TH322 · Heat Conduction & Convection
Heat conduction and convection are two of the three fundamental mechanisms of heat transfer, and in practice they rarely act in isolation. The TH322 bench is designed to make these phenomena directly observable and quantifiable — giving students the tools to move from abstract theory to measured, reproducible data within a single laboratory session.
The working principle is elegantly straightforward: a metal specimen is heated at one end and dissipates heat to the surrounding air along its length, behaving as a classic cooling fin — one of the most ubiquitous elements in engineering design. An array of six axial fans mounted below the specimen allows the instructor to switch seamlessly between free convection (still air) and forced convection (controlled airflow), while six temperature sensors capture the resulting thermal gradient in real time.
