Experiment Intro

Experiment 100 – Pipe Flow

The experiment utilizes a system of pumps and pipes to develop correlations between friction and tube diameter, density, viscosity, and velocity of the fluid in the pipe. For more information of the Pipe Flow Experiment click here.

Experiment 120 - Viscosity Measurement

This experiment utilizes a Cannon-Fenske Viscometer to measure the viscosity of Newtonian fluids and develop a correlation between solution composition and viscosity. For more information on the Viscosity Measurement click here.

Experiment 140 - Tank Discharge

This experiment examines the effect of piping on the speed with which a tank is emptied which is often key in industrial processes. For more information on Experiment 140 click here.

Experiment 180 – Packed-Bed Flow

This experiment uses an absorption column to characterize the different facets of column operation and allows the students to gain an understanding of absorption processes. For more information on Experiment 180 click here.

Experiment 200 - Heat Exchanger

Three double-pipe heat exchangers of varying diameters allow the students to expand their knowledge of techniques to measure heat transfer rates and coefficients. For more information on Experiment 200 click here.

Experiment 240 - Unsteady Heat Transfer

Three rods of varying diameter and material are used to study the transfer of thermal energy under both steady and unsteady conditions. For more information on Experiment 240 click here.

Experiment 260 - Evaporator Testing

A jacketed Rototherm agitated thin film evaporator is tested using water to determine the overall heat transfer coefficient as a function of agitation speed and feed rate. For more information on Experiment 260 click here.

Experiment 320 - Gas Permeation

A PRISM separator consisting of four modules of membrane area/module equal to 2.7 m² is used to determine the permeabilities of oxygen and nitrogen as well as test the effect of different parameters on the separation. For more information on Experiment 320 click here.
