CHE 381 Lecture Notes - Lecture 23: Surface Condenser, Safety Data Sheet, Tachometer
Document Summary
The purpose of this lab is to examine the dependence of the heat transfer coefficient on temperature, impeller speed, fluid temperature and pressure, and the presence of baffles. Using an apparatus with a tank that contains an agitator, our team will experimentally derive the heat transfer coefficient: experimental. An enclosure around the tank that contains the flowing steam. A jacketed vessel with recirculation stream and internal cooling coil. A tubing inside the tank that contains the flowing cold water. An agitator that stirs the liquid in the tank for mixing. Temperature gauges at various locations that indicate the temperature of the flowing fluids. A shell and tube heat transfer unit that exchanges heat between the hot and cold streams. Tubing structure that transports the fluid through the unit. A device that recirculates the fluids though the unit. Controls the flow of fluids through the system. Material surrounding the tank to prevent heat loss or gain.
