Validation of the experimental
setup with known results
To validate the present experimental setup and results, four experiments
are carried out in the IUT Lab with another setup following the test
procedures applied to TMMHP. The setup contained a circular SMMHP made
with copper which was tested by the experimenters Hossain et al.
[18] for ethanol, methanol and acetone, and operated at
30o, 50o, 70o and
90o angles with the heat inputs of 0.61W, 1.56W,
3.67W, and 8.71W. Out of three fluids, ethanol is selected as the
working fluid for the validation test. The specifications of the setup
are given in Table 3.
