GUNT Heat conduction is one of the three basic forms of heat transfer. According to the second law of thermodynamics, heat always transfers from a higher to a lower energy level. This GUNT training unit enables targeted teaching and experimentation on heat conduction in fluids, emphasizing the fundamental differences between gases and liquids.
Product Features
- Experimental setup focuses on heat conduction through fluids, including water, oil, air, and carbon dioxide
- Core structure includes an electrically heated inner cylinder and a water-cooled outer cylinder
- Concentric annular gap between cylinders ensures controlled heat transfer and minimizes convective effects
- Narrow annular gap allows large pass-through area with homogeneous temperature distribution
- Temperature sensors located inside and outside the annular gap for precise thermal readings
- Microprocessor-based instrumentation housed securely within the unit
- GUNT software package includes operation system, data acquisition tools, and educational software with illustrations and explanations
