Experiment 1 Linear and Radial Heat Conduction (Spreadsheet)

The document summarizes an experiment measuring the thermal conductivity of brass. Thermal conductivity was measured for both a linear module and cylindrical module of brass. For the linear module, temperature was measured at different points along the axis for varying heat inputs. For the cylindrical module, temperature was measured at different radial distances from the center for varying heat inputs. Thermal conductivity values were calculated for each trial and an overall average thermal conductivity was determined for both modules. Graphs of temperature versus distance showed good agreement with theoretical predictions.
