Computerized Parallel flow & Counter flow Heat exchanger

Description

The apparatus consists of a concentric tube heat exchanger. The hot fluid (Hot water) is obtained from an electric geyser and it is made to flow through the inner tube. The cold fluid (cold or ambient temperature water) is made to flow through the outer tube. When the cold fluid and the hot fluid is made to pass in the same direction, the process is called parallel flow, when the cold fluid and the hot fluid is made to flow in opposite direction the process is called counter flow. Temperatures at the inlet and outlet of the fluids are measured using thermocouples and are connected to a digital temperature indicator.

Experiments you can perform

1. Determine the overall heat transfer coefficient in parallel-flow and counter-flow arrangements
2. Determine and compare the LMTD and effectiveness of parallel-flow and counter-flow operation
