Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of experimental equipment, in particular to an experimental device for simply measuring the thermal conductivity of liquid. Background Art

[0002] Liquid thermal conductivity (also known as thermal conductivity) is a physical quantity that measures the ability of a liquid to conduct heat. It is defined as:

[0003] Under stable heat transfer conditions, when the temperature difference between the two surfaces of a 1-meter-thick liquid material is 1 Kelvin (K), the amount of heat transferred through an area of 1 square meter per unit time is measured in watts per meter Kelvin (W / (m·K)).

[0004] The mathematical expression is:

[0005]

[0006] q is the heat flux, λ is the thermal conductivity, ΔT is the temperature difference, and Δx is the material thickness.

[0007] The greater the thermal conductivity, the greater the liquid's ability to conduct heat. Thermal conductivity is an inherent physical property of liquids and is closely related to factors such as the type, structure, temperature, and pressure of the substance.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0042] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0043] Reference Figure 1-3 The present invention provides a simple experimental device for measuring the thermal conductivity of liquid, comprising:

[0044] Base plate 1, with a support frame installed on the top surface of base plate 1;

[0045] The thermostat 2 is fixed to the top surface of the bottom plate 1, and a top cover 3 is detachably connected to the top of the thermostat 2;

[0046] Side panels 4, four groups of side panels 4 are provided in the constant temperature box 2, and the four groups of side panels 4 together form a rectangular frame structure;

[0047] The pads include an upper pad 5 and a lower pad 6. The upper pad 5 abuts against the top cover 3, and the lower pad 6 abuts against the bottom wall of the thermostat 2. The four sets of side panels 4 are located between the upper pad 5 and the lower pad 6.

[0048] Temperature measuring columns 7, there are four groups of temperature measuring columns 7, the cross-sectional shape of the four groups of temperature measuring columns 7 are all isosceles trapezoidal, and the temperature measuring columns 7 are vertically arranged between the upper pad 5 and the lower pad 6;

[0049] The temperature measurement system includes a carrier frame and a mounting plate 8. The carrier frame is installed on the support frame. The mounting plate 8 is arranged between the temperature measuring column 7 and the upper pad 5. A pressure rod 9 is installed on the carrier frame. One end of the pressure rod 9 passes through the top cover 3 and the upper pad 5 and abuts against the mounting plate 8. A plurality of thermocouples are installed on the mounting plate 8. The plurality of thermocouples are respectively arranged corresponding to the plurality of temperature measuring columns 7. The thermocouples are connected to the control system.

[0050] Liquid supply system, a liquid filling bag is provided between the enclosure and the temperature measuring column 7, and the liquid filling bag is connected to the liquid supply system;

[0051] Among them, heaters are respectively installed on the enclosures.

[0052] When the present invention is working, place the experimental device on a horizontal ground to ensure that the bottom plate 1 is stable. Install the top cover 3 of the thermostat 2 and ensure that it is well sealed to prevent heat loss. Install a heater on the side panel 4 and connect the power supply and control circuits. Place the liquid-filled bag between the panel and the temperature measuring column 7, and inject different pressures and / or different types of liquids to be tested through the liquid supply system. Install the carrier frame of the temperature measuring system on the support frame, and adjust the position of the pressure rod 9 so that it can be pressed evenly and stably on the mounting plate 8. Install the thermocouple on the mounting plate 8 and ensure that it corresponds one-to-one with the temperature measuring column 7, and connect the thermocouple and the control system circuit. Start the heater to heat the liquid in the thermostat 2. The power and heating time of the heater can be adjusted according to the experimental requirements. At the same time, start the temperature measuring system, and the control system begins to record the temperature data transmitted by the thermocouple. Since the cross-sectional shape of the temperature measuring column 7 is an isosceles trapezoid, the contact area with the liquid is increased, thereby improving the accuracy of the temperature measurement. During the heating process, the liquid expands due to the heat, but due to the restraining effect of the liquid-filled bladder, the liquid forms a stable heat conduction environment around the temperature measuring column 7. The control system calculates the liquid's temperature distribution and thermal conductivity in real time based on the temperature data transmitted by the thermocouples. After the heating and temperature measurement phases are completed, the heater and temperature measurement system are turned off. The temperature data is exported from the control system for processing and analysis. Using heat conduction theory and analytical methods, the thermal conductivity of the liquid is calculated from the temperature data. Based on these experimental results, the thermal conductivity of the liquid can be evaluated and compared.

[0053] As a further optimization, partitions 10 are fixedly connected to opposite sides of the side panels 4. These partitions 10 are isosceles trapezoidal in shape and arranged at a 45° angle to the side panels 4. The placement of partitions 10 prevents interference between adjacent liquid-filled bladders, ensuring the relative independence of the experiments.

[0054] To further optimize the solution, the support frame includes columns 11 and beams 12. There are two groups of columns 11. The two groups of columns 11 are symmetrically and vertically fixedly connected to the top surface of the base plate 1. The beams 12 are horizontally fixedly connected to the top of the columns 11, and the load-bearing frame is installed on the beams 12.

[0055] To further optimize the solution, the load-bearing frame includes an upper mounting frame 13 and a lower mounting frame 14, and the upper mounting frame 13 and the lower mounting frame 14 are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the beam 12, and a sliding rod 15 is vertically fixedly connected to the upper mounting frame 13, and the lower mounting frame 14 is slidably connected to the sliding rod 15, and a spring 16 is fixed between the lower mounting frame 14 and the beam 12, and the spring 16 is sleeved on the sliding rod 15, and the pressure rod 9 is vertically fixedly connected to the lower mounting frame 14, and a bracket 17 is fixed on the top of the beam 12, and a hydraulic push rod 18 is fixedly connected to the top of the bracket 17, and the top of the hydraulic push rod 18 is vertically fixedly connected to the upper mounting frame 13.

[0056] The support frame consists of an upper mounting frame 13 and a lower mounting frame 14, respectively positioned above and below the crossbeam 12. The upper mounting frame 13 is slidably connected to the lower mounting frame 14 via a slide bar 15, while the lower mounting frame 14 is fixedly connected to the crossbeam 12 via a spring 16. The spring 16, mounted on the slide bar 15, provides an upward spring force to the lower mounting frame 14 while also allowing it to slide up and down on the slide bar 15. A pressure rod 9 is vertically fixed to the lower mounting frame 14, transmitting force to the mounting plate 8 and thermocouple, ensuring close contact between them and the temperature measuring column 7. When the experiment begins, the liquid supply system injects the test liquid into the liquid-filled bladder. Subsequently, the hydraulic push rod 18 begins operating, pushing the lower mounting frame 14 and pressure rod 9 downward until they are in close contact with the mounting plate 8 and thermocouple. During this process, the spring 16 is compressed, providing a stable support force for the lower mounting frame 14 and pressure rod 9. As the pressure rod 9 moves downward, the contact pressure between the mounting plate 8 and the thermocouple and the temperature measuring column 7 gradually increases, ensuring that the thermocouple can accurately measure the temperature of the temperature measuring column 7.

[0057] The top end of the hydraulic push rod 18 is vertically fixedly connected to the upper mounting frame 13, and the bottom end of the hydraulic push rod 18 is fixed to the top of the crossbeam 12 through the bracket 17. The hydraulic push rod 18 is used to adjust the relative position between the upper mounting frame 13 and the lower mounting frame 14, thereby achieving precise control of the pressure applied to the pressure rod 9.

[0058] To further optimize the solution, a temperature measuring hole 19 is opened on the top of the temperature measuring column 7, and a thermocouple is placed in the temperature measuring hole 19.

[0059] According to a further optimization scheme, the liquid supply system includes a liquid storage tank 20 , to which a plurality of delivery pipes 21 are fixedly connected. The plurality of delivery pipes 21 pass through the constant temperature box 2 and the enclosure and are connected to the liquid filling bag, and a pressure pump is installed on the delivery pipe 21 .

[0060] To further optimize the solution, thermal insulation pads 23 are respectively provided between the mounting plate 8 and the temperature measuring column 7 and between the lower pad 6 and the temperature measuring column 7 .

[0061] According to a further optimized solution, the top cover 3 and the thermostat box 2 are detachably connected via positioning screws 22 .

[0062] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "longitudinal", "transverse", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship, are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0063] The embodiments described above are merely descriptions of preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit of the present invention, various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present invention by persons skilled in the art should fall within the scope of protection defined by the claims of the present invention.
