UNSTEADY STATE HEAT TRANSFER
UNIT
MODEL: HE 178
his Unsteady State Heat Transfer Unit (Model: HE 178) has been designed to allow students to run
T experiments on unsteady state heat transfer. The unit is supplied with a heated water bath and a set of
solid shapes with built-in temperature sensor to monitor the temperature at the center of the shape. Monitoring
of the temperature at the centre of the shape allows analysis of heat flow using the appropriate transient-temperature/
heat flow charts provided.
DESCRIPTION
The water bath has a capacity of 30 litres and is heated
Two sets of simple shapes (a solid sphere, a rectangular by a 3.0 kW electric heating element. The temperature
slab, a long solid cylinder) made of brass and stainless of the water bath can be maintained and predetermined
steel are supplied. Each of the shapes has a built-in by means of a temperature controller before taking any
temperature sensor to measure the temperature at the measurements. The large volume of water in the bath
