  2. Outline • Objective • Goals • Laboratory Report • Operations Manual • Heat Source • Electrical • Current Assignments • Completion Status

  3. Objective • To design and manufacture a heat exchanger learning apparatus to help students understand how a heat exchanger works and the various parameters that affect its performance

  4. Goals • Incorporate a heat exchanger laboratory experiment in the Mechanical Engineering Technology Laboratory Curriculum • Include three(3) interchangeable bundles to familiarize students with the internal components of a heat exchanger • Incorporate LabView software to collect and display data
