Convection and Radiation
Under real conditions, heat transport between two objects is normally substance-bound, i.e., convection and/or heat conduction, and is not substance-bound, i.e., radiation, at the same time. Determining the individual heat quantities of a transfer type is difficult. The WL 377 trainer allows users to match individual heat quantities to the corresponding transfer type. The core element is a metal cylinder in a pressure vessel. A temperature controlled heating element is located in the center of the cylinder. Sensors capture cylinder wall temperature and heating power. This metal cylinder is used to examine the heat transfer between the heating element and the wall of the container.
