AGENDA 4 DISCUSSION [Presenter: KHIU SIAW CHING ]

The experiment aimed to determine the rate of heat transfer in
both the linear and radial conduction, by analyzing temperature
and determining heat transfer rates. In linear heat transfer, the
observation is that temperature decreases with distance from the
heater due to heat conduction. The temperature decreases as the
radius increases in radial heat transfer. Moreover, the
experiment highlighted the importance of material composition
and dimensions in determining thermal conductivity. Results
indicated that aluminium exhibited the highest thermal
conductivity compared to brass and stainless steel.
Additionally, the experiment demonstrated that increasing
power led to higher temperature distributions. From the
experiment, we can conclude that brass showed higher thermal
conductivity in radial conduction, attributed to more efficient
heat distribution across its cross-section. Variations in thermal
conductivity readings among samples highlighted the impact of
changes in brass size on the results. Measures such as
enhancing power supply precision and ensuring proper
equipment connection were suggested, along with precautions
against thermal paste contact to improve experimental
accuracy.

experiment successfully. By doing so, our group decided to find
more relevant information regarding the experiment through
articles that can be found on internet. We are also dedicated to
using a thorough and organized method, integrating the best
techniques for designing experiments, analyzing data, and
understanding results.

FACTS
1.The transfer of energy as heat is
always from the higher-
temperature medium to the lower-
temperature one.
-Heat propagation in linear conduction
keeps a constant temperature gradient
along the channel of heat flow,
traveling in a straight line from the hot
end to the cool end. In contrast, when
we travel around the radius in radial
conduction, the area over which heat
transfer occurs changes continuously.
FILA Table
IDEAS
i. To determine the relationships
between the heat rate and the
temperature distribution for
state conduction of heat energy
through the wall of a thick
cylinder (radial energy flow)
and demonstrate the effects
when the flow of heat is altered.
ii. To determine the thermal
conductivity of different
materials.
iii. To observe unsteady state
heat conduction and use
this to determine the time
required to reach stable
conditions.
LEARNING ISSUES ACTION PLAN
According to Fourier's law of heat
conduction:
- In order to comprehend the
application of the Fourier rate
equation in determining the
rate of heat flow for steady
state conduction of heat energy
through the wall of a thick
cylinder, the thermal
conductivity of various
materials is determined in this
experiment.
2. Principle of Heat Transfer: Heat
transfer is the process of energy
exchange between objects due to a
temperature difference. It transfers from
high temperature to low temperature. In
linear heat transfer, heat flows in a
straight line through a medium, such as a
rod or pipe. In radial heat transfer, heat
flows outward or inward from a central
point, such as in a sphere or cylindrical
object.
3. A high value for thermal conductivity
indicates that the material is a good heat
conductor, and low value indicates that
the material is a poor heat conductor or
insulator
4. Heat transfer occurs through thermal
conduction, Q̇, which the effectiveness of
a material conducting heat can be
evaluated. Heat transfer is examined
along a linear path, technically through a
solid material (linear heat transfer).
Meanwhile, heat transfer is examined
through a circular or spherical path such
as in a cylindrical rod or a spherical
object (radial heat transfer).
To measure the rate of linear heat
transfer through the different
specimen such as steel, brass, and
aluminium.
To determine the thermal conductivity of
different material.
To compare the thermal conductivity of
brass by using different method which is
radial and linear heat transfer.
How actually the thermal conductivity in
steel brass and aluminium will affect the
rate of linear heat transfer.
The value that needs to recordeds during
experiment is such as temperatures,
voltages, current and distances.
Understanding the principle of heat
transfers, and the usage of Fourier's Law
of heat conduction to assess how well
heat moves through them. Fourier’s law
states that the rate of heat transfer
through a material is proportional to the
temperature gradient and the material's
thermal conductivity. Hence, different
materials that conduct heat across radial
paths and optimize heat transfer
performance can be evaluated.
Read a lot of different books and
articles to learn about linear heat
transfer, Fourier's Law, and how
thermal conductivity affects the rate of
heat transfer in different materials.
Use Forier’s Law to calculate thermal
conductivity of every materials:
i. Conduct experiments using
cylindrical rods made of brass to
measure their heat transfer
characteristics.
ii. Use Fourier’s Law to determine their
thermal conductivity and analyse the
heat transfer rates across the radial
cross-sections of the cylindrical rods.
