Abstrakt: Because of the wide range of applications in which metals are used, heat conduction is unquestionably important. Metals have high thermal conductivities because they have a large number of free electrons, which help to transmit heat quickly through the fabric. Metals are commonly utilized as conductors as a result of this ability; in physics, metals are commonly seen as cooking utensils, heat exchangers, and warmth sinks. Engineers and developers need to be able to precisely live the heat conduction of metals in order to decide what type of metal to utilize for a specific application. Regarding these requirements the thermal conductivity measuring apparatus for Cartesian and cylindrical coordinates is proposed for development. Design of testing chamber and heating coil are initiated to accompany the cylindrical and Cartesian coordinate components. Based on the design, the various materials for chamber, heating coil and insulating materials will be selected. Fabrication work to be completed based on the design. Heat supplied is controlled by an Auto transformer which is used to regulate the applied voltage. Voltmeter and Ammeter are connected in the experimental arrangement to note the applied voltage and current respectively. Thermocouples are used to measure the temperature of the specimen surfaces at different locations. After measuring the required values, the values are substituted in the thermal conductivity formula and the thermal conductivity of the specimen is obtained. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
