The heat exchanger is fully instrumented using the Heat Exchanger Service Unit with thermocouples on the inlet and outlet of both the hot and cold streams. An example of an industrial Coiled Concentric Tube Heat Exchanger with turbulence enhancing tubes. The heat exchanger is deliberately not insulated so that heat losses in all of the configurations can be investigated. The heat exchanger can be arranged so that either hot or cold streams are in the inner tube. With either configuration both co-current and counter-current flow can be established.

Water turbines are turbomachines utilising water power. The water jet is redirected by approximately 180 in the blades. The impulse of the water jet is transmitted to the Pelton wheel. The Pelton turbine is a type of impulse turbine; such turbines convert the pressure energy of water into kinetic energy entirely in the distributor. During the conversion, the water jet is accelerated in a nozzle and directed onto the blades of the Pelton wheel tangentially.
Learning Objectives And Experiments:
Graphical representation of characteristic curves for torque, power and efficiency
Design and function of a Pelton turbine
Determination of torque, power and efficiency.

The Fluidization And Heat Transfer unit consists of a glass cylinder with a bottom chamber and a top assembly. The bottom chamber has as a built-in air distributor. The distributor can be replaced by a locally designed one for students and other investigations. Fluidization And Heat Transfer bench top equipment is for studying the behavior of a fluidized bed and heat transfer coefficient of a hot surface in a fluidized bed. The top assembly consists of an air filter and a heating element, temperature probes and a pressure probe. Compressed air from an outside source is supplied to the bottom chamber. The air fluidizes the bed material and escapes to the atmosphere through the top filter. A small air compressor is provided. The glass cylinder assembly is attached to a panel through the top assembly and can be easily removed and installed. The glass cylinder is partially filled with granular bed material. The air flow rate is measured by a rotameter. A water manometer measures pressure drop in the fluidized bed. The heating element and, temperature probes can move up and down at any position in the glass cylinder. Safety features include overheating and overpressure. A heating element is provided in the glass cylinder. Temperature probes are provided for measurement of heating element surface, fluidized bed and air inlet to the bottom chamber.

A solution flows, by falling, into mixing tank where also a noise solution is sent by falling from tank called Noise. Thanks to solenoid valves and and manual valves and the control the two flows is achieved, and measured directly by means of flow meters and. The purpose of the process is to control the pH of a solution initially held in tank called Main. Stirrer allows to get homogeneous solutions inside process tank. The pH of the solution present in mixing tank is measured by means of probe converted into electrical signal and supplied to electrical unit by means of signal transmitter. From sampling tank it is possible to take a sample of the controlled solution held in tank in order to measure the pH with other gauges.
