Thermal Conductivity of Metal Rod Engineering Growth Connection

K.C. ENGINEERS LIMITED

AN ISO 9001:2015 CERTIFIED COMPANY

Description
The present set-up is designed to determine the thermal
conductivity of metal rod. It consists of a metal bar with
one end heated by an electric heater while the other end
projects inside the cooling water jacket. A cylindrical shell
filled with insulating material surrounds the middle
portion of the bar. The temperature of the bar is
measured at different points. Water at constant rate is
circulated through the jacket and its flow rate and
temperature rise is noted.
A Digital Temperature Controller is provided to have an
automatic smooth control on required heat input to the
heater as per user requirements. Further steady state of
experiment is achieved in very less time as compared to
manual control. Electronic energy meter is provided to
measure the heat input.
