Extended Surface Heat Transfer

Extended Surface Heat Transfer

•    This experiment has a thin solid bar with an electric heater at one end.
•    It mounts on a base plate with a clear schematic of the experiment layout.
•    The bar has a matt black coating for a consistent and predictable emissivity value.
•    Thermocouples measure the temperature along the surface of the bar at equally spaced intervals.
•    Students use initial test results to predict the temperatures and heat flow along the bar.
•    The electric heater and thermocouples connect to sockets on the Heat Transfer Experiments Base Unit.
•    Heat conducts along the bar and transfers to the local surroundings by natural convection and radiation.
