Features

• Complete instrumentation for study of Linear Heat Transfer phenomenon.  
• Direct reading of Temperature, Voltage, Current.  
• Optional Computerized Data Acquisition System.  

Tesca Linear Conduction Heat Transfer has been designed for students to study  the phenomena of Linear Heat Conduction. The setup consists of a Heating Section, Cooling Section  & Specimens of different metals. The specimens can be fitted in between Heating & Cooling section.  Test specimens of same metal or different metals can be clamped in between the heating & cooling  sections.
  
Temperature sensors record the surface temperature along length of the specimen. Instruments are  provided to measure the Temperatures, Power Input to heater & Cooling Water Flow rate. 
Detailed Operation & Maintenance Manual is provided along with the trainer.
