Objectives
To determine the thermal conductivity of a solid body using analytical transient-
temperature/heat flow charts from the measurements taken on a similar body but having a
different thermal conductivity
Theory
Analytical solutions are available for temperature distribution and heat flow as a function of
time and position for simple solid shapes which are suddenly subjected to convection with a
fluid at a constant temperature. These solutions were presented in graphical form by M. P.
Heisler and are called Heisler Charts. Typical charts for a large plate, long cylinder and
sphere are shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3.
Since the flow of water vertically upwards through the duct is constant for all of the
measurements, the heat transfer coefficient h will remain constant for each shape.

Time
Steel Brass
The value of h will be same if the size, shape, surface finish of body immersed in water
and water velocity are constant.
The value of ‘k’ for the steel is changing due to assumption that plate is infinity and
cylinder is infinity but that is not correct. The theoretical value is around 25 W/m-°C and
the error is due to taking end temperature at different time for different shapes. Also we
see that its much less than conductivity of brass and steel specimens take more time to
reach around same temperature.
Applications
Steel have lower thermal conductivity than brass hence we should use brass where
need faster heat transfer but brass have lower melting point than steel so it cannot be
used in high temperature applications.
Use of Heisler’s chart provides a fast and efficient way to tackle the problem of
unsteady convective heat transfer in 1D for engineering purposes.
