The device comprises of two tubes that are closely spaced. Hot water travels through a copper tube in the inner tube. While cold water is forced through GI pipe in the outer tube. The configuration allows the cold water to flow both parallel and anticlockwise. The flow measurement, inlet and output temperatures, and the LMTD of the heat transferred provide information on the efficiency of the apparatus.
Experimental Objectives
To study the effect of mode of operation (counter or co-current flow) on the thermal efficiency and the overall heat transfer coefficient in a concentric tube heat exchanger.
To study the effect of flow rates of hot and cold fluids on the thermal efficiency and the overall heat transfer coefficient in a concentric tube heat exchanger.
