Heat Transfer in Agitated Vessel Apparatus
The present set-up offers us a comparative study of Jacket & Helical coil, which can be operated simultaneously. It is a stainless steel jacketed vessel with helical coil of copper is fitted inside. A variable speed stirrer is fitted in the vessel. Variation in temperature of inside water is measured and is noted. Set-up is fitted with steam traps for condensate collection. Flow rate of water can be controlled and measured using valve and Rotameter. Temperature of inlet and outlet of both hot & cold fluids are measured by temperature sensors.
EXPERIMENTATION :
- To determine the overall heat transfer co-efficient for various degree of agitation.
- To make a comparative study of Heat Transfer through Jacket & Coil in an agitated vessel.
