Fluorescent dies require the help of ultraviolet light to detectdefects, while visual penetrants do not.Penetrant Testing is extensively used for NDT and NDE of materials utilized in the powergeneration, aeronautical and aerospace industries. Because its wide use, PT standards and testingspecifications have been established in the U.S. by professional organizations and by the military(Examples: MIL-STD-6866, ASTM E 1417) in order to ensure tests reliability and accuracy.Performance checks, for example, are required in reference to the “Star Burst” penetrant testingand monitoring

Transition to turbulence is a key conceptthat finds applications in chemical/mechanical/aerospace/civil engineering. This IRIM presents theresults of a sequence of flow visualization experiments where the flow rate is increased in steps.Students can easily visualize the qualitative difference between the steady, streamlined laminarflow and the chaotic turbulence. The student is also asked a number of questions along the waydealing with flow separation, velocity profiles, Bernoulli’s principle etc. The wavy channelgeometry can also be used to motivate discussion on modeling
