LAB 2 LINEAR AND RADIAL HEAT CONDUCTION APPARATUS 1.0OBJECTIVES 1.1 To investigate the thermal conductivity and thermal contact resistance of brass in linear direction. 1.2 To investigate the thermal conductivity of brass in radial direction. 2.0 INTRODUCTION The Linear and Radial Heat Conduction Apparatus is designed for students to study the principles of conduction heat transfer. The student is able to determine the relationship between the rate of heat transfer and temperature gradient, the cross- sectional area and length of the conducting path and thermal conductivity of the material. 2.1 Unit Assembly The equipment comprises two heat-conducting specimens, a multi-section bar for the examination of linear conduction and a metal disc for radial conduction. A control panel supplies electrical power to the heaters and shows readings for all relevant measurements. A small flow of cooling water provides a heat sink at the end of the conducting path in each specimen. - 1 -...
