TH101 Linear Heat Conduction

Overview

The TH101 Linear Thermal Conductivity Test Module, under the control of the TH100 Basic Heat Transfer Experiment Bench, is designed to verify whether cylindrical materials follow Fourier’s law of heat conduction in the axial direction, and to measure their thermal conductivity. The module includes a heating rod, temperature sensors, and a water cooling system. The test materials are replaceable and positioned between sensors. The module is covered in insulating material to prevent heat loss via radiation and convection. The heating power is controlled by the TH100 platform, and temperatures are measured via 8 thermocouple points. Thermal grease is applied at the contact points to reduce thermal resistance. Water cooling is applied underneath to maintain stable heat dissipation.
