GUNT Heat conduction and convection are two fundamental modes of heat transfer that often occur simultaneously. This GUNT experimental unit enables basic experiments on both heat conduction and convection using various metal specimens. The setup allows learners to explore how material properties and airflow conditions affect heat transfer performance.
Product Features
- Designed for experiments on heat conduction and convection using interchangeable metal specimens
- Specimens are heated on one end via an integrated heater and dissipate heat like cooling fins
- Ventilators positioned below specimens produce adjustable airflow for analyzing free and forced convection
- Continuously adjustable fan speed controls convective heat transfer rate
- Enables experiments under still air (free convection) or flowing air (forced convection) conditions
- Comparison of heat conduction between different specimen materials demonstrates material-dependent behavior
- Equipped with five temperature sensors for precise thermal data capture
- Heating power and airflow velocity adjustable via PC-connected software
- GUNT software includes system control, real-time data acquisition, and illustrated educational content
- PC connectivity via USB interface (PC not included); multi-user observation supported via LAN/WLAN with one software license
