Popis: The critical radius effect is an interesting phenomenon of heat transfer in insulated circular solids. Insulating a cylinder or sphere larger than the critical radius has the expected effect of retarding heat loss. If the radius of cylinder or sphere is smaller than the critical radius, adding insulation will actually increase heat loss. In present paper a copper cylinder is heated by means of a heater 300W 240V which heats uniformly the copper cylinder. This copper cylinder is bounded by asbestos. By heating of copper cylinder asbestos gets heated.Tappings for thermocouple are given along insulation for asbestos. Finally critical radius of insulation for a cylinder is determined.
