HEAT TRANSFER BY CONDUCTION

1) AIM –

1. To find the thermal conductivity of a material by the two slabs guarded hot plate
method.
2. To find the thermal resistance of the sample.

2) FORMULA USED –

Power (Heat) = V*I

Th = (T1 + T2+ T3 + T4) / 4
TC = (T5 + T6) / 2
TGP = (T7 + T8) / 2
K = V*I*d/ [A*(Th - Tc)]

4) CALCULATION –

Material used – Asbestos - Cement board

Diameter – 20 cm
Thickness – 0.6 cm
Cold Water Temperature – 60 C
Th = (6.53 + 7.28 + 7.26 +7.28) / 4 = 7.08
TC = (6 + 6)/2 = 6
 TGP = (13.4 +7.28) / 2 = 10.34
R = 10 cm
A = 3.14 * (10)2 = 314 cm2
K = 100 * 2 * 0.6 / [314 * (1.08)] = 0.3538 Wm -1K

5) RESULT –

Thermal conductivity of the given specimen by conduction = 0.3538 Wm-1K
