TH311 · Conduction in Metals

Experimental Apparatus for the Study of Heat Transfer by Conduction in Metals

Laboratory experiments
  • Steady-state heat conduction - Fourier's law
  • Determination of the thermal conductivity of different metals
    • copper, aluminium, brass
    • steel, stainless steel
  • Temperature distribution along the specimen
  • Thermal resistance as a function of specimen length
  • Thermal resistances in series, contact resistance
  • Influence of the cross-sectional area on heat transfer
