Emissivity Measurement Apparatus

Category:

The present set-up is designed to measure the emissivity of the test plate. It consists of a test plate and black plate comprises of a mica heater sandwiched between two circular plates. As all the physical properties, dimension and temperature are equal hence heat losses from both plates will be same except radiation loss and the input difference will be due to difference in emissivity. Both plates are supported on individual brackets in a enclosure with one side transparent to ensure steady atmospheric conditions. Temperature Sensors are provided to measure the temperature of each plate and surrounding. A Digital Temperature Controller is provided to have an automatic smooth control on required heat input to the heater as per user requirements. Further steady state of experiment is achieved in very less time as compared to manual control. Electronic energy meter is provided to measure the heat input.
