PT Journal AU BRODNIANSKA, Z TI EXPERIMENTAL SETUP FOR RESEARCH OF CONVECTIVE HEAT TRANSFER SO Trends in education PY 2013 BP 44 EP 47 VL 6 IS 1 DE convection; heat transfer; heat exchange surface AB The article deals with the projection of experimental setup for research of convective heat transfer in vacuum and ventilation systems. The field of research is shaped heat exchange surfaces in a horizontal position. The temperature fields around heat exchange surfaces can be visualized by means of the holographic interferometry and there is a possibility of optimizing in terms of geometric shapes, spacing and use of regulating elements with a change rate of an air flow and heat flux. This experimental setup is a useful didactic tool in educational process in field of the heat transfer or application of visualization methods. ER
