Experiments in Heat Transfer and Thermodynamics

doi:10.1017/CBO9780511608346

Students learn by doing, perhaps engineering students especially, and they will better understand the principles of heat transfer and thermodynamics by conducting experiments and seeing results. This book is a collection of experiments in heat transfer and thermodynamics contributed by leading engineering educators. The experiments have been tested, evaluated, and proved successful for classroom use. Each experiment follows the same step-by-step format which includes the objective of the experiment, apparatus needed, procedure, suggested headings, and references. The experiments use apparatus that is easily built or attainable. Among the topics covered are heat conduction, convection, boiling, mixing, diffusion, radiation, heat pipes and exchangers, and thermodynamics. The book will be especially useful as a companion to standard heat transfer and thermodynamics texts.
