PHYSICS LAB-2

EXPERIMENT-7
HEAT TRANSFER BY CONDUCTION
NAME: Viks

ENROLLMENT: …………

BATCH: E

AIM:
1. To find the thermal conductivity of a material by the two slabs guarded hot plate
method.
2. To find the thermal resistance of the sample.

FORMULA USED:
The amount of heat Q that flows through the slab in the time t is given by

Rate of conduction

And thus (1)

Where ΔT = T1 – T2, and k is the thermal conductivity of the material, is a measure of its
ability to conduct heat. The SI unit of k is Wm-1K-1.
The thermal resistance R of a layer of a material of thickness d and of thermal
conductivity k is given by

. (2)
The greater the value of R, the greater the resistance to the flow of heat.
(MATERIAL: CARDBOARD)
