Document Summary
Wright state university, department of mechanical and materials engineering. Determination of the thermal conductivity of a metallic rod. Objective: conductivity of a metallic rod with a round cross section for heat flow. Utilize fourier"s law of heat conduction to determine the thermal. Experimental procedure: based on scoping runs made by the students, an experimental procedure will be determined. Report: the objective of the written report is to show that the students are capable of collecting the appropriate data to determine the thermal conductivity of the rod. The report must include an experimental procedure, hand calculations, and a discussion of the results including appropriate plots and conclusions. Caution: the heater voltage must not be greater than 110 v. do not let any temperature in the system go above 200oc! The objective of the experiment was to measure the thermal conductivity of two sample metallic rods using fourier"s law of heat conduction.
