ABSTRACT-
The objective of this experiment is to find the main contributors to heat transfer in the system. Water isheated and the energy is transferred in two ways throughout the system. The system is run for a period of 30minutes, in both free and forced convection. The heat produced by the boiler will remain constant throughout theexperiment and the actual energy gathered will be a result of the condensed water captured in the three differentvessels. The theoretical and experimental data was determined through measurements taken in the experimentby thermocouple, scale and water drainage for the forced and free convection trials. The steam condensed on theouter surface of the inner tube as well as the inner surface of the outer tube. When theoretical values for forcedconvection were calculated (284KJ) was compared to the 220 KJ for the experimental values, roughly 25% errorwas experienced
