DESCRIPTION
The Fluid Science range is an innovative suite of products designed to enable students to gain an understanding of the fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics and Thermo Fluids by the process of learning via hands-on experimentation.
The high precision elements are supplied as modular tray-based systems which operate in conjunction with the Fluid Science service unit, multifunctional work panel and instrumentation enabling the student to conduct their own individual or group experiments.
The experiments are supplied with a highly visual user-friendly operational guide, allowing the students to understand the theory of the subject by the application of practical experimentation.
The FS-3.3 Fluid Science Cross Flow Heat Exchanger tray includes experimentation to demonstrate indirect heating or cooling by transfer of heat from hot water to air (fluid to air heat transfer) in a cross flow heat exchanger.
The tray introduces students to concepts such as heat transfer coefficients, thermal resistances, controlling resistance and heat transfer driving forces. The heat exchanger can be used in a co-current or counter-current configuration.
EXPERIMENTAL CONTENT
- To demonstrate indirect heating or cooling by transfer of heat from hot water to air
- To perform an energy balance across the cross flow heat exchanger
- To calculate the overall heat transfer coefficient for a cross flow heat exchanger
- To investigate the effect of changes in the water flow rate on the temperature efficiencies and overall heat transfer coefficients
