Free and forced convection

Convection is a material-bound heat transport form where fluid is in motion. This unit investigates heat transfer in an air duct using different heating element geometries to study both free and forced convection.

• investigation of forced and free convection in an air duct
• axial fan with continuously adjustable power
• 4 heating elements with different geometries
• integrated microprocessor-based instrumentation
• software for system operation, data acquisition, and E-learning
• network capability for observation from multiple workstations
