  1. EML 4304L Thermal Fluids LabThermal ConductionExperiment # 3 Mechanical Engineering Department FAMU/FSU College of Engineering

  2. Outline • Purpose of the lab • Testing Equipment • The types of equipment setup • Units 3 and 4 • Units 1 and 2 • Additional components • Heat sinks • Drain tubes • Calculations Needed for Experiment Mechanical Engineering Department FAMU/FSU College of Engineering

  3. PURPOSE • Conduct a series of thermal conduction experiments which examines the effects on heat transfer with varying cross-sectional area and distance. • Using this thermal conduction information derive Fourier’s law of thermal conduction. • Analyze the temperature variance in a series of metal rods that are in physical contact. • From this information determine thermal resistance and contact resistance.
