Mak 302

This experiment report summarizes results from an experiment on heat transfer through a plane wall. The purpose was to measure temperature distribution and determine how thermal conductivity changes with applied voltage. Temperature and current were measured at different points along the wall for three voltages. Graphs of temperature versus distance showed a steep drop between some points. Calculations were done to determine thermal conductivity values for different voltages, which were close but not identical, possibly due to experimental defects.

Graph 2.1 Temperature – Distance graph for 9 V 12V and 17V


In Graph 2.1 it is clear that there is a dramatic decrease between T3 and T6 in all voltage
values. Even though T1 values of every voltage value have different values, T6 values are
close together.

Table 2.2 Thermal conductivity values for each voltage values

As seen in Table 2.2, it has been observed that the conductivity values of the hot and cold
regions of different voltage values are close to each other. The small differences between
them can be explained as the defects experienced due to the conditions of the experimental set
and its environment.
