THEORY :
The heater will heat the bar at its end and heat will be conducted through the bar to the
other end. After attaining the steady state temperature heat flowing out of section AA (water) of
bar .

The negative sign is introduced because heat flows in the direction of decreasing
temperature & serves to make the heat flux in the positive direction.

Thus the thermal conductivity of bar at different sections can be calculated.
PROCEDURE:
1) Put ON the electric supply.
2) Give input to the heater by the dimmer stat.
3) Start the cooling water supply through the jacket and adjust it to about 300 to 350
CC/min
4) Go on checking the temperature at some specified time intervals, say 15 minutes and
continue this till a satisfactory steady state condition is reached.
5) Note the temperature readings 1 to 11.
6) Note the mass flow rate of water in Kg/sec and temperature rise in

Variation of thermal conductivity with temperature
RESULT:
1. The temperature of the bar decreases alone the length of the bar and can be plotted.
2. Thermal conductivity of three sections can be calculated and its variation with
temperature can be studied.
