6.0 Data and Results: Ambient Air Temperature (T) 24 °C

The document reports experimental data and results from tests of finned and pinned plate heat exchangers. Tables A and B show the air velocity, heater surface temperature, temperature difference from ambient, and calculated heat transfer coefficient for the finned and pinned plates at different velocities. Sample calculations show how the surface areas and initial heat transfer coefficient were determined from the given measurements and inputs. Graphs plot the surface temperature versus air velocity for each plate type.
