HEAT TRANSFER IN NATURAL CONVECTION

PRODUCT DETAILS

Description

The present set-up is designed to study the heat transfer in natural convection. It consists of a vertical test pipe with an electric heating element fitted in a rectangular duct.The duct having acrylic front side for the visualization of vertical tube, is open at the top andbottom and forms an enclosure that serves the purpose of undisturbed surrounding. The heat is lost from the tube to the surrounding air by natural convection. It is polished to minimize the radiation losses. The temperature is measured by temperature sensors and displayed. Variac is provided to set the heat input, voltmeter &amemeter is provided for measurement of heat input
