    Emissivity Measurement Apparatus

    Uploaded by

    Rupam Roy
    This document provides instructions for using an emissivity measurement apparatus. It describes the objective of measuring the emissivity of a test plate by comparing it to a black plate. The experimental set up includes two identical plates, one blackened, connected to individual heaters, voltmeters and thermometers. The procedure measures the temperature and power input of each plate at increasing temperatures. Calculations are then shown to determine the emissivity of the test plate based on the heat input difference and temperatures. Safety precautions and troubleshooting tips are also included.

    OBJECTIVE :

    Study of radiation heat transfer by Black Plate and Test Plate

    AIM :

    To find out the emissivity of test plate.

    INTRODUCTION :

    All substances at all temperature emit thermal radiation. Thermal radiation is an electromagnetic wave
    and does not require any material medium for propagation. All the bodies can emit radiation and have also the
    capacity to absorb all or a part of the radiation coming from the surrounding towards it.

    THEORY :

    An idealized black surface is one which absorbs all the incident radiation with reflectivity and
    transmissivity equal to zero. The radiant energy per unit time per unit area from the surface of the body is called
    as the emissive power and is usually denoted by E. The emissivity of the surface is the ratio of the emissive
    power of the surface to the emissive power of a black plate at the same temperature. It is denoted by ε.

    ε = E
    EB

    For a black body absorptivity = 1 and by the knowledge of Kirchoff’s Law of emissivity of black body becomes
    unity. Emissivity being a property of the surface depends on the nature of the surface and the temperature. The
    present experimental setup is designed and fabricated to measure the property of emissivity of the test plate
    surface at various temperatures.

    DESCRIPTION :

    The experimental set up consists of two plates : the test plate comprises of a mica heater sandwiched
    between two circular plates. Black plate is identical with test plate, but its surface is blackened. As all the
    physical properties, dimension and temperature are equal, heat losses from both the plates will be same except
    the radiation loss. Hence, the input difference will be due to difference in emissivity. Both the plates are
    supported on individual brackets in a wooden enclosure with one side glass to ensure steady temperature of
    each plate and surrounding. Supply is given to heaters through separate variacs so that the temperatures of both
    can be kept equal and can be measured with digital voltmeter and Digital ammeter.

    SPECIFICATION :

    Black Plate : Material Brass


    : 160 mm diameter
    Test Plate : Material Brass
    : 160 mm diameter
    Heater : Nichrome Heater (400watt) wounded on mica and insulated
    With mica.
    Temp. Sensor : RTD Pt – 100 type (3 Nos.)
    Control Panel : Digital Voltmeter (0-300 V)
    Digital Ammeter (0-2 Amp)
    Variac (0-230 V), 2A
    Digital Temp. Indicator (0-300 ºC) with multi channel switch
    ON/OFF Switch, Mains Indicator etc.

    PROCEDURE :

    1. Ensure that Mains ON/OFF switch given on the panel is at OFF position and Dimmer stat is at zero
    position.
    2. Connect electric supply to the set up.
    3. Switch ON the Mains ON/OFF switch.
    4. Set the Black plate heater input by the dimmer stat.
    5. Set the test plate heater input by the dimmer stat.
    6. After 1 hours, observe the difference in surface temperature of black plate (T 1) and test plate (T2) and
    adjust the heater input of black plate to make both the sensor reading same.
    7. Wait for 5 minutes every time after changing the black plate heater input and then again change the
    input if required.
    8. At the same surface temperature note down the reading of voltmeter, ampere meter and temperature
    sensors in the observation table.
    9. After the experiment is over, set the dimmer stat to zero position.
    10. Switch OFF the Mains ON/OFF switch.
    11. Switch off the electric power supply to the set up.
