Description

The Heat transfer from pin fin is designed to study the heat transfer in a pin fin. It consists of pin type fin fitted in a duct. A fan is provided on one side of duct to conduct experiments under forced draft conditions. Air flow rates can be varied. A heater heats one end of fin and heat flows to another end. Heat input to the heater is given through Variac. Digital voltmeter and digital ammeter are provided for heat measurement. Digital Temperature Indicator measures temperature distribution along the fin.

Learning Objectives/Experiments:

• • • To study temperature distribution along the length of fin in both Free forced convection.
    • Comparison of theoretical temperature distribution with that of experimentally obtained distribution.

Technical Specifications:

• • • Fan : Standard make.
    • Heater : Band type, Nichrome Wire.
    • The whole set-up is ingeniously designed and schematically arranged on a powder-coated rigid structure

Control Panel:

• • • Digital Temp. Indicator : 0-300⁰C, with multi-channel switch
    • Temperature Sensors : RTD PT-100 type. 5 for pin and 1 for duct temperature.
    • Standard make On/Off switch, Mains Indicator etc.

Scope of Delivery:

• • • 1 Self Contained “Heat Transfer From A Pin-fin” Apparatus
    • 1 Instruction Manual consisting of experimental procedures, block diagram etc.
