OBJECTIVES
The purposes of conducting this experiment is to investigate the temperature profile
and thermal conductivity of fluid
TEST PREPARATION
1. Place the equipment on a level surface.
2. Connect the water inlet manifold at the front of the unit to a cold water supply.
3. Connect the water outlet manifold at the rear of the unit to a drain.
4. Connect the power cable to a single phase, 220 - 240 VAC / 13 A / 50 Hz power
supply and switch on the power supply.
5. Switch on the mains power on the control panel.
6. Check to ensure that all the temperature sensors are working properly by
comparing the readings for each point. The readings should be approximately equal,
with deviations of no more than 0.5C. Note any differences for zero error correction
later.
7. Switch on heaters and set their input power to 75 W. Observe the temperature
inside the test modules to ensure that they are working properly.
8. If all components are in good working order, the system is ready for use.
METHODS
The purpose of conducting this experiment is to investigate the temperature profile
and thermal conductivity of fluid.
Basically, the govern equation, Fouriers Law is used to identify the thermal
conductivity is;
q=kA
dT
dx
k=
q dx
A dT
From the equation, we know that the parameters that can be manipulated are area,
A that perpendicular with heat flow, q ,the amount of power is supplied, and dx,
distance of heat flow.
The value for q is controlled by heaters and set to input power to 75W (in this
experiment).
Then, after one minute, the temperature of TC 101 (temperature controller) and TI
101 (temperature of water surface) is taken from control panel.
Using the area given, A ,the value of k is determined.
