Description
ABSTRACT
The comparison Evaluation of a heat transfer coefficient between the counter current and co-current flow arrangement was carried out on heat trainer, fabricated in Nigeria. The experiments carried out are of two different arrangement; counter-current flow arrangement and co- current flow arrangement of which counter-current flow firstly consist of counter-current flow with cold phase variation, hot phase constancy. Counter – current flow with hot phase variation and cold phase constancy. Secondly the arrangement is co-current flow arrangement which also consist of two different conditions, which are co-current flow with cold phase variation and hot phase constancy; co-current flow with hot phase variation and cold phase constancy. The equipment involves also liking reading of temperature at different flow rate, having completed the experiment and getting result a critical analysis and evaluation was carried out to get the best arrangement of the experiment. Using the graph plotted i.e. a graph of heat transfer rate per unit area against the log mean temperature difference, A result
showing the heat transfer coefficient was observed, This helped to get a conclusion of recommended flow arrangement.
