List of Experiments:
Conduction Heat Transfer Unit
1. Investigation of Fourier Law for linear conduction of heat along a simple bar.
2. Study the conduction of heat along a composite bar and evaluate the overall heat transfer
coefficient.
3. Investigate the effect of change in cross sectional area on the temperature profile along a thermal
conductor.
4. Examine the temperature profile and determine the rate of heat transfer resulting from radial
steady conduction through the wall of a cylinder.
5. Determine the effect of surface contact on thermal conduction between adjacent slabs of material.
6. Investigate the influence of thermal insulation upon the conduction of heat between the adjacent
metals.
1. Demonstrate the relationship between power input and surface temperature in free convection.
2. Demonstrate the relationship between power input and surface temperature in forced convection.
3. Demonstrate the use of extended surfaces to improve the heat transfer from the surface.
4. Determine the temperature distribution along an extended surface.
5. Comparison of a vertical and horizontal flat plate in free convection.
