What is Heat Transfer in Agitated Vessels?

An agitated vessel contains a liquid that is continuously stirred with an impeller while heat is applied or removed via a heating or cooling jacket. Agitation improves fluid homogeneity and enhances convective heat transfer.

The Heat Transfer in Agitated Vessel Unit allows laboratory users to:

• Study how agitation affects heat transfer rates

• Observe temperature distribution in stirred fluids

• Analyze the impact of impeller speed on thermal efficiency

• Understand time-dependent heating or cooling of liquids

This unit is perfect for academic labs, research facilities, and industrial training setups.

Product Specifications

The equipment is engineered to provide reliable and repeatable experimental results, ensuring long-term durability.

Working Principle

The unit operates on convective heat transfer in stirred fluids:

1. Heating/Cooling: The jacket circulates hot or cold fluid to provide thermal input or removal.

2. Agitation: The impeller mixes the liquid to maintain uniform temperature throughout.

3. Temperature Monitoring: Sensors measure real-time temperature changes.

4. Analysis: Data is used to calculate overall heat transfer coefficients, thermal efficiency, and energy transfer rates.

By adjusting impeller speed and temperature, users can study the relationship between mixing intensity and heat transfer efficiency.
