Abstract

the final section was insulated providing an adiabatic mixing length to allow a single or bulk reading of the final air temperature. The apparatus was equipped with instrumentation for measuring (1) air mass flow rate, (2) pressure drop over a given length, (3) temperature distribution along the duct wall and temperature rise of the air, (4) temperature profile at the exit of the duct, and (5) energy input to the heating ribbon. In previous years, this lab involved operation at one heated condition (corresponding to a single Reynolds number and Nusselt number) and several unheated conditions. In order to accommodate complementary numerical simulations using FlowLab, the lab was modified to include operation at one heated condition only with operation at the unheated conditions being dropped. In the first week of the lab for each student group, the instructor introduced the experimental set- up and data acquisition as well as the pipe flow template. The hands-on template
