Experiment 2 One-Dimensional Conduction Heat Transfer

This document describes an experiment on one-dimensional conduction heat transfer. The objectives are to determine the temperature distribution equation for steady-state heat transfer and calculate the integration constants. The components used are an electrical heater, digital thermometer, and insulation. The procedure involves placing the thermometer on the heated surface and recording the temperature once it stabilizes. Results and calculations to determine the integration constants using boundary conditions are still pending. The conclusion is that conduction allows for heat transfer between objects and electricity via direct contact between atoms.

1. OBJECTIVE

1.1 We will discuss here cases where heat transfer occurs in


only one direction and at a constant rate. The transfer of heat in one
direction means that the heat transfer in the other two directions is
neglected and that the heat distribution only occurs in that direction.
As heat transfer at a constant rate, it means that the heat transfer is
neither time dependent nor a function of time. Although models of
heat transfer in one direction and at a constant rate are easy, they
can be used accurately to describe many engineering systems.

1.2 Find Temperature distribution equation for steady state One-


Dimensional Conduction Heat Transfer.

1.3 Find the integration constants (C1&C2).

2. INTRODUCTION

We treat situations for which heat is transferred by diffusion under one


dimensional, steady state conditions. The term "one dimensional" refers to
the fact that only one coordinate is needed to describe the spatial variation
of the dependent variables. Hence, in a one-dimensional system,
temperature gradients exist along a single coordinate direction, and heat
transfer occurs exclusively in that direction. The system is characterized by
steady state conditions if the temperature at each point is independent of
time. Despite their inherent simplicity, one-dimensional, steady state
models may be used to accurately represent numerous engineering
systems.

We begin our consideration of one-dimensional, steady state conduction by


discussing heat transfer with no internal generation. The objective is to
determine expressions for the temperature distribution and heat transfer
rate in common geometries. The concept of thermal resistance (analogous
to electrical resistance) is introduced as an aid to solving conduction heat
transfer problems. Then, extensive discussions on thermal insulations
because of their importance and widespread use, including the optimal
thickness of insulation are presented.

7. Calculations

The equation for the temperature distribution across a wall can be found by
solving the thermal diffusion equation with the use of the special conditions
appropriate for the frame. The general equation for heat transfer by
conducting in one direction, at a constant rate, without generating heat,
simplifies to the picture:

d dT
k⋅
dx dT( )
=0 (2-10)

T ( x )=c 1 x +c 2 (2−11)

To find the integration constants (C2 & C1), it is necessary to use the frame
states (Boundary Conditions). Here we will choose the states in which the
surface is at a constant temperature.

4. PROCEDURE

4-1- We put the thermometer on the surface where the temperature is to be read,
and put an insulation so that the reading is accurate.

2-4- Turn on the heater, so that the heat flux begins to gradually move to the
surface.

3-4- When the thermometer reading stabilizes at a certain degree, it is recorded, at


which time the heat flux is completely transferred from the heater to the roof. This
is the steady state Temperature

Heat Transfer
Experiment 2. One- Dimensional Conduction Heat Transfer

At first we notice the thermal resistance of the metal was very little, due to the
small thickness of the metal wall Likewise, the thermometer reading stopped for a
while, this indicates that the process has reached a steady state and there is no heat
transfer during that moment.

Finally, the heat flux is not completely transferred due to losses and dissipation due to conditions

Heat Transfer
Experiment 2. One- Dimensional Conduction Heat Transfer

How is it possible to transfer heat between objects and for us to have electricity?
This is all because of a very important process called conduction. Conduction is
the transfer of energy in the form of heat or electricity from one atom to another
within an object by direct contact.

If heat is transferred by conduction in one direction through a given wall, then the
temperature is in a function in the x direction only, and the heat transfer occurs in
that direction
