Re: [Phys-l] Heat transfer lab

Sci.Am. long time ago discussed these w/ the comment, carrying a bucket of hot water was much faster than any conduction.

Does your rod work by vaporization at one end and condensation at tother, or is it simple convection?

bc thinks could be quantitative if the temp diff. was very great and was simply a measurement to find the thermal conductivity of the Al bar.

Stainless has gone practically nowhere in the short time it takes the special heat-exchanger rod to change color along the full length of the rod.
