Specification
The present setup is designed to study the heat transfer in a pin fin. It consists of pin type fin fitted in a duct having a heater. A fan is provided at one end to conduct experiments under forced draft conditions. Air flow rates can be varied with control valve and measured with the help of with differential pressure transmitter. Temperature transmitters measure temperature distribution along the fin. Electronic energy meter is provided to measure the heat input. It has an interfacing unit designed by
Engineers along with LabVIEW software. This educational software allows/enables user to log the real time experimental data and tabulate the experimental/sample reading according to the requirement of experiment. User have a control on data logging, printing the stored data and preparing spread sheets in Excel. Flexible graph plotting facility is also available in the software.
