Control of this device is analogous to control through a flexible manipulator,except that the system is simplified to one-dimensional motion.

The Reynolds number of transition was demonstrated to vary fromthe accepted value of 2300, depending on tube inlet geometry. Finally, experimentallydetermined values of pipe friction factor were plotted against Reynolds number, and found toclosely match the classic Moody Diagram. A pedagogical approach is developed along with theexperiment facility, and is also described in detail.Introduction The development of an undergraduate engineering laboratory is challenging, because alaboratory serves two sometimes distinct sets of goals.

A funding program in the 1980’s helped to revitalize some of the engineering lab facilities;however, many objectives were unfulfilled.
