    Sara Ghazi Yahya conducted an experiment to measure the thermal conductivity of different materials. The experiment involved using a steam generator to heat samples while an ice block on top melted due to the heat transfer. The mass and diameter of the melting ice was measured over time to calculate the thermal conductivity. Sources of error in the measurement included not ensuring steady state conditions, errors in measuring sample thickness, weight of the ice cylinder, and imprecision of the equipment. Proper insulation, short sample lengths, small temperature differences, and accounting for heat losses can help correct for errors.

    ThermalConductivity

    Measurement Experimen

    Name of student :- Sara Ghazi Yahya

    Aim of the experiment:-


    The coef cient of thermal transfer describes the ef ciency of a
    gas or liquid that transmits energy through its surface and thus
    discharges energy from its surface. This depends on the speci c
    heat, density and coef cient of thermal conductivity of the medium
    to which heat is transmitted as well as the heat-eating body. Heat
    transfer coef cients are calculated by assigning the temperature
    difference between the two contact bodies.

    data as d1 in the .
    4_ Place the ice on top of the sample as shown in
    5_Let the ice sit for several minutes so it be ginsto
    meltan dcomes infull contact with the sample.
    6_Run steam into the steam chamber .Let the steam run
    forseveral minutesuntil temperatures stabilize so that
    the heat ow is steady. Place a container under the drain
    spout of the steam chamber to collect the water that
    escapes from the chamber.
    7_ Collect the melting ice in the container (with the
    steam running) for a measured time (3–7minutes).Record

    discussion :-
    What increases thermal conductivity?

    _2 Temperature effects. Thermal conductivity increases with


    temperature. The insulating medium (the air or gas within the voids)
    3
    becomes more excited as its temperature is raised, and this
    enhances convection within or between the voids, thus increasing
    heat ow.

    What is thermal conductivity measured in?

    _Watts per meter Kelvin Thermal conductivity is a


    property that describes a material's ability to conduct
    heat. It is often denoted as k and has the SI units of.
    W/m·K (Watts per meter Kelvin). Thermal conductivity is
    a key parameter in measuring conductive heat transfer.

    Is a high K value good?

    _K-Value represents the thermal conductivity of a


    material, and it measures its ability to conduct the heat.
    So, the lower the K-value, the better the insulation is.

    Why are there errors in measuring the value of k?

    _Neglecting the state of the stable system and errors in


    measurements.

    How do I correct the thermal conductivity test errors?

    _Use a lot of insulation. Try to achieve parallel heat flow


    in a short sample. If this fails, shorten the sample and
    lessen the temperature difference. Investigate how the
    heat flow depends upon length and temperature
    difference, and try to find an empirical formula which
    models the heat losses, depending on the variables.
    This should allow you to correct the ‘errors’ in your
    predictions of heat flow.

    Why is the value of k wrong in the experiment?

    1. Neglecting his stady state condition


    2. Error in calculating thickness
    3. Cylinder weight error
    4. Devices are not modern, i.e. subject to error
