Heat Transfer From Pin - Fin Apparatus
Product Code : JA-HTLE-7374
The Heat Transfer From Pin - Fin Apparatus (SKU JA-HTLE-7374) studies how an extended surface removes heat. A pin fin is heated at its base by a band heater and mounted in a duct, where air flows over it either by natural convection or from a blower whose flow is measured with an orifice and manometer. This pin fin apparatus lets students measure the temperature along the fin and calculate its heat transfer rate and effectiveness in both modes.
Specifications
The pin fin apparatus is specified by its band heater assembly, duct with pin fin, blower with orifice and manometer, thermocouples and a control panel with a 12-channel digital temperature indicator, 0-250 V voltmeter, 0-3 A ammeter and 0-2 A dimmerstat. Fin material and dimensions are confirmed on the quotation.

Experiments with the pin fin apparatus
The apparatus is used to compare fin performance in natural and forced convection, from the measured temperature profile along the fin and the air flow rate through the duct.
- Temperature distribution along a pin fin in natural and forced convection
- Re, Pr and Nu numbers in forced convection; Gr, Pr and Nu in natural convection
- Finding the fin parameter m and predicted temperatures along the fin
- Heat transfer rate and fin effectiveness in both modes

Frequently asked questions
Can it run in natural and forced convection?
Yes. With the blower off the fin cools by natural convection; with the blower on, air is forced through the duct.
How is air flow measured?
With an orifice and manometer on the blower delivery.
How many temperatures are read?
Up to 12 channels on the digital temperature indicator.
