Study Notes
Thermal Conductivity of Insulating Powders Unit
- The test modules used in this unit are designed to measure the thermal conductivity of insulating powders.
- The main objective of the Thermal Conductivity of Insulating Powders experiment is to determine the thermal conductivity of various insulating powders.
Test Module Components
- Each test module has a 200 W cartridge heater as the heating source.
- The power control circuit provides a controlled power input to the heater.
- The temperature sensors and power input to the heater are displayed on a digital temperature indicator and a digital power indicator, respectively.
Temperature Measurement
- The built-in thermocouple in the heater prevents overheating and ensures accurate temperature measurement.
- K-type thermocouples are inserted at six different locations for each test module to measure temperature.
- The sheath of the thermocouples is made of stainless steel.
Power Measurement
- The power transducer measures the power input to the heater.
- The variable transformer in the control panel controls the power input to the heater.
Test Module Design
- The outer cylinder of each test module has a diameter of 150 mm and a height of 200 mm.
- The top cover of the test module consists of a stainless steel plate and a thermal insulation material.
Insulating Powders
- Thermal insulators are materials that have low thermal conductivity, such as powders, fibers, and gases.
- The purpose of using thermal insulators in practical situations is to reduce heat transfer and energy loss.
Thermal Conductivity Equation
- The thermal conductivity (k) of an insulating powder is determined using the equation: k = q * ln(r1/r2) / 2 * π * (T1-T2), where q is the heat flow, r1 and r2 are the radii of the inner and outer cylinders, and T1 and T2 are the temperatures at the inner and outer cylinders, respectively.
