• Radial and linear heat conduction trainer introduces the principle of radial and linear heat conduction and thermal conductivity in solids.
• The trainer is used to determine basic laws and characteristic variables of heat conduction in solid bodies.
• The trainer comprises a linear and a radial experimental setup, each equipped with a heating and cooling element.
• Different measuring objects with different heat transfer properties can be installed in the experimental setup for linear heat conduction.
• The electric heater and thermocouples connect to sockets on the Heat Transfer.
• The trainer includes sensors that are used to record the temperatures at all relevant points.
• Trainer setup consisting of experimental unit, display and control unit.
• Linear heat conduction experiment has: 3 measuring objects, heating and cooling element, 9 temperature measuring points.
• Radial heat conduction experiment has: brass disc with heating and cooling element, 6 temperature measuring points.
• Cooling process is done by means of tap water for the heat sink.
• The measured values which read from digital displays can be transmitted simultaneously via USB directly to a PC, where they can be analysed using photon software.
