SOLVE

To determine the coefficient of thermal conductivity of the metal rod and to measure the temperature gradient along the length of the metal rod.

Diameter, d = 20mm

Length Interval = 70mm

C_p = 4.18kJ/kg-K

Length of shaded area = 300mm

The experiment is conducted in standard room temperature and pressure also ensuring there is a constant flow rate (Vf) of water.
