Cross Flow Heat Exchanger Experiment By Andres Rodriguez Abstract The design project of the group was to create an experiment for Thermo/Fluids Laboratory. The experiment will help aide the students in relating pressure drop and heat transfer in a cross flow heat exchanger. The experiment consists of three cross flow heat exchangers (bare inline‚ bare staggered‚ and finned staggered) that will cool hot water with current fan in the Laboratory. Optimal flow rates‚ pressure and temperature

Beat the heat with aircon repair Summer times can be difficult to manage in the hot regions and this calls for a nice chilled breeze of the air conditioner. While this may be the best prospect at this time‚ the problem comes with the appliance itself. Air conditioners just like any other electronic appliance are prone to problems and malfunctions. The malfunctions in this case can be quite bad considering how complicated the appliance is and this means that it requires professional help and not a

Conclusions The purpose of this experiment was to find the relationship between a substance’s specific heat and its atomic weight. In the lab‚ the substances with the higher atomic weights had less specific heat. From this‚ we can conclude that specific heat and atomic weight have an inverse relationship‚ meaning as one decreases the other increases. The reason for this is because if atoms are small‚ or light‚ they have the ability to pack tightly together‚ leaving almost no space between them

Title: Specific Heat Capacities of Metals Experiment Date: 3/28/2012 Report Date: 4/4/2012 Purpose: The purpose of the lab is to measure the specific heat capacities of aluminum‚ steel and brass. Theory: The amount of heat (ΔQ) required to change the temperature of an object is proportional to the mass (m) of the object and the temperature change (ΔT) of the object. ΔQ= cmΔT where c is called as the specific heat capacity of the material. In the calorie units system the unit of quantity

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

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

Aim: i) To find the relationship between supplied energy and change in temperature of water. ii) To find the specific heat capacity (SHC) of water. Hypothesis: As time increases so does the temperature since the water is exposed to the heated wire for a longer period of time. Variables: The Dependent Variable is the temperature of the water‚ and since the Energy is calculated using temperature it is a dependent variable as well. The constant variables are the voltage and current. Theory:

Heat Stress in the Work Place! Eastern Kentucky University Heat Stress is the exposure to extreme heat or working in hot environments. Workers who are exposed to this may be at risk of heat stress. Heat Stress can result in occupational illnesses and injuries. “Heat stress can result in heat stroke‚ heat exhaustion‚ heat cramps‚ or heat rashes. Heat can also increase the risk of injuries in workers as it may result in sweaty palms‚ fogged-up safety glasses‚ and dizziness. Burns may
