main purpose of the experiment is to investigate heat transfer processes using the tubular heat exchanger which is a specific type of heat exchangers. Moreover‚ the primary goals are to compare the two types of flow cases‚ co-current flow and countercurrent flow as well as taking the analyses of their temperature changes through the graphical curves and observing the heat transmission via the operating apparatus. The working principles of the tubular heat exchanger is analyzed and the fluid temperate

faster they’re vibrating around‚ the hotter the object feels. We can sidestep this molecular picture by dealing with objects as a whole‚ and treating the energy transfer as the flow of heat‚ rather than kinetic energy transfer among particles. |Specific Heat for Various Materials | |Material |Specific Heat | | |(J/kg C°) | |Water |4186 | |Aluminum

Heat and Temperature Heat is often described by the average individual as being the change in temperature from hot to cold. “Often the concepts of heat and temperature are thought to be the same‚ but they are not.” Heat and Temperature‚ para. 2) Perhaps the reasoning behind the incorrect reasoning is that humans associate the two together because when heat is applied to an object the temperature rises. The kinetic theory of matter better explains the underlying cause as to what takes place

Introduction Specific heat is defined as the measure of the ability of a substance to change temperature. Specific heat of a substance is the heat needed to change the temperature of 1 gram of a substance once degree Celsius. The more Joules (unit of heat) needed‚ the higher the specific heat will be. The goal is to determine specific heat of a soil sample as compared to water. This difference has many ramifications regarding our climate‚ with local and global. Hypothesis I predict that after

To investigate the efficiency of the heat exchanger in parallel and counter flow arrangements 1.0 INTRODUCTION A heat exchanger is equipment in which heat exchange takes place between 2 fluids that enter and exit at different temperatures. The main function of heat exchanger is to either remove heat from a hot fluid or to add heat to the cold fluid. The direction of fluid motion inside the heat exchanger can normally categorised as

conducted to find the specific heat of a metal as well as the heat of solution of a solid. Both experiments required the use of calorimetry to measure heat flow and temperature change. The specific heat of the metal was found by heating it in boiling water before transferring it to the calorimeter that was partially filled with water. After shaking the calorimeter‚ the temperature change was measured and recorded. This information was used to calculate the specific heat. The heat of solution of a solid

Forced Convection (in a cross flow heat exchanger) Summary The aim of this lab is to determine the average convective heat transfer coefficient for forced convection of a fluid (air) past a copper tube‚ which is used as a heat transfer model. Introduction The general definition for convection may be summarized to this definition "energy transfer between the surface and fluid due to temperature difference" and this energy transfer by either forced (external‚ internal

A heat detector is a fire alarm device designed to respond when the convected thermal energy of a fire increases the temperature of a heat sensitive element. The thermal mass and conductivity of the element regulate the rate flow of heat into the element. All heat detectors have this thermal lag. Heat detectors have two main classifications of operation‚ "rate-of-rise" and "fixed temperature." |Contents | |
