STUDI EKSPERIMENTAL PENGARUH VARIASI KETEBALAN TURBULATOR (TIPE STRAIGHT TAPE STRIP) TERHADAP KARAKTERISTIK PERPINDAHAN PANAS ALIRAN SILANG SUSUNAN SILINDER STAGGERED

Abstract: The purpose of this research is to conduct experimental studies on the influence of variations in the thickness of the straight tape strip type turbulator to the average convection  heat  transfer  coefficient,  the  average  Nusselt  numbers,  pressure  drop and the formulation of empirical Nusselt number average on the composition of the staggered cylinders in cross flow.The material usedis φ7/8 inches copper pipe and ± 60oC hot air flow. Turbulator material is mica sheet with a length of 150 mm and width  5  mm,  turbulator  variation  thickness  are  3.3, 2.6,  1.9,  1.2,  0.5  mm  and without a turbulator. Turbulator installation done symmetrically at an angle of 70o to the direction of flow. Tests using Multi PurposeAir Duct with air flow velocity variations of 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 m/s. The  results  showed  that  the  thickening  turbulator  will  increase  the  value  of convection heat transfer coefficient and average pressure drop. In variations of 3.3 mm  thickness  showed  turbulator  heat  transfer  coefficient  of  convection  largest average for all variations of Reynolds number in the amount of 64,947.06 W/m2.K, 66,973.51,  75,156.10,  and  303,222.49  W/m2K.  And  the  largest  pressure  drop  of every variations of Reynolds number  were 11.36, 22.72, 42.19 and 63.29 Pa. The experiments  resulted  formulation  of  empirical  average  Nusselt  number 69.4 4.1Pr Re 12.5 = Nu .
