MANUFACTURING EXPERIMENTAL EQUIPMENT TO DETERMINE COEFFICIENTS IN STANDARD EQUATIONS OF STABLE FORCED CONVECTION IN TUBES

Abstract

Standard equations describe the relationship between similar criteria, which is characteristic of convective heat transfer used to determine α as a heat radiation coefficient. In the curriculum of Thermal Engineering, the contents of convective heat transfer mainly focus on similar criteria and common standard equations. Little is reserved for intensive training in similar criteria and ways to build up standard equations for heat radiation. Consequently, students fail to grasp the core as well as experimental ways to establish standard equations. This article presents ways of manufacturing experimental equipment to determine heat radiation coefficients for a model of stable forced convection and in-tube flows, as well as ways to conduct and process experimental results..
