Thermal Conductivity
ABSTRACT:
This project is related to thermal conductivity. This experiment show the thermal conductivity for material and its comparison with provided values. In this project we show how heat transfer from on body to another body. We do this project according to Fourier’s Law of heat conduction.
In this experiment we use 3 apparatus to complete this procedure in Lab HT 10X heat transfer service unit HT 10XC Heat Transfer Service Unit HT11 Linear Heat Conduction Accessory
When we have all material related to this task we are ready to do experiment first of all we check all sections linked with other perfectly. Then we start doing procedure to measure thermal conductivity
We use different equations …show more content…

What is thermal conductivity?
“Thermal conductivity means the property of a material for conduct heat. This procedure is done according to the Fourier’s Law for heat conduction.” The reciprocal of thermal conductivity is thermal resistivity, usually expressed in kelvin-meters per watt (K•m•W−1). Thermal conductivity is the process of transfer heat from one part of body to another with which it is linked. Thermal conductivity can be measured in watts per square meter.

In this Experiment we have to measure Thermal conductivity to regulate the material and its comparison with provided values. To do this task we have to follow Fourier’s Law by measuring the change in temperature during experiment. We use the following apparatus to do this experiment HT 10X heat transfer service unit
HT10X is a service unit that is used to provide demonstrations related to heat transfer problems and other problem that effect heat transfer.

HT 10XC Heat Transfer Service Unit
HT10XC is a computer-controlled service unit, this unit supports several accessories. This unit provide a wide range of demonstrations into the modes of heat transfer, factors that affect heat transfer, and other related …show more content…

We use the equation in the case of forced convection for flow of cylinder.

INTRODUCTION:
This project is about Temperature measurement.in this project we are going to measure temperature of Nusselt number with flow of horizontal cylinder. What is temperature measurement? How can we measure it? What is Nusselt number?
“The process of measure ratio of any heated material is called temperature measurement we can measure temperature with the help of thermocouples, Thermistors, Thermometers.”
“The Nusselt number (Nu) is the ratio of convective to conductive heat transfer across (normal to) the boundary. Nusselt number is close to one.
In this experiment we have to measure temperature of Nusselt number with heat transfer coefficient for flow of a horizontal cylinder here the is the diameter and length of cylinder. We have to determine heat transfer from a horizontal cylinder. Diameter of Cylinder: D= 0.01 (m) Heated Length of Cylinder: L= 0.07 (m)
We have the following apparatus to do this task: HT 10X Heat transfer service unit
HT10X is a service unit that is used to provide demonstrations related to heat transfer problems and other problem that effect heat transfer. HT14 Combined Convection and Radiation
