    Heat exchangers are devices used to transfer heat energy from one fluid to another. The energy flow is between hot and cold streams, with hot stream in the bigger diameter tube. Heat transfer mode is by convection on the inside as well as outside of the inner tube and by conduction across the tube. Since the heat transfer occurs across the smaller tube, it is this internal surface which controls the heat transfer process.

    HEAT TRANSFER IN LAMINAR FLOW

    Heat Transfer & Metrology Lab


    Name : Anil Chejara Roll No. : 9003022 Group : 5

    BACKGROUND: Heat Exchangers are devices used to transfer heat energy from one fluid to another. The energy flow is between hot and cold streams, with hot stream in the bigger diameter tube. Heat transfer mode is by convection on the inside as well as outside of the inner tube and by conduction across the tube. Since the heat transfer occurs across the smaller tube, it is this internal surface which controls the heat transfer process. Let the outer surface, termed Ao, of this central tube which is referred to in describing heat exchanger area. Applying the principles of thermal resistance,

    The flow inside is considered to be Laminar One which means that the it is a kind of ordered flow along a parallel Filament like streams. The following Sider Tate equation can be used,

    AIM: To determine the overall heat transfer coefficient making use of logarithmic mean temperature difference. From overall heat transfer coefficient, determine the individual film heat transfer coefficient and verify the Seider-Tate equation for laminar flow heat transfer. APPRATUS: Stainlees steel double pipe along with facility to measure inlet and outlet temperature, a stainless steel tank heater, hot fluid pump with speed variation, cold fluid pump with speed variation, a flow meter, a stop watch, a measuring tank, etc. PROCEDURE: First of all make sure the valve at the bottom tank of measuring tank is open. Connect the system to the power supply. Now set the temperature of the hot fluid at 85C. Switch on the power supply to the hot fluid circulation pump and slowly increse its speed till a certain value. Switch on the cold fluid circulation pump and set it to a certain discharge rate (LPM). Note down the flow rate of hot fuild using the stop watch and the measuring tank. Note the inlet and outlet temperature of both hot and cold fluid. Now change the volume flow of the hot fluid and repeat the step 5.

    OBSERVATIONS: Inside diameter of the inner tube(d1) Outside diameter of the inner tube(d2) = 1 cm = 1.27 cm

    CONCLUSION: The plot obtained is not linear due to experimental errors. When the flow rate is increasing then heat transfer decreases between fluids. Sider-Tate equation has been verified with the plot within the experimental error limits. Overall heat transfer coefficient decrease with decrease in the flow rate.

    ASSUMPTION: The specific heats are constant for both the fluids during heat transfer. No heat loss through convection and radition. Constant power is supplied by fluid heater. The flow rate is constant for a particular flow rate.
