Thermal Conductivity of Metals

Product Code:In stock

*An ENGLISH instruction manual with elaborate experimental procedures and block diagram etc. shall be provided with the training system set-up.

The basic phenomenon of heat conduction occurs due to the temperature difference between different locations of a body. In this setup a one-dimensional temperature gradient along a copper and aluminum rod is investigated. The quantity of heat dQ transported with time dt is a function of the cross-sectional area A and the temperature gradient dT/dx perpendicular to the surface.

Vital topics:

• Heat transportation.
• Thermal conductivity.
• Temperature gradient.

Details

• Safety tested high current power supply.
• Sample rod (Copper & Aluminum).
• Digital Micro-voltmeter
• Precision temperature sensors

List

• Exp-1 To determine the heat capacity of the calorimeter.
Exp-2 To study the thermal conductivity of copper and aluminum at a constant temperature gradient.
