heat exchanger
Procedure :
1. .Water supply was turned on
2. Heat exchanger was set Up for parallel flow condition .
3. The electrical supply switch was Set on the On position .
4. the temperature controller was Set to C.
5. the cold water control valves were Opened and set the flow as
desired .
6. the cold water control valves were Opened and set the flow as
desired .
7. After conditions have stabilized , records the data .
8. The heat exchanger was Set Up for counter flow conditions .
9. Repeat steps ( 3 - 7 ) .

: Discussion
1-Qc & Qh are increases as the flow rate increase .
2- U increase as the Qc increase.
3-Qmax increase as the dt increase
:Conclusions
The heat exchanger apparatus follows the basic laws of .1
.thermodynamics and this can be shown experimentally
From all of the parallel flow configurations, the exit .2
temperature of the hot fluid is always hotter than the exit
.temperature of the cold fluid
: Recommendation
Make sure that there is no leaking in the unit pipes for more .1
.accurate readings and no heat loss in the operation
Wait the unit so reach steady state before you read the .2
temperature from the thermometer
