steady flow test

Basically I did an experiment of an open system and the system involves;


-Air from background blown into a large tube by a fan motor

- Then it goes through an orifice in which the air goes through a tiny hole in the tube thus a change in pressure*

-Then it is heated by a heater and exits out into the atmosphere.

this involves an open system and so heat is released but my results show that there was a slight heat gain into the system.

Could someone explain why might this be?

thanks in advance!
