APPLIED FLUID MECHANICS LAB MANUAL

Document Content and Description Below

This OER is designed for a junior-level lab in applied fluid mechanics (CE 3142) at UTA. The lack of standard material for the fluid mechanics laboratory course causes students to seek help from sever... al textbooks in the subject area for the theoretical background of experiments, which costs them money and time; others seek out online resources for lab demonstrations. Even though free resources (e.g., lab manuals, videos, lab reports) are increasingly available on the Internet, they are too frequently inadequate and unreliable. This manual supports students by providing streamlined, vetted, and self-paced content, which frees students’ time and saves them money. The OER includes customized lab manuals, educational videos, and an interactive lab report preparation workbook for ten fluid mechanics experiments. Each section includes theory, practical applications, objectives, experimental procedure, and post-experiment questions. Preparation of result tables and charts are automated within the workbook for each experiment to facilitate answering post-experiment questions and writing lab reports. [Show More]
