GUNT convective heat transfer during pipe flow is determined by internal flow processes inside the tube and by heat conduction processes in the tube walls. This experimental unit enables the study of convective heat transfer on the pipe wall and inside the pipe of a tubular heat exchanger. Both parallel flow and counterflow mode with their different temperature curves are demonstrated in experiments.
Product Features
- Double tube serves as the heat exchanger with hot water pumped through the inner tube and cold water flowing in the outer tube.
- Demonstrates both parallel flow and counterflow with respective temperature profiles.
- Temperature measurements taken at inlet, outlet, and mid-section in both tubes for detailed thermal analysis.
- Tube wall temperature measurement on the inner tube enables investigation of convective heat transfer.
- Closed hot water circuit includes tank, electrical heater, and pump for constant operation.
- Cold water supplied and disposed of via laboratory network with flow rate adjustable by valves.
- Flow rate and relevant temperatures are recorded and displayed on the experimental unit.
Benefits
- Allows practical insight into convective heat transfer phenomena in pipe flow.
- Supports comparison of thermal characteristics between parallel and counterflow operation.
- Facilitates accurate measurement and analysis of temperature and flow rate data.
