Linear Heat Conduction

Specification:

• A small-scale accessory designed to introduce students to the principles of linear heat conduction, and to enable the thermal conductivity of various solid conductors and insulators to be measured.
• Comprises a heating section, cooling section plus four intermediate section conductor samples and two insulator samples.
• The heating section, cooling section and one of the intermediate sections are fitted with thermocouples (eight in total) evenly spread along the length of the assembled conduction path.
• All sections are insulated to minimise errors due to heat loss.
• Includes a water pressure regulator and a manual flow control valve.
• Includes a water pressure regulator, an electronic proportioning solenoid valve to control the cooling water flow rate and a water flow meter.
• Heater power variable up to 60 Watts.
• Water flow rate variable up to 1.5l/min.
• Heating and cooling sections, 25mm diameter.
• The accessory is mounted on a PVC baseplate, which is designed to stand on the bench top and connect to the Heat Transfer Service Unit without the need for tools.
• A comprehensive instruction manual is supplied.
