Learning Objectives & Experiments
The SR3028 unit is designed for comprehensive
experimentation and training in the principles of heat conduction through
fluids. It enables practical studies of both steady-state and transient thermal
transfer mechanisms.
✔️ Steady Heat Conduction in Liquids and Gases
·
Determine the thermal resistance
of various fluids
·
Measure thermal conductivity (k) at multiple
temperatures
·
Compare heat conduction behavior
in water, oil, air, and CO₂
✔️ Transient Heat
Conduction
·
Interpret transient
thermal states during heating and cooling cycles
·
Understand dynamic response using the block capacity model
