Radial Heat Conduction Experiment

Radial Heat Conduction Experiment

•    This experiment has a solid brass disc with an electric heater (heat source) at its centre and a circular crosssection cooling tube (heat sink) around its circumference.
•    It mounts on a base plate with a clear schematic of the experiment layout.
•    The electric heater and thermocouples connect to sockets on the Heat Transfer Experiments Base Unit.
•    At equally spaced radii on the disc, seven thermocouples measure the temperature as the heat conducts radially outwards from the heater.
•    Insulation around the disc reduces heat loss by convection and radiation, so that the results should match the theory for simple radial conduction only.
•    Also supplies the cold water feed and drain for the heat sink Students turn on the cooling water flow and adjust the heater power until the experiment reaches equilibrium.
