Computerized Thermal Conductivity of Metal Bar

Description

The apparatus consists of a metal bar; one end of the metal bar is heated by an electric heating coil while the other end projects inside the cooling water jacket. The middle portion of the rod is surrounded by an insulating material like asbestos to minimize lateral heat transfer from the rod and thus ensure a more nearly constant temperature gradient throughout the length of the rod. The temperature of the bar is measured at five different locations while the radial temperature distribution is measured separate thermocouples at two different sections in the insulating shell. The heater is provided with a dimmer stat for controlling the heat input, water can be circulated through the jacket and its flow rate and temperature rise can be noted down.
