Specification
The present setup is designed to study the heat transfer through composite walls. It consists of a heater sandwiched between a composite structure having three different types of slab on either side. A small hand press frame is provided to ensure the perfect contact between the slabs. Heat produced by heater flows axially on both the sides. Temperature Sensors are embedded at the interfaces of slabs to determine the temperature gradient. The experiments can be conducted at various values of heat input and calculation can be made accordingly. 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.
