1. To determine following parameters for composite wall structure.
Total thermal resistance
Thermal conductivity
To plot temperature gradient along the composite wall structure

2. To determine the value of Nusselt number and convective heat

transfer coefficient for ice plate loosing heat by natural
convection experimentally and by using empirical correlation.

3. To determine average surface heat transfer coefficient for a pipe

losing heat by forced convection. Comparison of heat transfer
coefficient for different air flow and heat flow rates. To calculate
Reynold’s number and Nusselt’s number for each experimental
condition. And to plot surface temperature distribution along the
length of pipe.

4. To determination of Emissivity of non black surface. And study of

variation of Emissivity of test plate with respect to absolute
temperature.

5. To study of temperature distribution along the length of simple

pin fin in both natural & forced convection. Comparison of
theoretical temperature distribution with experimentally
obtained distribution. Comparison of performance of fins of
various materials supplied.

6. To determination the overall heat transfer coefficient for parallel

flow and counter flow heat exchanger and compare it with
theoretical value. Determine effectiveness in parallel and counter
flow arrangement. To calculate - a) Rate of heat transfer, b)
L.M.T.D. c) Theoretical overall heat transfer co-efficient.

7. To determine the unsteady state heat transfer coefficient between

the medium in which body is heated.
