Convective heat transfer in air flow

This unit investigates the transfer of heat between a surface and a fluid. It supports experiments on both forced convection (using a fan) and free convection (chimney effect), determined by density differences in the heated fluid.

• air duct with streamlined inlet and observation windows
• replaceable tube bundle with two different tube diameters
• heating elements (° 10mm or ° 13mm) can be positioned as desired
• demonstration of the chimney effect and free convection
• movable Pitot tube for velocity profile determination
• display of air and heating temperatures and heating power
