Triple Falling-Ball Viscometer Small-Scale Pipeline System

Abstract

The purpose of this project is to design and build two lab components (The Flexible Triple Falling-Ball Viscometer and Small-Scale Pipeline) used in the fluid mechanics classes at Miami University. These components are being designed, built, and tested so they can be reproduced for both Miami campuses and regional locations. With this in mind we developed the following goals:

● To design and build lab components for Miami University’s fluid mechanics classes. ● Provide components which will give the student an opportunity to learn and apply concepts and principles learned within the class. This project will enhance our experience and understanding in our field of study, as well as provide others with components to enhance theirs also.
