an appropriate liquid.
