Figure above shows the apparatus used in
Searle's method which is used to determine the
thermal conductivity of a good conductor, such
as a metal.
The special feature of the apparatus is that the
sample is in the form of a thick, long insulated
rod.
Although the rod is insulated, a little heat is
lost from the sides of the rod. The rod is of
large cross-sectional area, so that the rate of
heat lost from the sides is negligible compared
to the rate of heat flow along the rod.
