• Resumen

  • Miniaturized fluid mechanics and heat transfer systems have been developed for classroom learning of flow measurement,hydraulic loss, and heat exchanger concepts. This equipment produces measurable, predictable temperature and pressurechanges using tap water across a narrow flow range. Herein the capabilities of the equipment, agreement with correlations,and evidence of suitability for classrooms are provided. Analysis of student comments, from open-ended survey questionsgiven to a total of 52 students over two semesters, is generally positive with students finding added value from using theequipment
