CONDUCTIVITY OF LIQUIDS AND GASES

Experiment that allows the testing of various fluids to find their thermal conductivity. Fits onto the Heat Transfer Experiments Base Unit.

This experiment has three concentric cylinders. The inner cylinder contains an electric heater (the heat source). The test liquid or gas forms a second, thin cylinder around the heat source.

The whole assembly is mounted on a base plate with a clear schematic of the experiment layout. Learn about CONDUCTIVITY OF LIQUIDS AND GASES specifications for optimal educational outcomes.. Heat passes by conduction from the heat source, through the test liquid or gas, to the heat sink. Thermocouples measure the temperature on the inside and outside edges of the cylinder of test liquid or gas. Learn about CONDUCTIVITY OF LIQUIDS AND GASES equipment for optimal educational outcomes..
