    Thermal Conductivity of Insulating Powder

    Uploaded by

    Yash Rana
    The document describes an experiment to determine the thermal conductivity of an insulating powder. A copper sphere with internal and external radii of 100 mm and 110 mm, respectively, was heated to different voltages. Temperature readings were taken at multiple points on the inner and outer spheres and averaged. Using the average temperature difference between the inner and outer spheres, along with the heat input, radius, and thickness of the insulating layer, the thermal conductivity was calculated to be 2.90933 W/m-°C.
