4, EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS:
94.1. Experimental Setup
Experimental setup consists of a concentric double pipe heat exchanger as shown in
Fig. 16.17. The hot fluid is hot water, obtained from electric geyser and it flows through inner
copper tube while cold water flows in annular space formed between inner and outer tuibe
The outer tube is provided with adequate insulation to minimise the heat loss to the surround

5.9, EPILOGUE
Heat transfer rate in forced convection is more than natural convection. As flow rate of
fluid increases, the value of heat transfer coefficient also increases, Further, due to decrease in
fluid density with the temperature rise, the turbulence increases in the flow, which causes a0
jncrease in heat transfer coefficient.
