Thermal Conductivity Of Metal Rod

Product Description

The experimental setup consists of a metal bar, one end of which is heated by an electric heater whilethe other end of the bar projects insidethe cooling water jacket. A cylindrical shell filled with insulatingmaterial surrounds the middle portion ofthe bar.The temperature of the baris measured at different sections.HeatInput to the heater is given through variac. By varying the heat input rates,data can be obtained. Waterat a constantrateis circulatedthroughthejacketanditsflowrateandtemperaturerise arenoted.
