The heat transfer process by which energy is exchanged in the form of heat between
different bodies may be given in three ways: conduction, convection and radiation. Our
interest lies in the first. The thermal conductivity of iron was studied. First, we studied
the relevant equations such as Fourier's law, energy balance and the differential equation
governing the transmission of heat .Then several measurements were performed was
studied , the average phase velocity was calculated to determine the thermal conductivity
and the diffusion coefficient thermal . We used Periodic heating method in the end of the
bar was used.
Key words:
Conduction, Fourier's law, energy balance, thermal conductivity, thermal diffusion
coefficient.
1. INTRODUCTION
The experiment consist in the study of
the thermal conductivity of iron, to begin
the analysis is appropriate to deduce the
expression we will use to study concepts
such as Fourier's law, energy balance and
some considerations.

6. DISCUSIONS
For data processing could not make the
adjustment in Origin for the equation
(12) because this is an ideal equation.
Also worth noting that doing half cycle
(off or on) the wave has fallen and
downs; and fences have peaks and points
that are nearly constant, therefore a
statistical error is considered for
inclusion.
The experimental value of k is less than
the theoretical, this is due to a reason in
principal that while longer you wait to
get the heat from point to point x1 x2,
then t is greater, then v k will therefore
be lower less. But because the t is large
compared with k t makes it very similar
to the theoretical k, is because if the iron
was completely isolated from the
surroundings, whether the asbestos had
an efficiency of 100%, the heat would
flow directly from point to point x1 and
x2 as this does not happen, a little heat
flow is dissipated to the surroundings,
causing a delay in driving this.
