Digital simulations and modelling tools have proven beneficial in researching specific heat capacity. Computational thermodynamics allows scientists to anticipate materials' thermal behaviour, reducing the need for significant experiments. This study proposes a simple technique through the use of low-cost laboratory equipment for estimating the specific heat capacity of solids using computational thermodynamics. The calorimeter is made of double insulated containers and connects to an open-source USB data-collecting device and an Arduino. Data gathering works with any PC or Mac that has a USB connection and is powered by open-source Python software. This combination of experimental and simulation improves measurement accuracy and produces more exact results in a quicker timeframe. As part of their educational plan, fourth-year students in the Thermo mechanical Department at the Technical College of Basrah helped design, manufacture, and calibrate devices with limited resources while becoming acquainted with experimental procedures throughout the semester. This innovative approach enhances technical knowledge and promotes effective, sustainable solutions for practical applications.
