Free and Forced Convection
- A bench mounted unit specifically
designed to demonstrate the phenomena of free and forced convection and
to measure temperature profiles from three different heat transfer
surfaces
- Comprises of a vertical air duct, with a
transparent front for visibility mounted on a fan at the base of the
duct, three heat transfer surfaces, airflow, and temperature probes
- Technical data is included for each of
the three heat transfer surfaces, which will enable students and
researchers to compare practical results with theoretical analysis for
free and forced convection
- Three heat transfer surfaces supplied:
- a flat plate surface area 0.011m2
- pinned extended surface area 0.0525m2
- finned extended surface area 0.1414m2
- Vertical duct incorporates a
transparent front wall allowing complete visualisation of the process
and identification of the airflow and temperature sensors
- Each heat transfer surface is fitted with its own heater (240W) and thermocouples, to allow for easy interchange
- All heat transfer surfaces incorporate guards to allow safe use outside of the duct for performing free convection experiments
Technical Details:
This unit consists of a bench mounted
vertical air duct postitioned on the top of a centrifugal fan. The air
duct incorporates an aperture positioned at the rear wall of the duct,
into which three different types of heat transfer surfaces can be
inserted. The three types of heat exchanger supplied are; flat plate,
cylindrical pins and finned surface. The unit incorporates an electrical
heating element, with positive thermal cut-out, and thermocouples for
precise temperature measurement. The clamping mechanism ensures accurate
alignment of the surface inside the duct.
