    This experiment aims to determine the heat transfer coefficient for forced convection through tubes in a bank. The apparatus includes a heated surface with temperature sensors, a fan, and indicators to measure temperature and power. The procedure involves measuring the inlet and outlet air temperatures and surface temperatures of the heated tubes. Data will be analyzed to determine the heat transfer coefficient, its variation with velocity, and system efficiency against velocity at constant power. Questions address how results may change with tube configuration, flow properties, convection types, and temperature measurement methods.
