EXPERIMENTATION:
- To study of temperature distribution along the length of fin in both natural & forced convections.
DESCRIPTION:‑
- Fins are used at various places to provide heat conducting surface to reduce the temperature of attached surface. The apparatus is designed to study the heat transfer in a pin type fin.
- The apparatus consists of pin type fin fitted induct on suction side of blower. Duct is provided with bell mouth entrance. One end of fin is heated by heater and heat flows to the another end. Orifice is fitted on delivery side of blower to measure the air flow rate. Heat input and temperature distribution along the fin is measured on control panel.
FEATURES:‑
- Fin of brass materials is provided
- Five thermocouples to determine the temperature distribution along the length of fin.
- A range of experiments in both natural and forced convection.
Complete panelized instruments for electrical control and measurements.
