The document describes procedures for conducting an experiment using a concentric tube heat exchanger to study counter and parallel flow configurations. The experiment involves setting flow rates for hot and cold water, adjusting the hot water temperature, allowing the system to stabilize, and recording temperature measurements at multiple points for both fluids under varying flow conditions.

PROCEDURE 1. The main switch is switched on. 2. The valve for counter flow is set.

3. The cold water flow rate, Qc is set at 1000 cm3/min and let it constant.
Figure?? : Cold Water Flow Rate
4. The temperature of hot water is set to 54°C by adjusting temperature control.
Figure??: Temperature Control
5. The hot water flow rate, QH is set to 1000cm3/min.
Figure??: Hot Water Flow Rate
6. The system is let stable in 5 minutes and the temperature at TH in, TH mid, and TH out are taken for both cold and hot water.
Figure??: The system is let stable in 5 minutes
7. Step 4 until 6 are repeated by varying the hot water flow rate to 2000 cm3/min, 3000 cm3/min and 4000 cm3/min. 8. Step 3 until 7 are repeated by set the valve to parallel flow.
