(10) Plot a graph of temperature T of brass disc as a function of time. A typical plot is shown in Fig. 2. Draw tangential line
to the curve, corresponding to the temperature, T2 and determine its slope. The slope is equivalent to
(11) Calculate thermal conductivity, ‘K' using equn (3) and by multiplying a correction factor
Here, h is the thickness of the brass disk. The correction
factor is introduced because the cooling measurement was not exactly the same environment of steady state measurement. |
