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, which 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. 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.
RADIAL HEAT CONDUCTION EXPERIMENT
An experimental module to introduce students to the principles of radial heat conduction, and to allow the conductivity of the test disk to be measured.
