2. The Aim of The Project 🌏
Providing energy efficiency by reducing energy
loss to minimum level.
3. “The Importance of
Heat Insulation
When examined from the point of the view
of daily use, the individual users in the
houses can not be in an economical way as
a result of the heat loss they experience.
From a scientific point of view, it may be
necessary to have good heat insulators or
good heat conductors for varying
conditions in order to ensure that the heat
value is a certain constant and is not
influenced by the environment.
5. Fourier Heat Transfer Law
Heat conduction is the passage of heat from the hot zone to the cold zone in solid
materials or fluids.
In this equation, ΔT (K) represents the temperature difference between the surfaces of a
solid material with different surface temperatures such as T1 and T2 shown below.

10. “ Controlling the temperature of the heat source in the medium to be measured in the
circuit with the sensors(35℃). Be alerted until you are ready.
Transfer of the data from the two sensors to the corresponding file via the created
microcontroller interface after measurement starts.
Recording of data at specified intervals according to the state of the measured
material of incoming heat difference data.
Applying the recorded difference data on the formula using the dimension and
thickness information of the material and instantaneous transfer of the information.
Audible warning and recording of the heat transfer coefficient when the average time
of the measurement results is reached.

11. Work Process
Data Collecting
The values of the heat
transfer coefficient of
the materials to be
measured in the
project work were
obtained by using
reference points from
certain sources and
then recorded for use
in measurement
results.
Measurement Phase
The algorithm created
on the computer
during the project,
reads the given and
received heat
values and processes
them in the system.
Result Phase
Accepted
values are
recorded by
processing with the
form on the system
and can be taken
as a graph.
