Emissivity Measurement Apparatus for Educational Laboratory.
Product Code:
Heat0021
Description:
Emissivity Measurement Apparatus
- The present Set-up is designed to measure the emissivity of test
plate. The test plate comprises of a mica heater sandwiched between two
circular plates.
- Black plate is identical with test plate, but its surface is blackened.
- As all the physical properties, dimension and temperature are equal
heat losses from both plates will be same except radiation loss.
- Hence the input difference will be due to difference in emissivity.
- Both plates are supported on individual brackets in a enclosure with one side glass to ensure steady atmospheric conditions.
- Temperature Sensors are provided to measure the temperature of each plate and surrounding.
- Electric Supply is given to heaters through separate variacs so that
temperatures of both can be kept equal and is me asured with Digital
Voltmeter and Digital Ammeter.
Experimentation:
- Determination of the Emissivity of a test plate.
- Study the variation of emissivity of test plate with absolute temperature.
Utilities Required:
- Electricity Supply : 1 Phase, 220 V AC, 4 Amp.
- Table for set-up support.
