    INTRODäCTION

    Forced convection is a mechanism, or type of transport in which fluid motion is


    generated by anexternal source (like apump, fan, suction device, etc.). It should be
    onsidered as one of the main methodsof useful heat transfer as significant amounts of
    heat energy canbe transported very cfficiently.
    THEORY
    The experimental setup consistsof atube through which air is sent in by a
    blower. The test section consists of a long electrical surface heater on the tube which
    ser es as a constant heat flux source on the flowing medium. The inlet and outlet
    temperatures of theflowing air aremeasured by thermocouples and also the
    temperatures at several locations along the surface heater from which on average
    temperature can be obtained. An orifice meter in the tube is used to measure the air
    flow rate with a 'Utube water manometer. An ammeter and a voltmeter are provided to
    measure the power input to the heater. A power regulator is provided to vary the
    power input to heater. A multipointdigital temperature indicator is provided to
    measure the above thermocouples input.
