DISCUSSIONS & CONCLUSIONS
according to this
You have demonstrated the variation of the body temperature with time experimentally and theoretically. In addition, you used the Heisler chart to calculate h. You are supposed to discuss the following:
 The accuracy of the Lumped Capacitance Method in predicting the variation of the temperature with time. Discuss whether or not this method is applicable in your cases. Specifically, your discussion
should include:
o The effect of the body material and geometry on the conduction resistance,
o The effect of the convection resistance of the ambient fluid.
 Discuss the possible sources of error within the equipment or through measurements, etc. This should
include
o Any possible delay between starting the data acquisition and the test shape entering the hot water.
o The accuracy of the temperature measurement since it is located at the center of the test shape.
Is the temperature gradient negligible?
