Design and Fabrication of a Room Heating System-Effect of Air Velocity

OBJECTIVES

1.To Design and Fabricate a Room Heating system.
2.To observe the rate of Heat Transfer from the system to the atmosphere.
3.To observe the effect of different air velocities in the rate of heat transfer.

EQUIPMENTS

1.Piping system
2.Rota meter
3.Storage Tank
4.Electric Heater
5.Fin

METHODOLOGY

1.Water in the storage tank was heated by an electric heater.
2.Heated water then pumped into the piping system which was attached with some fins.
3.Pumped water then returned back into the storage tank .
4.Heat was transferred to the atmosphere through the piping systems and fins.
