Lab 2 Flashcards
thermocouple
transient response
its a curve from t0 to infinity - steady state
thermal time constant
t = pVc/hcA
Bi number
Bi = hl/K
Lumped capacitance
for when Bi < 0.1
pVc dT/dt = hcA(Tinf-T(t))
steady-state comparative method for solid thermal conductivity measurements
ignores surface heat loss, assumes 1d steady state heat conduction
q = krAr(T1-T2/deltax = ksAs(T3-T4)/deltax = T2-T3/Rcont
fins
they get rid of heat by increasing the surface area for heat convection
there is a table that gives you the equation you need
transient measurment of heat capacity
step by step
lumped capacitance condition
bi number
then lumped capacitance stuff
for small t and steady state - exp 3
T(t) = T0 + (q/pVc)t
