Working Principle of Finned Tube Heat Exchanger Unit

The unit operates on conduction and convection heat transfer principles:

1. Fluid Flow: One fluid flows through the tube while another flows across the fins.

2. Heat Transfer: Thermal energy is transferred efficiently from the fluid to the surrounding medium via the finned surface.

3. Temperature Measurement: Sensors monitor inlet, outlet, and surface temperatures.

4. Performance Analysis: Experimental data is used to calculate overall heat transfer coefficient, effectiveness, and efficiency.

By varying fluid flow rates, temperatures, and fin arrangements, users can simulate real-world industrial heat exchanger scenarios.

Experiments Performed

• Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient Measurement: Calculate thermal efficiency of the finned tube.

• Temperature Profile Analysis: Study temperature changes along the tube and fin surface.
