Forced Convection From Horizontal Cylinder Apparatus

This apparatus is used to find out the surface heat transfer coefficient for a horizontal pipe flowing heat by forced convection to air flowing through it for different air flow rates and heat flow rate.

Experimental Setup consisting of:

• Horizontal pipe of internal dia 25mm and length 300mm
• Blower with orifice plate of dia. 15mm and manometer for flow measurement.
• Long type heater on test section.
• Set of Thermocouple - 6 Nos.

Control Panel consisting of:

• 6 Channels Digital Temp. Indicator range: 0-300^oC
• Dimmerstat: 0-2A / 230V
• Mains ON/OFF switch
• Air Blower
• Digital Voltmeter 0-100/250V
• Digital Ammeter 0-2 A
