ABSTRACTABSTRACT
In the present work the experimental setup for convective heat transfer coefficient of air flowing through a copper tube of circular cross section is fabricated. This setup can be used to find out heat transfer coefficient at different operating conditions.
Using the experimental setup, convective heat transfer coefficient of air passing through circular duct was determined under the following conditions.o By varying heat input.o By varying blower valve position.o By varying inclination of circular duct.
INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTIONHeat transfer is defined as “transmission of energy from one region to another as a result of temperature gradient”.
LITERATURE SURVEYLITERATURE SURVEY Hilpert was one of the earliest researchers in the area of forced convection from heated pipe surfaces. He developed the correlation
Nu= ﴾hd/K) =C Rem Pr0.333.
Fand and Keswani reviewed the work of Hilpert and recalculated the values of the constants C and m in the above equation using more accurate values for the thermo physical properties of air.
Zukaukasz Another correlation proposed by Zukaukas for convective heat transfer over a heated pipe is given by
Nuf = c Ref Prf0.3 7( Prf/ Prw)0.25
Churchill and Bernstein Churchill and Bernstein proposed a single comprehensive equation[5] that covered the entire range of ReD for which data was available, as well as a wide range of Pr. The equation was recommended for all ReD.Pr > 0.2 and has the form
NuD= 0.3+ *[1+(ReD/282,000)5/8]4/5
This correlation was based on semi-empirical work and all properties were evaluated at the film temperature.

Dittus Boelter relation The conventional expression for calculating the heat transfer
coefficient in fully developed turbulent flow in smooth pipes is the Dittus Boelter equation
Nu = C Rem Prn
where C, m and n are constant determined experimentally. these values - C=0.023, m=0.8 and
n = 0.4 for heating of the fluid n = 0.3 for cooling of the fluid Properties of this relation have been calculated at the average fluid
bulk temperatures. Equation is valid for single phase heat transfer in fully developed turbulent flows in smooth pipes for fluids with Prandtl number ranging from 0.6 to 100 at low heat fluxes. At high fluxes the fluid properties changes resulting in higher errors.

Angle of inclination can be varied in terms of 300, 600 , 90°,120° and 150° with the help of lever and nut-bolt arrangement.
Here five thermocouples of k-type, two for inlet and outlet i.e. T4 and T5, rest of the three (i.e. T1,T2 andT3) thermocouples are placed at equal distance on the surface of test specimen.
With the help of blower regulator, velocity of air can be set. Heat input can be set with the help of variac provided on
control panel and same can be read out digitally with the help of voltmeter and ammeter.
Manometer is provided on the board to indicate the level and
hence velocity for different valve opening can be calculated.
METHODOLOGYMETHODOLOGY
The apparatus consists of a blower for forced circulation. The air from the blower passes through a flow passage at
different valve positions, heater and then to the test section. A heater placed around the tube heats the air, heat input is
controlled by a dimmer stat. Heat input is measured with the help of voltmeter and ammeter.
Temperature of the air at inlet and at outlet are measured using thermocouples. The surface temperature of the tube is measured at different sections using thermocouples embedded on the circular duct.
Test section is enclosed with wool and rope, where the circulation of rope avoids the heat loss to outside.
The entire test rig is mounted on a table as shown earlier.
OPERATING PROCEDUREOPERATING PROCEDURE
Plug the 230 Volts AC mains to the main supply line and switch ON mains.
Put on the heater and adjust the voltage to a desired value by using electronic voltage regulator and maintain it as constant
Switch ON the Blower and regulate the flow for desired value by using electronic regulator (First press the switch on the blower and then control through the electronic regulator)
Allow the system to stabilize (reach steady state).This may take about 10-15 minutes.
Note down all the temperatures T1 to T5, voltmeter, ammeter readings and manometer readings.
Repeat the experiment for different heat input and air flow rates.

Variation of heat transfer coefficient with Variation of heat transfer coefficient with inclination for different velocities inclination for different velocities
As it seen from the above graph velocity of air flow influences the heat transfer coefficient at a greater extent than the inclination.
GRAPHS
Variation of Reynolds number and Variation of Reynolds number and Nusselts number at all inclinations Nusselts number at all inclinations
From the above graph it is clear that, irrespective of angle of inclination of duct, there is a direct proportionality between the Reynolds number (Re) and Nusselts (Nu) number. i.e., by increasing the velocity of air there must be an increase in the Reynolds number and Nusselts number, thus increasing the heat transfer coefficient.
CONCLUSIONSCONCLUSIONS
During the test it was found that convective heat transfer coefficient increases in air stream velocity at constant heat input and inclination.
From the result it is evident that heat transfer coefficient is maximum for a constant heat input of undergoes and 9.375 m/sec velocity when the when the duct was inclined at 900 inclination.
The minimum heat transfer coefficient was observed for heat input of 292.6watts and air stream velocity of 8.386 m/sec with 300 inclinations.
The decrease in heat transfer coefficient may be due to restriction in the flow of air when the duct is above 900.
SCOPE FOR FUTURE WORKSCOPE FOR FUTURE WORK The experimentation can be carried out for different fluids. The determination of variation of heat transfer coefficient for
varying cross section of the copper duct. The test rig can be computerized to obtain more accurate results. Fins can be attached on the specimen and the effect of fins on heat
transfer coefficient can be studied.
