Computerized Composite Wall Apparatus
Product Code : EL-HAMTLE-10755
Quick Answer: The Computerized Composite Wall Apparatus is a heat conduction trainer that lets students study thermal conductivity through various metal samples using an electrically heated top and a Peltier-cooled bottom, with thermocouples and PC-based data acquisition providing real-time temperature readings. It ships with 11 interchangeable samples across 5 metals and can hold two samples at once to study conduction through multi-layered metals, connecting to a PC via USB for software-based operation, data logging, and educational instruction.
Overview:
The Computerized Composite Wall Apparatus offers basic experiments for targeted teaching on the topic of heat conduction through various metals, using one of eleven available samples at a time. The upper region of the sample is heated by an electrical heater while the lower section is cooled by a Peltier element, so that heat conduction occurs through the sample from top to bottom; two samples can also be inserted into the experimental unit at the same time, in order to investigate thermal conductivity through multi-layered metals. The temperature of the metal samples is taken on the top and bottom by means of thermocouples.
With explanatory texts and illustrations, the educational software significantly aids the understanding of the theoretical principles, while the microprocessor-based instrumentation is well protected in the housing. The software consists of a software for system operation and for data acquisition, and an educational software, and the unit is connected to the PC via USB.
