Laboratory experiments are a vital part of engineering education, which 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 question, providing you with great ability to control the remote instrumentand to receive and present the desired experimental data. | Heat Transfer Virtual Lab for Students and Engineers by Ella Fridman, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
