Computerized Heat Transfer in Forced Convection Apparatus

Description

The apparatus consists of a blower to supply air. The air from the blower passes through a flow passage, heater and then to the test section. Airflow is measured by an orifice meter placed near the test section. A band heater is placed around the tube, the heater heats the air which is flowing inside the tube and the heat input can be controlled using a Variac provided on the panel. Temperature of the air at the inlet, outlet and surface temperatures of the test specimen are measured using thermocouples and are indicated with the help of a temperature indicator. A bypass valve at the discharge of the blower is provided to conduct the experiments in different Reynolds numbers.

Experiments you can perform

1. Determine the convective heat transfer coefficient for a horizontal pipe through which air flows under forced convection
2. Find the theoretical heat transfer for the above condition and to compare with the experimental value
