Which Metals
Conduct Heat best?
|
| |
|
| |
Introduction:
Although all
metals are good heat conductors, they are not heat
conductive at the same rate. Some metals are simply a
better heat conductor than others. For safety and energy
conservation reasons we may want to use metals that are
not good heat conductors. On the other hand for
efficient heat transfer from pipes and radiators to the
air we may need metals that are very good heat
conductors.
Knowing the heat conductivity of different metals can
help us in selecting the right metal for different uses. |

Material
and instructions:
In this project you
will compare different metals to see which one is a better heat
conductor. Materials and equipment needed for the experiments
may be found at home or obtained locally. |
