AIM:
APPARATUS:The apparatus consists of a metal bar one end of which is heated by a electric heater
while the other end of the bar projects inside the cooling water jacket. The middle portion of
the bar is surrounded by a cylindrical shell filled with the asbestos insulating powder. The
temperature of the bar is measured at different section.
The heater is provided with a dimmerstat for controlling the heat input. Water under
constant head conditions is circulated through the jacket and its flow rate and temperature rise
are noted by two temperature sensors provided at the inlet and outlet of the water.
THEORY:The heater will heat the bar on its end one and heat will be conducted through the bar
to the other end. Since the rod in insulated from outside, it can be safely assumed that heat
transfer along the copper rod is mainly due to axial conduction and at steady state the
abconducted shall be equal to the heat absorbed by water at the cooling end. The heat
conducted at steady state shall create a temp. Profile within the rod.
T = f (x)
The steady state heat balance at the rear end of the rod is:
Heat absorbed by cooling water = Q= M.CpT
Where
M= Mass flow rate of cooling water, kgC
Cp =Specific heat of water, K cal/ KgC
T = temp rise of cooling water= (T-T)
