Methodological instructions to the laboratory work "Analysis of the Process of Forced Heat Convection in the Tube Bundle"

Abstract

Acquiring an ability to solve problems regarding forced convection is an important part of studying the discipline "Theoretical Fundamentals of Heat Engineering", as far it is the most abundant mode of heat transfer in all kinds of enginery, power plants, heat exchangers, heat-using devices and facilities. An accepted method of solving of such problems in simplified and generalized form provides for usage of similarity theory. Examination of the process of heat emission of a cylindrical tube in an air flow, and more complicated case of heat emission of a tube bundle, are convenient way to improve knowledge of criterial equation usage and gaining skills of their composing on a base of experimental data. Hence, the goal of the laboratory work is upgrading knowledge of forced convection, becoming familiar with methods of related experimental investigation and criterial equation set-up.
