Working Principle
Forced convection occurs when fluid motion is induced externally, increasing the heat transfer rate compared to natural convection. The Heat Transfer in Forced Convection apparatus demonstrates this principle through:
-
Blower-Induced Airflow: The blower unit generates controlled airflow over the test pipe.
-
Uniform Heating: Nichrome wire heater provides constant heat flux along the pipe surface.
-
Temperature Measurement: Sensors embedded in the pipe and airflow monitor surface and air temperatures.
-
Flow Measurement: The orifice connected to the blower measures the airflow rate accurately.
-
Data Acquisition: Digital Ammeter and Voltmeter, along with the variac, allow precise measurement and control of heating power.
This setup ensures accurate and repeatable experimental results, making it ideal for laboratory studies and industrial research.
