Unsteady State Heat Transfer Unit - Stainless Steel 30l Insulated Water Bath, 3.0 Kw Electric Heater, Built-in Temperature Sensors, Heat Transfer Laboratory Equipment

Specification:
UNSTEADY STATE HEAT TRANSFER UNIT
This Unsteady State Heat Transfer Unit has been designed to allow students to run experiments on unsteady state heat transfer. The unit is supplied with a heated water bath and a set of solid shapes with built-in temperature sensor to monitor the temperature at the center of the shape. Monitoring of the temperature at the centre of the shape allows analysis of heat flow using the appropriate transient-temperature/heat flow charts provided.
Description
Two sets of simple shapes (a solid sphere, a rectangular slab, a long solid cylinder) made of brass and stainless steel are supplied. Each of the shapes has a built-in temperature sensor to measure the temperature at the centre of the shape. Measurements taken on a shape of a particular material can be used to confirm the conductivity of a similar shape of a different material.
Transient-temperature/heat flow charts are supplied for each of the shapes. The water bath has a capacity of 30 litres and is heated by a 3.0 kW electric heating element. The temperature of the water bath can be maintained and predetermined by means of a temperature controller before taking any measurements. The large volume of water in the bath ensures that any change in the temperature of the water, as the measurements are taken, is negligible. A circulation pump mounted alongside the water bath circulates water from the bath to the base of a vertical cylindrical duct which is located at the centre of the water bath.
