HEAT TRANSFER APPARATUS FOR


CONDUCTION

Manufactured by:
2

Objective: To study the working of conduction model


Apparatus: Model of conduction model
Introduction:
conduction heat transfer is the transfer of heat through matter (i.e., solids, liquids, or
gases) without bulk motion of the matter.

Main parts of conduction


1. Temperature Indicator
2. On/Off switch
3. Dimmer
4. Heater
5. Metallic Plate
6. Temperature Sensor
Procedure
1. Start the apparatus
2. Increase slowly voltage with the help of dimmerstat
3. Note down the reading of temperature

Formula used
Heat transfer rate by conduction

Where
A= surface area = 0.09 x0.09 = 0.0081 m²
d= thickness of plate = 1.2 mm= 0.0012 m²
Q= heat transfer rate
K= 0.4 W/m K
