Apparatus and procedure:-

Measurements of radial conduction heat

transfer ,will obtained using an experimental

The Radial Heat Conduction Module (H111B)

contain an insulated disc of brass (3.2mm

thick x 110mm diameter)with a brass core

(14mm diameter)and an electric heater at

the center and the disk is also cooled by

water around its circumference from local

tap .
4 - six type K thermocouples are positioned

at inc. radii from the heated center to record

the temp. distribution across the disc. And

are located in drilled holes so that in each

case the measured point is in the center of

the disc thickness.

Each thermocouple is fitted with a miniature

plug for direct connection to the front panel

of the heat transfer service unit

And an edge connector for use with the

HC111A Data Logger .

The procedure for this experiment divided to

5 main points :-

1- Connect the radial heat transfer unit

(H111A) with the heat transfer service unit

(H111) and the computerized data logger

(HC111A).

After making this connection supply cold

water and electrical power to the source.

2- Creating a record file by using the Hilton

data logging software (HC111B) after that

rotate the voltage to 100V and give the

computer an order to start record the data

on a multiple graph display.

The developing of the temperature profile is

seen on the computer then when reaching

steady state region the final temperatures

should be record by hand with the current

and the voltage .

3- repeat the experiment at 160 V.

4- When the experiment procedure is

complete , it is good to turn off the power to

the heater by reducing the voltage to zero

and allow the system a short time to cool

before turning off the cooling water supply

and then close water source and make sure

for that .
5 – turn off the Main Switch .
