STEFAN BOLTZMAN APPARATUS
AIM:
To find Stefan-Boltzman constant.
DESCRIPTION OF APPARATUS:
Stefan Boltzman law which establishes the dependence of integral hemispherical
radiation on temperature. We can verify this phenomenon in this unit. The experimental set
up consisting of concentric hemispheres with provision for the hot water to pass through the
annulus. A hot water source is provided. The water flow may be varied using the control
valve provided, thereby to control the hot water temperature. A small disk is placed at the
bottom of the hemisphere, which receives the heat radiation and can be removed (or) refitted
while conducting the experiment. A multi point digital temperature indicator and
thermocouples (Fe/Ko) are provided to measure temperature at various points on the radiating
surface of the hemisphere and on the disc.

HEAT EXCHANGER TEST PARALLEL FLOW AND COUNTERFLOW
Aim:
To find the overall heat transfer co-efficient in parallel flow and counter flow.
DESCRIPTION OF APPARATUS:
Heat exchangers are devices in which heat is transferred from one fluid to another.
Common examples of the heat exchangers are the radiator of a car, condenser at the back of
domestic refrigerator etc. Heat exchangers are classified mainly into three categories. 1.
Transfer type 2. Storage type 3. Direct contact type.
Transfer type of heat exchangers are most widely used. A transfer type of heat
exchanger is one in which both fluids pass simultaneously through the device and head is
transferred through separating walls. Transfer type of exchangers are further classifies as
1. Parallel flow type in fluids flow in the same direction.
2. Counter flow type in fluids flow in the opposite direction.
3. Cross flow type in which fluids flow at any angle to each other.
A simple heat exchanger of transfer type can be in the form of a tube arrangement.
One fluid flowing through the inner tube and the other through the annulus surrounding it.
The heat transfer takes place across the walls of the inner tube.

The apparatus consists of a concentric tube heat exchanger. The hot fluid i.e. hot
water is obtained from an electric geyser and flows through the inner tube. The cold fluid i.e.
cold water can be admitted at any one of the ends enabling the heat exchanger to run as a
parallel flow apparatus or a counter flow apparatus. This can be done by operating the
different valves provided. Temperatures of the fluids can be measured using thermometers.
Flow rate can be measured using stop clock and measuring flask. The outer tube is provided
with adequate asbestos rope insulation to minimize the heat loss to the surroundings.
SPECIFICATIONS:
Length of the heat exchanger
Inner copper tube inner diameter = mm
Outer diameter = mm
Outer GI tube ID = mm
PROCEDURE:
1. Connect water supply at the back of the unit. The inlet water flows through geyser
and inner pipe of the heat exchanger and flows out.
Also the inlet water flows through the annulus gap of the heat exchanger and flows
out.
2. For parallel flow open valve V

fin has a uniform cross sectional area Ao is made of material having a uniform thermal
conductivity K and the average heat transfer co-efficient between the surface to the fluid. We
shall assume that transverse temperature gradients are so small so that the temperature at any
cross section of the fin is uniform.
The apparatus consists of a Pin-fin placed inside an open duct, (one side open) the
other end of the duct is connected to the suction side of a blower; the delivery side of a
blower is taken up through a gate valve and an orifice meter to the atmosphere. The airflow
rate can be varied by the gate valve and can be measured on the U tube manometer connected
to the orifice meter. A heater is connected to one end of the pin-fin and seven thermocouples
are connected by equal distance all along the length of the pin and the eighth thermocouple is
left in the duct.

indicator. Regulator is to control the power input to the heater. U tube manometer with
connecting hoses.

constant.
9. Tabulate the readings and calculate for different conditions.

TEST ON EMISSIVITY APPARATUS
AIM:
To measure the emissivity of the test plate surface.
DESCRIPTION OF APPARATUS :
An ideal black surface is one, which absorbs the radiation falling on it. Its reflectivity
and transivity is zero. The radiation emitted per unit time per unit area from the surface of
the body is called emissive power.
The emissive power of a body to the emissive power of black body at the same
temperature is known as emissivity of that body. For a black body absorptivity is 1 and by
Kirchhoffs law its emissivity is also 1. Emissivity depends on the surface temperature and
the nature of the surface.
The experimental set up consists of two circular aluminum plates identical in size and
are provided with heating coils at the bottom. The plates or mounted on thick asbestos sheet
and kept in an enclosure so as to provide undisturbed natural convection surroundings. The
heat input to the heaters is varied by two regulators and is measured by an ammeter and
voltmeter. The temperatures of the plates are measured by Ir/Con thermocouples. Each plate
is having three thermocouples; hence an average temperature may be taken. One
thermocouple is kept in the enclosure to read the chamber temperature. One plate is
blackened by a layer of enamel black paint to form the idealized black surface whereas the
other plate is the test plate. The heat dissipation by conduction is same in both cases.
SPECIFICATION:
Diameter of test plate and black surface = mm
PROCEDURE:
a) Connect the three pin plug to the 230V, 50Hz, 15 amps main supply and switch on
the unit.
b) Keep the thermocouple selector switch in first position. Keep the toggle switch in
position 1. By operating the energy regulator 1 power will be fed to black plate.

Now keep the toggle switch in position 2 and operate regulator 2 and feed power
to the test surface.
c) Allow the unit to stabilize. Ascertain the power inputs to the black and test
surfaces are at set values. i.e. equal.
d) Turn the thermocouple selector switch clockwise step by step and note down the
temperatures indicated by the temperature indicator from channel 1 to 7.
e) Tabulate the readings and calculate.
f) After the experiment is over turn off both the energy regulators 1 & 2.
g) For various power inputs repeat the experiment.
