Abstract
A simple experiment based on thermal imaging is devised to observe and measure, along a cooling fin in contact with a hot spot, the temperature profile determined by conductive and convective heat transport. By using a simple theoretical approach, the cooling fin equation is justified and applied to describe, in an educational framework and perspective, the experimental results. Both the experimental setup and the theoretical model discussed in this work are suited for undergraduate physics students.
