Heat Transfer Through Lagged Pipe for engineering schools

Heat Transfer Through Lagged Pipe Apparatus Manufacturer, Supplier and Exporter – Designed for engineering and heat transfer laboratories, this apparatus is used to study radial heat transfer through insulated composite cylinders and evaluate the effectiveness of pipe lagging. The setup consists of three concentric G.I. pipes separated by insulating materials, with temperature sensors positioned to measure the temperature distribution across the pipe walls. Heat is supplied by a centrally mounted Nichrome wire heater with adjustable input.

Experiments:

• Determination of the actual rate of heat transfer through composite cylinders

• Determination of the effective thermal conductivity of the composite cylinder

• Comparison of theoretical and experimental temperature profiles

Utilities Required:

• Electric supply: 220 V AC, Single Phase, 2 Amp

• Laboratory table for mounting the setup

Technical Specifications:

• Inner G.I. pipe: 5 cm diameter (approx.)

• Middle G.I. pipe: 10 cm diameter (approx.)

• Outer G.I. pipe: 15 cm diameter (approx.)
