Heat Transfer Virtual Lab for Students and Engineers

Laboratory experiments are a vital part of engineering educationwhich historically were considered impractical for distance learning.This book presents a guide for the practical employment of a heattransfer virtual lab for students and engineers.Inside the authors have detailed this virtual lab which is designedand can implement a real-time robust and scalable software systemthat provides easy access to lab equipment anytime and anywhereover the Internet. They introduce and explain LabVIEW ineasy-to-understand language. LabVIEW is a proprietary softwaretool by National Instruments and can be used to develop fairlycomplex instrumentation systems (measurement and control).Fridman and Mahajan combined Internet capabilities with traditionallaboratory exercises to create an ef cient environment tocarry out interactive on line lab experiments. Thus the virtual labcan be used from a remote location as a part of a distance learningstrategy. With this book you'll be capable of executing VIs (VirtualInstruments) speci cally developed for the experiment in questionproviding you with great ability to control the remote instrumentand to receive and present the desired experimental data.
