    3. Discussion:

    Heat conduction or thermal condition is to transfer heat by thermal radiation or convection. The
    purpose of this experiment is to study the conduction of heat along the complex bar and to calculate
    the total heat transfer coefficient. This experiment was focusing on the cylindrical metal bar
    arrangement for heat conduction. Total heat transfer coefficient and total calculated heat transfer
    coefficient was compared in this experiment.
    According to the graph it displays that when we increase the input power Q (watt), the total transfer
    coefficient U will decrease. While evaluating the heat transfer coefficient using the thermal
    1 𝑋𝐻 𝑋𝑆 𝑋𝐶
    geometry equation ( = + + ), K used for brass and stainless steel to find the total
    𝑈 𝐾𝐻 𝐾𝑆 𝐾𝐶
    𝑄
    transfer coefficient U. When we compare the value of U using this equation 𝑈 = then
    𝐴(𝑇𝐻𝑆 −𝑇𝐶𝑆 )

    we can get to know the difference between theoretical and experimental values. In this experiment
    the heat conduction occurs in three dimensions which often requires extensive computation to
    analyze.

    4. CONCLUSION:

    When the input power increase the input will effect the heat transfer coefficient and the total heat
    transfer coefficient will decrease. There will be the difference between the theoretical value and
    experimental value of U is different just because of the difference in variables in which input
    power, area, temperature distance and thermal conductivity used.
