Forced convection heat transfer experimental apparatus
This study examines the theory of heat transfer due to forced convection and various formulas related to forced convection in pipes. The apparatus consists of an electric fan, a heater-equipped copper pipe covered with insulation, a measuring display, and a control panel. The air drawn in by the fan and flow control valve enters the test copper pipe (with an inner diameter of 32mm) through an orifice. The air, heated by the heater, is discharged outside while passing through each measurement point. The control panel is equipped with four sets of manometers to measure the pressure loss of the fan, orifice flow rate, pressure loss in the copper pipe, and the differential pressure of the Pitot tube. Additionally, a temperature switch displays the temperatures from 14 thermocouples installed at various points on the copper pipe. The thermocouples are installed at seven locations on the outer surface of the copper pipe, three locations on the outer surface of the insulation pipe, and three locations on the inner surface of the insulation pipe. A Pitot tube with thermocouples is also included to measure the velocity distribution in the cross-section of the copper pipe. To avoid overheating, the heater is designed to stop when the air is not flowing as specified.
