Thermal Conductivity of Metal Rod Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-TWL-11773
Quick Answer: Thermal Conductivity of Metal Rod is a heat transfer set-up in which one end of a metal bar is heated electrically while the other end sits in a cooling water jacket. Temperatures along the bar give its temperature profile and thermal conductivity.

Key Features
Metal bar heated at one end by an electric heater, with heat input set through a variac.
Other end of the bar projects into a cooling water jacket.
Middle portion of the bar surrounded by a cylindrical shell filled with insulating material.
Bar temperature measured at different sections.
Jacket water circulated at a constant rate, with flow rate and temperature rise noted.
About This Product
Students set a heat input on the variac and record the temperature at each section of the bar, together with the jacket water flow and its temperature rise. The water side shows the heat passing through the bar, and combined with the temperature distribution along it this gives the thermal conductivity. Repeating the run at other heat inputs provides data at various temperatures. The Thermal Conductivity of Metal Rod can be dispatched from India to Lesotho, Iceland, Somalia, Panama, United States and Vanuatu.
Frequently Asked Questions
What experiments can be done?
Plotting the temperature distribution along the length of the bar, and determining the thermal conductivity of the bar at various temperatures by varying the heat input.
How is heat removed from the bar?
The cold end projects into a jacket through which water circulates at a constant rate; its flow rate and temperature rise are noted.
