Heat Transfer Lab

The apparatus consists of a container containing water. The heating surface is in the form of a Nichrome heater wire completely submerged in the water. There is another heater submerged in the water to initially heat the water upto the required temperature to study the critical heat flux phenomenon at various temperatures of water in cylindrical shell. The temperature of the water in the cylindrical shell is measured with the help of a temp sensor. Electrical supply to the test heating wire is given through a dimmerstat. And the power input is measured with a voltmeter and an ammeter.
