Recent previous studies have shown that there is a correlation between heat conductivity and surface materials. In this project, the heat conductivity 3 different samples of T2 copper with different surface roughness was studied. This was done by measuring the temperature of the samples at 9 different point using SOLTEQ Heat Conduction Study Bench (Model HE106). The surface roughness of the different samples was achieved using sandpaper and measured using the (SURFTEST SJ-410) where the different surface roughness was A: Ra=0.379μm, B: Ra=0.71μm, C: Ra=0.053μm. The sample was heated using a heater with 10W of power. From the collected data, it was observed that the specimen with the smoothest surface roughness has the best performing heat transfer with the specimen C that have the highest decreasing percentage temperature followed by specimen B and specimen A.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
