Calculating Thermal Conductance of Axial Cylinder

Click For Summary
To calculate the thermal conductance of a cylinder in the axial direction, one must consider the cylinder's dimensions, specifically the length and radius. The discussion emphasizes the importance of providing initial calculations or attempts to identify specific areas of confusion. Participants are encouraged to share their methodologies to facilitate targeted assistance. Understanding the principles of heat transfer and the relevant equations is crucial for accurate calculations. Engaging with the community can enhance problem-solving and clarify complex concepts.

How to calculate the thermal conductance ( in axial direction ) of a cylinder having length equal to its radius

hi chatterjeesin! welcome to pf! :wink:

show us what you've tried and where you're stuck, and then we'll know how to help! :smile:
 
My idea is that I want to use immerse Whitetail Antlers in a fishtank to measure their volumetric displacement (the Boone and Crockett system is the current record measurement standard to place in a juxtaposition with) I would use some sight glass plumbed into the side of the tank to get the change in height so that I can multiply by the tank cross-section. Simple Idea. But... Is there a simple mechanical way to amplify the height in the sight glass to increase measurement precision...
