PURPOSE
• Conduct a series of thermal conduction experiments which examines the effects on heat transfer with varying cross-sectional area and distance. – Using this thermal conduction information derive
Fourier’s law of thermal conduction.
• Analyze the temperature variance in a series of metal rods that are in physical contact. – From this information determine thermal resistance
and contact resistance.

Fundamental
Equations
Rate of heat flow at the heat sinkmw = mass of cooling water displaced in time t (kg)
Cp = Specific heat of water at constant pressure (kJ/kg °C)
T = (Tout - Tin) of cooling water (°C)
t = time required to displace a volume Vw of water (s)
This equation is used to determine the amount of energy that is being absorbed by the coolant. Once this is determined for each unit, it is assumed to be the constant rate of conduction through each material.

Thermal Contact Resistance
Determination Units #1 and #2
Thermal contact resistance(Rc) is a discontinuity in the temperature gradients between two materials in contact. The value is determined by projecting the temperature gradients, calculating the temperature difference, and dividing the temperature difference by the power that is transmitted through the materials.
Factors affecting thermal contact resistance: 1 - Surface Roughness2 - Type of materials in contact3 - Temperature materials are at4 - Pressure applied to materials5 - Type of fluid trapped at interface
