Opis

This title is an ideal resource for chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, or engineering technology professors or instructors starting a new laboratory or in need of inexpensive demonstrations of selected heat transfer or fluids principles for the classroom.

Recenzje

"This book presents 19 hands-on experiments and demonstrations that can be easily replicated at your university. They are budget friendly experiments and many are inexpensive enough to be replicated for small group use in an active-learning session in a classroom. The instructions are clearly written so that you can successfully build and operate them. The author’s indications of the level of precision that you will get with the apparatus are very helpful in planning whether it is appropriate for your purpose. Tips on changes that you might wish to make are included. Best yet, the authors invite you to email them with your questions."
