Material Identification:

The calculated thermal conductivity matches with the thermal conductivity of brass as in the literature
therefore the material being used is identified as brass.

Comments on Temperature Gradient of Each Power Setting:

The temperature gradient for each power setting like 30 W and 40 W in this case is quite interesting like
in the previous assignment. The rule is simple as we increase the power of heater the measured and
theoretical temperature increases and this temperature goes on decreasing as we move along the radius to
the outside direction.
As far as the measured and theoretical values are considered there is very little difference in them as we
can see the curves on graph above. This minor difference might be because of real world factors that are
considered while experimenting while they are ignored during theoretical calculations.
