ABSTRACT-
The objective of this experiment is to find the main contributors to heat transfer in the system. Water is
heated and the energy is transferred in two ways throughout the system. The system is run for a period of 30
minutes, in both free and forced convection. The heat produced by the boiler will remain constant throughout the
experiment and the actual energy gathered will be a result of the condensed water captured in the three different
vessels. The theoretical and experimental data was determined through measurements taken in the experiment
by thermocouple, scale and water drainage for the forced and free convection trials. The steam condensed on the
outer surface of the inner tube as well as the inner surface of the outer tube. When theoretical values for forced
convection were calculated (284KJ) was compared to the 220 KJ for the experimental values, roughly 25% error
was experienced.

INTRODUCTION-
The experimental system uses a boiler which supplies heat to the water to create steam. Heat is lost in the
system and calculations are shown later in the report to analyze this for the two trials in the experiment, forced
and free convection.
Convection refers to the transfer of thermal energy in the means of diffusion. As a fluid moves around the
boundaries of an object, with a given velocity, an amount of heat energy will be transferred. It is used in many
processes, such as cooling a circuit board or keeping a room cool during a hot summer. The fluid, which comes in
at a certain temperature, will experience the change in temperature. The object is being cooled while the fluid
keeps flowing. This process repeats over and over again, keeping the object at a desired temperature.
A reservoir in the system was adjusted between forced and free convection levels. This means that the
pressure head is being changed. The forced convection setup creates a pressure head capable of moving water
through the system with a velocity. The free convection setup does not circulate as much new water into the
system. The forced convection setup results in an increase in dissipated heat in the exiting of the fluid into the
drainage tank. This results in a larger total heat transfer for the forced convection than the free convection.
In the next section of the report the procedure used to complete the actual experiment is shown. After
that a general understanding of the equations and methodology used will be explained. Finally, a series of sample
calculations are shown that show how achieving the hc = convection heat transfer coefficient was possible and
what conclusions can be made through these results.

Methodology & Experimental System-
The equipment used for this experiment is basically one piece equipment which includes different
components. An electric boiler is the driving force of the experiment. The boiler is set to a constant output (1100
watts) and as a result it heats the water and turns it into steam. This steam is fed into a condensing tower. This
tower is comprised of a closed jacket and a central single aluminum tube. Cooling water passes upward though the
inside of this condenser tube, causing the steam to condense on the outside surface. Steam also condenses on the
inside surface of the jacket as heat escapes out into the room. A boiler supply tank is used to provide and maintain
a constant level in the boiler this insures that the mass within the system remains constant during the experiment
(glass tube). Cooling water is provided by reservoir that allows the experiment to be performed with either free or
forced convection. All the copper-constantan (type T) thermocouples are monitored using a high impedance
millivoltmeter. Tube wall and shell wall condensates are collected separately from drain tubes provided, and
cooling water flow through the condenser tube is collected in the weigh tank mounted on the scale.
When performing the experiment many water levels needed to remain constant in the system. The group
members were given different responsibilities such as, maintaining the glass tube water height, maintaining
reservoir height (forced/free setting), as well as keeping track of the start and finish water levels.

Theory-
When analyzing convection heat transfer coefficients, three dimension-less values must be acquired. To
determine what numerous constants are the initial conditions must be known so tables can be utilized.
Nusselt Number:
Prandtl Number:
Grashoff Number:
Reynolds number, for internal flow, is obtained by the following equation:
These equations are crucial to calculate to determine what type of flow exists in the system. In order to use the
correct heat transfer equation the type of flow must be known to be laminar or turbulent.
Types of Convection observed-
Forced convection occurs when the fluid flows across the boundary of an object, with the movement
caused by external forces. Heat transfer coefficient for the forced convection depends on the relationship between
Nusselt number, Prandtl number and the Grashoff number acquired for free convection. The relationship is
expressed in the following equation:

Free convection occurs when the fluid is allowed to flow by means of buoyancy forces. This convection
method occurs when the temperature differences exist between the two ends of the air. When the end part
touching the hot object contacts the object, the fluid becomes warmer and less dense. The air moves up and the
colder air moves in to replace the warmer air. The combination of the variables in order to obtain the heat transfer
coefficient for the free convection process is:
Heat transfer in condensation, because a phase change is involved, requires complex analysis.
Condensation takes place when vapor is cooled down. Once this occurs, heat is transferred in a
fundamentally different manner than when heat is added or taken away from a fluid without such phase
change. When vapor is condensed, it lets go of considerable amounts of energy. The condensed fluid
becomes a barrier, in the form of a liquid film which either completely or partially covers the cooler
surface. If the drainage of the fluid is done from vertical or inclined surface, the drainage will be naturally
faster than a horizontal surface. The film will be thinner. If the vertical height is great, the accumulation of
condensate fluid at the lower portion of the surface will thicken the film and make the lower portion less
effective than the upper transmitting heat.
In order to acquire an even more accurate result, the heat transfer that occurs when heat is released
during the condensation of the vapor must also be taken into account. This value can be easily calculated by
obtaining the latent heat of vaporization value. Nevertheless, as the condensate is cooled below Tsat, the equation
must be modified to:

In order to determine the heat transferred amount, two equations are needed. The equations will take
into account the gains and losses in the system. The first equation needed is the heat transferred from the steam,
which is expressed as follows:

The second equation needed is the heat transfer that occurs in the water. The equation is expressed in the

Therefore, in order to acquire the total amount of heat transferred, the two equations must be combined.

In order to find the heat transfer coefficient, the transfer heat amount must be obtained. Further, the
resistance must be taken into account. The resistance value will give us the rate at which the heat is being
transferred, which will symbolize the overall heat transfer coefficient.

When all the data was collected the heat transfer coefficient was able to be solved for. Based on our data
between the time period of 10 and 15 minutes the heat transferred for the free convection was 186.5 KJ while for
forced it was 220 KJ. Through the theory that was previously talked about it would be a logical hypothesis to
assume that the forced convection would have a greater heat transferred. This is because a fluid is being forced

through having a flow rate that is constantly implementing new cooler fluid to the system. Therefore, the new
fluid has a greater difference in temperature and creates a greater heat transfer.

Conculsion-
The steam condensed on the outer surface of the inner tube as well as the inner surface of the outer tube.
This was the primary mode of heat transfer in the experiment. The empirically calculated results varied by roughly
25% when compared to the experimentally calculated results. This can be attributed to the experimental
methods. The experiment had its downfalls that could have poorly affected our results and therefore, our
calculations. The measurement system of filling up beakers seemed fairly unreliable. Since the trials were 30
minutes long often times the beakers would become full and require emptying, in which water was not being
caught and mass was lost. In addition, there was pressure accumulating inside of the cylinder itself that was not
accounted for. This pressure was assumed to be atmospheric when in reality it was probably higher.
