To find out the effectiveness of heat exchange.
‘THEORY:
‘hell and tube heat exchanger is mostly used in chemical industries as a condenser, cooler, or heater.
‘When the heat transfer area required is more than 10 m?, one has to go for a shell and tube heat
exchanger, which occupies less space and offers reasonable pressure drop compared to other types of
heat exchangers. Because of its wide utility, Its mechanical design has been standardized

The film heat transfer coefficient Is a function of velocity, wh

PRECAUTIONS:
a
1) Do not put on geysers unless water flow is continuous.
2) Flow rates should not vary.
3) The Thermometer should be put in the pocket after little oil at base.
4) Equipment should be earthed properly.
