Demonstration of the relationship between Power input and Surface Temperature
convection
forced
Description:
The H111P Free and Forced convection
from Flat Finned and Pinned Plates
enables students to investigate heat
transfer from various surfaces in free and
forced convection.
The range of heated plates demonstrates
the effect of extended surfaces (fins and
pins) on the rate of heat transfer. The
H111P is designed to be used with, and to
be installed alongside, the Heat Transfer
Service Unit H111.

The accessory comprises a rectangular
duct (6) mounted on the discharge of a
base mounted centrifugal fan. In the middle
of the duct is an air velocity sensor (5) that
allows the air velocity within the duct to be
measured and displayed (meters/second)
on the air velocity display (4) below the
base. At the centre of the duct is an
aperture that allows any of the three heated
plates (8) supplied to be installed.

Forced Convection
A flat plate, pinned plate, or finned plate heat exchanger may be installed in the duct
and secured by two toggle clamps. Each exchanger incorporates an electric heater
mat rated at 100w at 240V. Each of the heated plates incorporates thermostatic
protection against overheating.
The heater surftace temperature (T1) is continuously monitored and displayed by the
temperature indicator when plugged in to the console.
The Pinned plate is fitted with three extra thermocouples (T3, 4 and 5) to measure
the temperature of extended surfaces. T5 is furthest from the heater.
The Finned plate is fitted with three extra thermocouples (T6, 7 and 8) to measure
the temperature of extended surfaces. T8 is furthest from the heater.
The T9 air temperature (7) sensor is located at the base of the duct and records the
temperature of the air flowing over the heated plate.
Thermocouple attachment points on the heat exchangers are protected by a covering
of adhesive.
The air velocity passing the heated plates can be varied from zero to more than 8m/s
depending upon the local mains voltage and supply frequency. The air velocity
sensor (5) is permanently mounted in the duct and connects to the console below
using a line plug and socket.
The air velocity is controlled by the use of an intake air throttle (9). For natural
convection experiments, the fan may be switched off using the fan switch(3) on the
H111P console.
All thermocouples are 'Duplex'. The primary set of thermocouples terminates with a
miniature plug (identified T1, and T3 to T8) for insertion into the control console
sockets.
The secondary set of thermocouples terminates with 2-way edge-connectors suitable
for the Hilton Data
Acquisition Uparade is installed. The panel mounted socket labeled 'T1 out provides
onal HC111A Data
