Discussion
1. The heat transfer coefficient is mathematically the ratio between heat flux and the
change in temperature. Heat flux bring up to the total thermal power per unit area or
instead as the total energy being transferred per unit area that is exposed to heating.
Now as the heat is transferred, this hints to change in temperature. This is the point
where the material crosswise over which the heat is being exchanged is of concern. The
heat won't be exchanged with a similar viability in both brass and steel. The heat
coefficient here separates how much heat vitality control is expected to change the
temperature of the material.
2. In this case, power is directly proportional to heat loss. Higher the power, higher will be
the heat loss. The core heat loss is affected by convention through air gap and nylon
housing. We can presume that the difference between the input power and the rates of
radial heat conduction.
3. Thermal heat conductivity of stainless steel:
KH = 214.73W/moC
KS = 87.89 W/moC
5. Thermal conductivity (λ) is the intrinsic property of a material which relates its ability to
conduct heat. Thermal conductivity of different materials increases with the increase in
temperature. Heat transfer by conduction involves transfer of energy within a material
without any motion of the material as a whole.
6. We cannot say that the values noted from the machine were accurate, because when
the values were fluctuating too much. So there can be some error in the values which
can affect the calculations.
Conclusion
The heat transfer coefficient with be affected by the increase in power, moreover total
heat transfer will decrease. Difference with be there in theoretical and experimental
values of U. it will be different due to the difference in variables in which input power,
area, temperature distance and thermal conductivity are used.
