Key Features
- Electrically heated jacketed vessel with a submerged copper helical coil
- Motorised agitator at the centre of the coil provides controlled mixing
- Cold water circulated through the coil while the vessel is heated
- Temperature of circulated coil water and vessel water measured for heat transfer analysis
- Glass wool insulation around the vessel minimises external heat loss
- Allows determination of heat transfer coefficient at different agitator speeds
Applications
The Heat Transfer In Agitated Vessel apparatus is used in heat transfer and process engineering laboratories to study heat transfer to a coil submerged in a stirred, heated vessel, helping students determine how agitator speed affects the heat transfer coefficient.
