Abstract


This experiment was carried out to design modified Lee's disc method of measuring the thermal conductivity of a poor conductor in the form of a flat disc. The modified Lee's disc set-up is equipped with various types of electrical device and probes. The components used to implement the design were chosen because of their ability to withstand high voltage and temperature levels. Most of these instruments are utilized in industrial settings. The designed instrument was used to test the thermal conductivity of some low insulating materials. The value of k which is the rate of flow of heat through a material per unit area per unit temperature gradient was determined. The units of k are Wm-1K-1 (from Js-1m-1K-1). The thermal conductivity of the selected materials was tested to validate the effectiveness of the modified design.

Author Keywords: Conductor, heat transfer, Lee disc, temperature and thermal conductivity.
