Author JNEC, Aurangabad

FORWARD

It is my great pleasure to present this laboratory manual for Second year engineering students for the subject of Momentum transfer in view the vast coverage required for visualization of concepts of the subject.

As a student, many of you may be wondering with some of the questions in your mind regarding the subject and exactly what has been tried is to answer through this manual.

As you may be aware that MGM has already been awarded with ISO 9000 certification and it is our endure to technically equip our students taking the advantage of the procedural aspects of ISO 9000 Certification.

Faculty members are also advised that covering these aspects in initial stage itself, will greatly relived them in future as much of the load will be taken care by the enthusiasm energies of the students once they are conceptually clear.

EXPERIMENT NO: IV HEAT TRANSFER THROUGH COMPOSITE WALL

A] Aim: To determine the total thermal resistance and thermal conductivity of a composite wall.

Apparatus: Composite wall consisting of three disks of different materials viz. Cast Iron, Pressed wood and Bakelite. A heating element is sandwiched between two identical sets of composite wall. The disks are kept pressed between two pressure plates with the help of a screw press. Thermocouples are fixed at the center of all the interfaces. The control panel consists of a dimmerstat (for varying the voltage supplied to the heater), a voltmeter, an ammeter and a digital temperature indicator with a selector switch. Procedure: 1) Keep the dimmerstat at lowest position. Switch ON the electric supply. 2) Adjust the dimmerstat to supply a particular voltage to the heating element. 3) Wait for steady state to be attained. 4) Note the temperature indicated by the thermocouples at the outer surfaces and interfaces of the composite wall. 5) Also note the voltage and current supplied to the heating element. Observations: 1. 2. 3. 4.

EXPERIMENT NO: V- THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY OF INSULATING POWDER

A] Aim: To determine the thermal conductivity of an insulating powder.

Apparatus: The apparatus consists of two thin walled concentric copper spheres. The inner sphere houses the heating coil. The insulating powder is packed between the two shells. The power supply to the heating coil is adjustable. Fe-Constantan thermocouples are used to measures the temperatures. Thermocouples 1 to 4 are embedded on the inner surface of the inner sphere and thermocouples 5 to 8 are embedded on the outer shell. Procedure: 1. Keep the dimmerstat at minimum voltage position. Switch ON the electric supply. 2. Adjust the dimmerstat to supply maximum 40W to the heating coil. Maintain this constant throughout the experiment. 3. Wait for steady state to be attained. 4. Note down the reading in the observation table as given below.

Calculations: Assume steady state one-dimensional heat conduction across the wall of a hollow sphere filled with insulating powder packed between the two spheres (in radial direction only). Applying Fouriers law of heat conduction, Q= -k (4 r2) dT/dr Where Q=rate of heat conducted through the hollow sphere, W k= thermal conductivity of insulating powder, W/m K r= radius of spherical layer , m dT/dr= temperature gradient in the radial direction, K/m Integrating between the limits ri and ro and temperature Ti and To, Q= 4 k ri ro (Ti-To)/ (ri - ro)

Where ri = inner radius of inner sphere ro = outer radius of outer sphere Ti= Avg. temperature of inner surface of inner sphere To= Avg. temperature of outer surface of outer sphere Q=V I Ti= (T1+T2+T3+T4)/4 To= (T5+T6+T7+T8)/4 Therefore Thermal conductivity of insulating powder, k= Q (ri - ro)/ [4 ri ro (Ti-To)] Result: The thermal conductivity of insulating powder is..................W/m

EXPERIMENT NO: VI - Heat Transfer In Natural Convection

A] Aim: To determine the average surface heat transfer coefficient in natural convection and compare it with the value obtained by using appropriate correlations.

Apparatus: The apparatus consists of a brass tube fitted in a rectangular duct in a vertical fashion. The duct is open at the top and bottom and forms an enclosure and serves the purpose of undisturbed surrounding. One side of the duct is made up of a transparent material for visualization. An electric heating element is kept in the vertical tube, which in turn heats the tube surface. The heat is lost from the tube to the surrounding air by natural convection. The temperature of the vertical tube is measured by seven thermocouples. The heat input to the heater is measured by an ammeter and a voltmeter and is varied by a dimmerstat. The vertical cylinder with the thermocouple, positions are shown in fig. The tube surface is polished to minimize the radiation losses.

Procedure: 1. Switch ON the electric supply and adjust the dimmerstat to obtain the required heat input (say 40W, 60W, 70W). Note the voltage and current supplied to the heater. 2. Wait till steady state is reached. Which is confirmed from temperature readings (T1 toT7). 3. Note the surface temperature at the seven points viz. T1 to T7 4. Note the ambient temperature, T8 5. Repeat experiment at different heat inputs. (Do not exceed 80 watts). Observations: i. O.D. Cylinder, d=38 mm. ii. Length of cylinder, l=500 mm.

Observation Table: Sr. No. Voltage (V) Current (A) T1 (0C) T2 (0C) T3 (0C) T4 (0C) T5 (0C) T6 (0C) T7 (0C) T8 (0C)

Calculations: a) Actual heat transfer coefficient: Rate of heat transfer, Q=V I watts

Average temperature of surface, Ts= (T1+T2+T3+T4+ T5+T6+T7)/7 Ambient temperature in the duct, Ta= T8 Area of heat transfer, As= d l Q= hactual As (Ts-Ta) Hence hactual= Q/ [As (Ts-Ta)] a) Theoretical heat transfer coefficient: htheoretical is calculated using the appropriate correlation between Nu, Gr and Pr from the data book. (Nu =c (Gr Pr)n

Result: The actual value of heat transfer coefficient value of is found to be ................W/ m2 K4 and the theoretical value of heat transfer coefficient is found to be ...................W/ m2 K4

7. Quiz on the subject: Quiz should be conducted on tips in the laboratory, recent trends and subject knowledge of the subject. The quiz questions should be formulated such that questions are normally are from the scope outside of the books. However twisted questions and self formulated questions by the faculty can be asked but correctness of it is necessarily to be thoroughly checked before the conduction of the quiz. 8. Conduction of Viva-Voce Examinations: Teacher should oral exams of the students with full preparation. Normally, the objective questions with guess are to be avoided. To make it meaningful, the questions should be such that depth of the students in the subject is tested Oral examinations are to be conducted in co-cordial environment amongst the teachers taking the examination. Teachers taking such examinations should not have ill thoughts about each other and courtesies should be offered to each other in case of difference of opinion, which should be critically suppressed in front of the students. 9.

Evaluation and marking system:

Boldnes s ------------------------------------Yes ----Yes -----

Italics -------------------------------------------------------Yes ------

Underline Yes ----------------------------------------Yes --------Yes Yes --------Yes ---------

Capitalize ------------------Capital ---------------------------Capital ---------Capital Capital ----------------------------

Basic honesty in the evaluation and marking system is absolutely essential and in the process impartial nature of the evaluator is required in the examination system to become popular amongst the students. It is a wrong approach or concept to award the students by way of easy marking to get cheap popularity among the students to which they do not deserve. It is a primary responsibility of the teacher that right students who are really putting up lot of hard work with right kind of intelligence are correctly awarded. The marking patterns should be justifiable to the students without any ambiguity and teacher should see that students are faced with unjust circumstances.
