Description

Convective heat transfer refers to the transfer of heat between a surface and a fluid. Convective heat transfer processes are associated with fluid flow movements, i.e. convection. In the case of forced convection, a pump or fan directs the fluid to the transfer surfaces, while in the case of free convection, a flow occurs only due to the difference in density of the heated fluid.

it and its accessories are used to study convective heat transfer at different geometries of the transfer surface. Typical models such as tube bundles, externally heated tubes and internally heated cylinders are considered. In addition, the chimney effect can be demonstrated under free convection in an air duct.
