Expt. ##: Performance study of heat exchanger

Expt. ##: Performance study of heat exchanger

Aim: To study the performance of pipe-in-pipe (double-pipe) heat exchanger (co current
arrangement)
Apparatus required: Test-rig, rotameter, temperature sensor & display unit
Procedure:
1. Set the temperature of cold and hot water tanks
2. Set the flow rates
3. Wait until steady state temperatures are attained
4. Measure the temperatures at various locations in both the pipes
5. Change the flow rates (go to Step: 2) and repeat the experiment
Measurements:
Inner and outer pipe dimensions:
