Transient Heat Analysis

Mechanical Engineering Laboratory
 

March - April 2020

​

Authors: Steven Sun, AJ Morrell, Daniel Powers

 

Advisor: Prof. Ted Bennett

 

Project Overview:​

• Expressed accuracy, response time and sensitivity of thermocouple, thermistor and RTD for temperature measurements

• Conducted transient heating and cooling events using LabView and evaluated results based on lumped capacitance model

• Measured heat transfer coefficients for free and forced convection in MATLAB
