AET: Measurement, Thermal and Fluids Lab

The Measurement, Thermal and Fluids laboratories are used for laboratory exercises supporting a wide array of courses. Laboratories include basic measurements mass, distance, time, density, pressure, temperature, flow, electrical resistance, thermal conductivity, electrical resistivity, etc. Students learn fundamental measurement methods and explore thermodynamic and flow systems and are introduced to instrument interfaces with computers for measurement and control.

Thermoelectric cooler for cooling integrated circuits.		Hands-on approach allows students to experiment with current technology.
Digital thermocouple and infrared thermometer are used to measure temperature.		Students measure temperature remotely and by contacting thermal devices.
Digital balance and calibration weights.		Vortex cooler/heater experiments introduces students to flow, pressure and temperature measurement.
Experiments are monitored using computer and software to produce virtual instrument displays.		Students feel air flow and temperature changes while making thermodynamic measurements.
