    This document describes an experiment to determine heat transfer coefficients in a packed bed. The apparatus includes a packed bed column with hot and cold water inlet valves. Temperature and flow rate data is collected as the hot and cold water flows through the packed bed. Heat transfer equations are provided to calculate the overall heat transfer coefficient based on the log mean temperature difference and the individual heat transfer coefficients inside and outside the packed bed based on properties like Reynolds and Prandtl numbers. Calculations are performed to determine the heat transfer coefficients from the experimental data.

    HEAT TRANSFER IN PACKED BED

    AIM:

    To determine individual and overall heat transfer coefficients for heat transfer in packed
    bed

    APPARATUS:

    Experimental setup, Stop watch and Thermometer.

    INTRODUCTION:

    Many important process require contact between a gas or a liquid stream and solid particles.
    These processes include catalytic reactors, grain dryers, beds for storage of solar thermal energy,
    regenerators etc. Also packed columns find extensive application in absorption and extraction
    operations.

    Packed column increases the contact area and there by increases the heat transfer rate. Usually
    the columns are filled with randomly oriented packing but some cases the packings may be
    regular or structured. The prinicipal requirements for the packings are 1) they must be
    chemically inert to the fluids in the tower and 2) it must provide good contact. The heat transfer
    coefficient for a packed bed are high when the ratio of packing diameters, dp to the tower
    diameters, Di is about 0.15 to 0.3.

    Some types of tower packings are berl saddles, Rashing rings, Ball rings, Spherical and
    Cylindrical pellets. The packings can made of ceramics steel or plastic materials.

    PROCEDURE

    Fill the hot water tank with water. Switch on the heater and maintain the hot water temperature at
    a particular value say 60oC. Start the hot water pump. Open the hot water inlet valve and adjust
    the flow rate. Open the cold water inlet valve. Note down both the cold water and hot water flow
    rates. After attaining steady state, note the inlet and outlet temperatures of both cold and hot
    water flow rates. Take the readings for different cold and hot water flow rates.
