Investigation of the static behavior of thermocouples and thermistors. Students use HP 3465 multimeters and Omega hand-held thermocouple probes. Students use Tektronix model 5113 oscilloscopes, Exact function generators, precision variable resistors and variable capacitors. Study of the static characteristics of a Wheatstone bridge in preparation for stress-strain measurements in later laboratories. Study of the kinematic behavior of a wheel and crank assembly.
Students use a potentiometer, accelerometer, power supply, and oscilloscope.
Calibration of an orifice using a pilot probe and a precision Dwyer manometers.
