    Experiment No. (3)


    Experiment Name: forced convection heat transfer.
    Objective: To determine the heat transfer coefficient of forced convection of air
    inside the tube.
    Introduction:
    In many practical situations and equipment’s, we invariably deal with flow
    of fluids in tubes e.g. boiler, super heaters and condensers of a power plants,
    automobile radiators, water and air heaters or coolers etc. The knowledge and
    evolution of forced convection heat transfer coefficient for fluid flow in tubes is
    essentially a prerequisite for an optional design of all thermal system.
    Convection is the transfer of heat within a fluid by mixing of one portion of
    fluid with the other. Convection is possible only in a fluid medium and is directly
    linked with the transport of medium itself.
    In forced convection, fluid motion is principally produced by some
    superimposed velocity fluid like a fan, blower or a pump; the energy transport is
    said due to forced convection.
    Apparatus:
    Shown in the attached figure, part of the devices included in this experiments
    that you are going to deal with are: control panel, blower, test section, heater and
    orrifice.
    Theory and Calculation:
    do: orifice diameter= 30mm
    L: length of the test section =600mm
    C d: Coefficient of discharge=0.68

    ρ a: air density=1.03 kg/m3

    ρ w: water density=1000 kg/m3

    g: Acceleration due to gravity=9.81m/s2

    C p: specific heat of air=1.005 kj/kg

    Do: outer diameter of the pipe= 33mm


    Di: inner diameter of the pipe = 26mm
    h: heat transfer coefficient in W/m2.K
    Ao: area of cross section of orifice in m2
    As: test section surface area in m2
    H: manometer reading in meter
