The setup consists of a glass column with fluidizing material i.e. beads, S.S. mesh to support the beads and with calming section. Pressure drop across fluidization can be measured by manometer. The setup studies in fluidization characteristics and relationship between the velocity of the fluid and pressure drop per unit length. The apparatus is close circuit type provided with suitable capacity tank, FHP pump, necessary pipeline valves and a Rotameter to measure the flow rate of fluid. The setup is fitted on a MS frame painted with good quality paint.

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.

Desc. : The set-up consists of a glass column packed with packing material i.e. Rasching rings, SS mesh to support the packing and with calming section. Pressure drop across packed bed can be measured by manometer. The set-up studies in packed bed characteristics and relationship between the velocity of the fluid and pressure drop per unit length. The apparatus is close circuit type provided with tank, Pump, necessary piping and valves and Rotameter to measure the flow rate of fluid. The set-up is fitted on a MS frame and painted with good quality paint.
