- A hollow pure aluminum sphere with an electrical heater in the center is used in tests at steady-state conditions to determine the thermal conductivity of insulating materials. The inner diameter of the sphere is 0.350m; the outer diameter is 0.400m. For this test, the inner surface temperature of the pure aluminum sphere is held at a constant temperature of 250.0°C. The pure aluminum sphere is uniformly covered with an insulating material, 0.0900m thick. The outside surface of the insulating material is exposed to convection; T_inf = 22.0°C, h_inf = 25.0 W/(m2-K). The power required to keep the inner surface of the sphere at 250.0°C is 85.0W (this is assumed to be equal to the heat transfer rate, q).

- A copper bar is welded end to end to a bar of an unknown metal. The two bars have the same lengths and cross-sectional areas. The free end of the copper bar is maintained at a temperature TH that can be varied. The free end of the unknown metal is kept at 0.0∘C. To measure the thermal conductivity of the unknown metal, you measure the temperature T at the junction between the two bars for several values of TH. You plot your data as T versus TH both in kelvins, and find that your data are well fit by a straight line that has slope 0.460.
