GUNT Heat radiation is one of the three fundamental methods of heat transfer, occurring via electromagnetic waves and not requiring a material medium. Unlike conduction and convection, radiation can even transfer energy through a vacuum. This GUNT experimental unit provides clear, hands-on understanding of radiation-based heat transfer using controlled light sources and precise thermal sensors.
Product Features
- Uses a halogen lamp with parabolic reflector to generate a concentrated light beam
- Continuously adjustable lamp intensity for precise heat input control
- Metallic specimen positioned at the light beam’s focal point for heating
- Thermopile mounted on a movable carriage to measure emitted thermal radiation at varying distances
- Includes various specimens with different surface finishes for comparison
- Thermocouple placed at the specimen for accurate temperature detection
