EXTENDED SURFACE HEAT TRANSFER

Experiment that demonstrates an example of conduction combined with losses due to radiation and convection. Fits onto the Heat Transfer Experiments Base Unit.

This experiment has a thin solid bar with an electric heater (heat source) at one end. It mounts on a base plate with a clear schematic of the experiment layout. The bar has a matt black coating for a consistent and predictable emissivity value. Learn about EXTENDED SURFACE HEAT TRANSFER specifications for optimal educational outcomes.. Thermocouples measure the temperature along the surface of the bar at equally spaced intervals. The electric heater and thermocouples connect to sockets on the Heat Transfer Experiments Base Unit. Learn about EXTENDED SURFACE HEAT TRANSFER equipment for optimal educational outcomes.. Heat conducts along the bar and transfers to the local surroundings by natural convection and radiation. Students use initial test results to predict the temperatures and heat flow along the bar. Learn about EXTENDED SURFACE HEAT TRANSFER manufacturers for optimal educational outcomes..
