CAT NO: DIDACTICHydraulic Machine0006
Helical Coil Apparatus.
Helical Coil Apparatus
Helical coils are used for heating or cooling in process tanks. When a
fluid flow through a curved tube, centrifugal force acting upon the
various elements of fluid moving with different velocities causes
secondary circulation
Secondary flow results in higher heat transfer
characteristics. Further secondary flow stabilizes the laminar flow
leading of a higher critical Reynolds number for transition from laminar
to turbulent flow.
Experiments
To determine the critical Reynolds number of a fluid flowing through the coil.
To determine the friction factor for flow of water through helical coil
