Fluid & Thermal Systems Lab

Catalog description

Experimental analysis of fluid flow, heat transfer and thermodynamic systems. Experimental techniques common to the fluid-thermal sciences fields will be used in hands-on laboratory experiments. Techniques include wind tunnel measurements, pitot-static systems, temperature measurement, flow visualization, pump power, and use of data acquisition systems. A final project including the application of measurement techniques and use of experimental facilities in the field of fluid and thermal sciences is required for each laboratory group. Laboratory reports are presented.
