    INSTRUCTION MANUAL

    FOR

    HEAT TRANSFER APPARATUS FOR


    CONVECTION

    Manufactured by:
    2

    Objective: To study the working of convection model


    Apparatus: Model of convection model
    Introduction:
    Convective heat transfer is the transfer of heat between two bodies by currents of
    moving gas or fluid. In free convection, air or water moves away from the heated
    body as the warm air or water rises and is replaced by a cooler parcel of air or water..

    Main parts of conduction


    1. Temperature Indicator
    2. on/off switch
    3. Dimmer
    4. Heater
    5. Brass pipe
    6. Temperature Sensor
    3

    Procedure
    1. Start the apparatus
    2. Increase slowly voltage with the help of dimmerstat
    3. Note down the reading of temperature
    Formula used
    Heat transfer rate by convection
    Q= hactual x A .x (Ts-Ta)
    Where A= surface area = πdl
    d= diameter of brass rod
    l= length of brass rod
    Ts= surface temperature
    Ta= Ambient temperature
    h= convective heat transfer coefficient
    hactual =Q/A(Ts-Ta)

    Observation Table

    S.No Q Watt Ta=ambient Ts= surface


    temperature Temperature
    1 120 30.3 67.3

    A= Surface area

    l= 0.3 m

    d= 0.032 m

    A= πdl = 3.14x.032x0.3= 0.03014 m²

    h= w/m²K

    = 107 w/m²K
