Thermodynamics Lab Modules
Our lab offers a range of specialized modules, including:
THT-135 Heat Conduction And Convection Lab Unit
The THT-135 Heat Conduction and Convection Lab Unit is designed for basic experiments on heat transfer through conduction and convection. It enables investigations into free and forced convection, calculations of convective heat transfer, and analysis of how material types and sample lengths affect heat conduction and transfer efficiency. This versatile unit is ideal for studying the principles of thermal energy transfer.
THT-223 Condensation Process
The THT-223 Condensation Process unit demonstrates various condensation processes using two water-cooled tubular condensers made of different materials. Drop-wise condensation is observed on the polished gold-plated condenser, while film condensation forms on the matte copper surface of the second condenser. This setup allows for a detailed examination of both condensation types.
THT-137 Heat Transfer By Radiation Lab Unit
The THT-137 Heat Transfer by Radiation Lab Unit explores heat transfer through radiation. It uses a concentrated light beam, generated by an adjustable halogen lamp and parabolic reflector, to heat a metallic sample placed at the focal point. Temperature measurements are taken via a thermocouple, while the thermal radiation emitted by the sample is measured using a movable thermopile. This setup enables precise analysis of radiative heat transfer and its effects.
THT-X02 Tubular Heat Exchanger Lab Unit
The THT-X02 Tubular Heat Exchanger Lab Unit examines the transfer of thermal energy between two fluids without direct contact. It uses hot water, generated within the unit, and cold water from the lab supply. Thermal energy from the hot water transfers to the cold water through the heat exchanger. The apparatus supports parallel or counter-flow operations by reversing water connections, enabling the study of heat exchanger efficiency and operational principles.
