  2. Introduction • The stirred tank is an important experiment concerning the heat transfer (HT) to a fluid • Due to the great variety of types of stirred tanks there are only a few reliable correlations. • A steam jacket allows HT to the internal liquid and aninternal cooling coil uses cold water to remove heat. • Liquid exits into a HXthat is also fed with cold water. Cooled liquid is returned to the tank.

  3. Purpose • The purpose of this laboratory experiment is to measure the heat transfer coefficient (HTC) between the fluid and the inside tank wall. • These measurements will be taken during three HT processes involving the stirred tank unit.

  4. Purpose • These three processes include: • Steady State Unbaffled Tank • Steady State Baffled Tank • Baffles deter vortexes, improving fluid mixing increases heat transfer rate. • Unsteady State UnbaffledTank • Can then determine the dependence of the HTC on the impeller speed, fluid properties, and the use of baffles.

  5. Theory • The HT terms consist of: • HTacross the internal fluid to the wall of the stirred tank • HT across the tank wall • HT from the condensing steam to the tank wall

  6. Theory • For Steady State: Q13 = U(t1-t3)A • Use this equation to solve for overall HTC. • t1 is the temp in the tank,t2 is the temp of the steam trap outlet, and A is the tank area

  7. Theory Q13 = U(t1-t3)A • Q13, HT from steam to fluid in vessel, is the difference between heat removed in cooling coils and the heat removed by the HX: Q13 = Qc – Qhx *Qc and Qhx can each be solved using Q=mCpΔt

  8. Theory • ho, the HTC at outer wall surface, can be solved using: ho = 2960 (DT,o/mst)1/3 • where DT,o is the tank diameter and mst is the mass flow rate of steam • mst can be found be calculating the volume of steam condensate collected per time interval

  9. Theory • To solve for hi, HTC at inner wall, use the relation: hi = (1/U + 1/ho)-1 • For unsteady state use the relation: AU(t1-t3) = mCp[dt3/dΘ] • In this case, [dt3/dΘ] is the slope of the graph of unsteady state heating vs. time

  13. Procedure • Steady State Stirred Tank (Unbaffled): • Fill tank with water to about 2 inches from top. Measure height of liquid level. • Turn on impeller motor and set to ~ 100 RPM. • Turn on cooling water to cooling coils. • Turn on cooling water to HX. • Close pump discharge and pump suction valves. Open pump bypass valve.

  14. Procedure • Steady State Stirred Tank (Unbaffled): • Turn on pump. • Open cooling water valve to steam condenser. • Open steam inlet valve. • After reaching steady state record flow rates, temperatures, and impeller speed. • Repeat for different impeller speeds. • *Note: Adjust HX flow rate to a higher temperature to obtain data for two different temperatures at constant impeller speeds.

  15. Procedure Continued • Steady State Stirred Tank (Baffled): • Repeat steps 1-10 of previous procedureusing the mechanical baffles. • Unsteady State: • Open water inlet valve, fill tank. • Close all the valves for the cooling coil and recirculation water lines. • Turn on cooling water to condenser. • Open the condenser water valve, slightly open steam valve. • Turn on the impeller. • Adjust impeller speed to speeds used in SS trials. • Open the steam valve. • Measure the temp and time intervals and record data (until reach 85 oC).

  16. Safety • Take note of equipment exposed to high heat steam and use heat gloves when necessary. • Avoid the impeller when in use. • Be cautious of water spills to prevent slipping.
