Heat transfer in turbulent

flow

CL - 232
 Aim

To determine
• the overall heat transfer coefficient
&
• the individual film transfer coefficient
and verify Dittus-Boelter equation
 Apparatus

• Double pipe heat exchanger

• Stainless steel tank
• Circulation pump for hot &
cold fluid
 Procedure

• Switch on the heater of hot fluid tank

• Keep the flow rate of cold fluid constant

• Adjust the flow rate of hot fluid

• Once steady state is reached note down the inlet and outlet
temperatures of hot and cold fluid.

• Repeat the experiment for at least six different flow rates of

hot fluid.
 Theory

Overall resistance = sum of resistances in series

• Dittus-Boelter equation
