How do i measure thermal conductivity?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on measuring thermal conductivity of liquids for a school project. The modified transient plane source technique, developed by Dr. Mathis at C-Therm, is identified as one of the simplest methods for this purpose. The participant, Vivek, seeks accessible methods and resources, mentioning a link to Hukseflux for additional information. The conversation emphasizes the importance of using reliable techniques and tools for accurate measurement.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of thermal conductivity principles
  • Familiarity with laboratory equipment for thermal measurements
  • Knowledge of the modified transient plane source technique
  • Basic research skills to access scientific resources
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the modified transient plane source technique from C-Therm
  • Explore thermal conductivity measurement methods on Hukseflux
  • Investigate laboratory equipment suitable for thermal conductivity experiments
  • Study the principles of heat transfer in liquids
USEFUL FOR

Students, educators, and researchers interested in experimental physics, particularly those focusing on thermal properties of liquids.

I need a simple method of measuring thermal conductivity of liquids for a school project. I have access to the school's science labs, so I can get the basic equipments (hopefully). All I need is a method of measuring thermal conductivity.
