ME 420 - Thermo/Fluids Lab

This lab course will cover experimental methods in thermodynamics, fluids, and heat transfer. Students will learn about simple error in making measures of temperature and pressure, about uncertainty analysis in converting electrical energy into heat energy, validate Bernoulli’s Equation in measure pressure and static heads of a venture, minor losses in fluid systems, and heat transfer from a fluid flowing over a plate and in tubular heat exchangers.
