Experiment description
The experiments aim to calculate the heat transfer coefficients h of forced convection for a
heated cylinder under cross air flow, and compare with that obtained from theoretical formula
with empirical corrections. Experimental h can be computed based on power delivered to the
heater, area of heat transfer and the temperature difference. To compare that with the
theoretical model, Nusselt numbers using experimental data and theoretical model are
calculated and plotted as a function of Reynolds numbers. From here h from both models can be
obtained and compared at each Re number.
Pre-laboratory problems:
1).
Forced convection: fluid movement caused by external forces such as a fan, pump, wind, ect.
Natural convection: fluid movement caused by its own density differences within the fluid body,
leading to buoyancy forces acting on fluid elements.

Discussion and conclusion
From both sets of experiments, both experimental and theoretical Nusselt number follow a
linear relation with the Reynolds number. The experimental Nu graph is consistently higher but
closed to the theoretical values. The discrepancy between them could have been due to
experimental errors. For instance the power delivered by the electrical source to the cylindrical
heater may be less than what indicated from the voltmeter, possibly due to internal resistance
of the instrument causing heat loss. This makes the calculated heat transfer coefficient

consistently higher than its actual value and hence higher experimental �̅�𝑢. However the
experimental model to calculate average Nusselt number is still within good range of agreement
with the theoretical model.
