ME 372L - Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer Laboratory

This laboratory course includes experiments to reintroduce and reinforce the principles associated with conduction, convection, and radiation. Each laboratory session begins with a thorough review of the relevant material covered in the lecture course, including the use of energy conservation on control volumes related to the experiment and appropriate assumptions and simplifications. Students are then briefed about the setup of the data acquisition systems, what type of data need to be collected, and how the data are coupled to the topic. At the end of the semester, the students should be able to interface a typical data acquisition system with those used in industry and research. Students generally work in teams to collect data, with reports prepared after completing the experiment.

The laboratory assignments complement the lecture course ME 331, which must be taken as a prerequisite or concurrently.
