Apparatus that was used for this experiment:
i. Concentric Tube Heat Exchanger.

5.0 PROCEDURE
i. The hot water temperature has been set to between range of 55℃ to 65℃ by
changing the dial and the LED light was automatically off.
ii. The volume flow rate of the hot water had been set to 1000 cm3 min−1 by adjusting the
valve.
iii. The volume flowrate of the cold-water also had been set up to 2 000 cm 3 min−1by using
the valve.
iv. The stopwatch had been started.
v. All the temperature on the board had been recorded after 5 minutes.
vi. Step ii. had been repeated by using different volume flow rate of hot water,
2 000 cm3 min−1, 3 000 cm3 min−1and 4 000 cm3 min−1 by using the valve while the cold-
water volume flowrate remains constant.
vii. Parallel flow data had been recorded.
viii. All the volumetric valve had been turned off.
Figure 1: Valve that were used to change the configuration
of flow from parallel to counter flow.

ix. The valve on the board in Figure X had been configured to counter flow
configuration.
x. Step i. until vi. had been repeated and the counter flow data had been recorded
xi. Parallel flow data and the counter flow data had been tabulated and the heat transfer
coefficient had been calculated for each heat exchanger configuration.
