    Experiments in heat transfer classes reinforce principles taught in lectures by having students apply them to physical systems. This helps students better understand the principles. Students also learn to use instruments to measure physical quantities and analyze experimental data. Heat transfer processes can be studied experimentally or theoretically. Experiments use actual physical systems but are time-consuming and expensive, while theories use analytical or computational models which are faster but require validating results. Both approaches are useful, with experiments validating theoretical models.

    The role of experimentation in the teaching of subjects such as Heat Transfer


    is well established. Properly designed experiments reinforce the teaching of basic
    principles taught in lecture classes and help students to understand these principles
    more thoroughly. There are other advantages too: students learn to use basic
    instruments and get acquainted with the method used to measure various physical
    quantities; they also study techniques of analyzing experimental data and
    presenting them in a proper form.
    Experimental vs. Theoretical studies: A heat transfer process or equipment
    can be studied either experimentally or theoretically. The experimental approach
    has the advantages that we deal with actual physical system (or an equivalent
    scaled down model), and the desired quantity is obtained by measurement as
    accurately as possible within the limits of the measurement technique.
    However,this approach can be time consuming expensive and often impossible.
    For example, the system under consideration may not be existing at the design
    stage, or may deal with hazardous substances and hence measurement approach
    will not be practical at all. The theoretical approach includes analytical approach
    (for simple and linear problems) and computational modeling (for more complex
    and non-linear problems). Computational modeling has the advantage that it is fast
    and inexpensive, but the results obtained must be examined for numerical accuracy
    and the validity of the assumptions made in the analysis. The development of
    advanced computational tools in heat transfer and the increase in computing power
    has contributed immensely to the feasibility of solving realistic engineering
    problems. With modeling the lead time in design and development of equipment
    can be considerably reduced. Experiments still need to be performed for validating
    the model outputs, but the number of experiments to be performed can be
    considerably reduced.
