Thermal Conductivity Of Liquids - Engineering Teaching Equipment

Model No. HTL006

The present apparatus is designed to determine thermal conductivities of different liquids. The apparatus consists of a heater. The heater heats a thin layer of liquid. A cooling plate removes heat through liquid layer, ensuring unidirectional heat flow. Temperature is measured across the liquid layer and complete assembly is properly insulated. A proper arrangement for changing the liquids is provided. The whole assembly is kept in chamber.

Experiments

• Determination of Thermal conductivity of different liquids and to make a comparative study
• Study of variation of thermal conductivity of different liquids with temperature

Utilities Required

• Water supply 5 lit/min (approx.)
• Drain.
• Electricity Supply: I Phase, 220 V AC, 2 Amp.
• Table for set-up support
