Project Overview Mission Statement: To provide students with the ability to observe conductive heat transfer and the ability to measure the thermal conductivity of a material. Background: • A material’s ability to transfer heat is a measurable quantity • RIT ChemE department would like to procure lab equipment that would demonstrate heat transfer such that students may be able to calculate thermal conductivity • Experimental results would be comparable to published data
Assembly Drawing • Assembly/ disassembly instructions • Transfer of heat • Linear profile • Size of cold plate • Constant pressure application • Thermal stickers for visual • Losses
Insulation Dimension Analysis Monte Carlo Analysis X = Ideal Insulation Thickness (m) K = Thermal Conductivity (W/mK) A = Area of Sample (m2) T2 = Outside Temperature (K or C) T1=Sample Temperature (K or C) Q = Power in (W) K – Held Constant (0.2 W/mK) A – Held Constant (0.0079 m2) T2– Held Constant (20 C) -Q and T1 are varied simultaneously -Generate large data set and use stochastic methods to determine best insulation thickness It is infeasible to use deterministic methods due to the many non-converging values of X resulting from combinations of Q and T1 . T2 values also change along the length of the sample, adding to the complexity of a deterministic model.
Experimental Basis • Conclusions from Lab • Aluminum graph was more linear than the copper graph • Aluminum sample was longer than the copper sample the longer the sample size, the better the accuracy that was achieved
Power Supply • 0 to 48 voltage range • 0-1 A current range • P=I*V • Provides exact method of calculating energy into the system
