4200.36

Thermal Conductivity Apparatus

Code: 4200.35

A simple apparatus to study heat conductivity

With this apparatus it is possible to study heat conductivity of different materials. Constructed of a glass jar with three different rods (aluminium, brass and PVC) of equal shape, it can contain cold or hot liquids, therefore demonstrating heat transmission through different materials.

Sturdy and easy to use, this kit provides repeatable and accurate results every time. Ideal for use with RED Temperature Probes (such as code 4840.42 or 4830.11)

Specifications
Size: Dia. 13×20 cm
Weight: 1.2 kg

Equipment Needed
Vernier Caliper (code 2213.10)

Equipment Suggested
RED Temperature Sensor (code 4840.42) or
RED Temperature Sensor Plug-In (code 4830.11)

MAIN COMPONENTS

  • Glass jar with rods
  • Alcohol Thermometer
    (-10 to +110 °C)

LAWS AND PRINCIPLES INVESTIGATED

  • Heat Transfer
  • Gradient of temperature
  • Heat capacity
  • Heat coefficient

EXAMPLE OF USE: Thermal conductivity

It is common experience that certain materials conduct heat faster than others. For example, take a steel spoon and immerse part of it in boiling water. After a short time, you will observe the flow of heat from the water through the metal. You can do the same with a wooden spoon and observe that heat transfer is much slower. Wood is an example of insulator while the steel is an example of conductor. In this way, it is possible to verify that each material has a different thermal coefficient and transmits heat in different times.
