DESCRIPTION:

The apparatus is designed to determine thermal conductivity of different liquids. The apparatus consists of a heater. The heater heats a thin layer of liquid. A cooling plate removes heat through liquid layer, ensuring unidirectional heat flow. Temperature is measured across the liquid layer and complete assembly is properly insulated. A proper arrangement for changing the liquids is provided. The whole assembly is kept in a chamber.

EXPERIMENTATION: 

• Determination of thermal conductivity of liquid.
• Study of variation of thermal conductivity of liquid with temperature. 

UTILITIES REQUIRED:

• Water supply 2 lit/min (approx.)
• Drain.
• Electricity Supply: 1 Phase, 220 V AC, 2 Amp.
• Table for set-up support.
• Computer System: Pentium IV with DVD Drive, Windows 7, MS-Office pre-loaded. One USB slot required in PC for DATA ACQUISITION CARD.
