Students conducting heat transfer experiment

This lab supports the experimental activities related to the Heat Transfer course. Students conduct a series of experiments in conduction, convection, and radiation heat transfer. These experiments assist students in applying the theoretical knowledge gained in lecture. ‌Manual and computerized data acquisition devices, along with a variety of heat transfer units are utilized. A set of thermometers (thermocouples, thermistors, and pyrometers), temperature readouts, hot plates, stop watches, specimens, etc. are used to arrange for special setups to study heat transfer processes.

Equipment

  • Two sets of thermometer probes (thermocouples, thermistors, pyrometers) and associated temperature readouts
  • Technovate conduction table (model 9051)
  • Hampden convection heat transfer demonstrator bench (H-6882)
