| 總結: | Heat transfer has been applied in many different engineering fields and used in
designing engineering tools. Therefore, it is important for engineering students to
understand heat transfer. Students will understand better if they can see, test, and
analyze the phenomenon directly compared to just reading the literature. The need to
get a good device to study heat transfer is the basis for this final project. The science of
heat transfer is divided into three major parts; namely heat conduction, convection, and
radiation. This final project concentrates in showing the phenomenon of radial
conduction.
The approach used in this final project are as follows: to design the test rig by
first simulating in the Fluent software, manufacture the device, perform trial testing,
and analyze test results. Preliminary results are obtained in the form of temperature
distribution in the radial direction of the test specimen. Based on this, the thermal
conductivity of the test specimen may be calculated.
The theoretical thermal conductivity of the steel specimen is 60.5 W/mK. The
thermal conductivity obtained from the experiment is 20.4 W/mK. Upon further
evaluation, we may conclude that the discrepancy originates from thermal losses in the
system. However, the test result is still in the same order of magnitude as the
theoretical ones. Hence, we may conclude that the prototype performs well, but
requires further refinement. |
