Heat Conduction In Solids

 A Dewar vessel prevents the exchange of heat with the surrounding environment. The specimens are equipped with several temperature measuring points. The fundamental laws of steady-state thermal conduction in solid bodies can be investigated with this experimental unit. The heat transfer rate is determined via the current and voltage of the heater. The specimens are arranged between an electrical heater and a water-cooled plate.
