Experiment #1:

Measurements of Thermal Conductivity



OBJECTIVE

To measure the thermal conductivity of two materials (steel and
brass).


What is heat transfer?

Heat transfer is thermal energy in transit due to a temperature
difference.

What is thermal energy?

Thermal energy is associated with the translation, rotation,
vibration and electronic states of the atoms and molecules
that comprise matter. It represents the cumulative effect of
microscopic activities and is directly linked to the temperature
of matter.

Modes of Heat Transfer
Conduction: Heat transfer in a solid or a stationary fluid (gas or liquid) due to
the random motion of its constituent atoms, molecules and /or
electrons.
Convection: Heat transfer due to the combined influence of bulk and
random motion for fluid flow over a surface.
Radiation: Energy that is emitted by matter due to changes in the electron
configurations of its atoms or molecules and is transported as
electromagnetic waves (or photons).
Conduction and convection require the presence of temperature variations in a material
medium.
Although radiation originates from matter, its transport does not require a material
medium and occurs most efficiently in a vacuum.

Problem: Electronic Cooling
We know from Heat Transfer, that if a plane wall of thickness (x) and a
cross sectional area (A) is maintained at two different temperatures at both
ends of (x) with a temperature difference of (T), then the heat transfer
per unit time (q) will be proportional to the cross-sectional area (A) and the
corresponding negative temperature gradient (-dT/dx= T/x), i.e.:

Heat flow can be modelled by analogy to an electrical circuit where heat
flow is represented by current, temperatures are represented by voltages,
heat sources are represented by constant current sources, thermal
resistances are represented by resistors and thermal capacitances by
capacitors.

The heat flow will be in the perpendicular-to-the-cross-section direction, i.e.
one-dimensional. The coefficient of proportionality is (k) and is called the
"coefficient of thermal conductivity" or simply "thermal conductivity."
Thermal conductivity, k, is the property of a material that indicates its
ability to conduct heat.
It may be easily determined if all the above quantities are known (measured),
i.e.:



k =(q / A)/(T/x)
All quantities in the above equation have coherent units (SI units in this experiment):
k [W/m/ K]; Q [W]; A [m2]; T [K or C], because this is temperatures difference, so
[K] or [C] will give the same result; and x [m].
