that regardless of the valve(s) position, the water levels are equal for no-flowconditions.Instrument DescriptionThe Hydrodynamic Wheatstone Bridge (HWB) shown in Figure 1, was designed for use as ahands-on lab instrument. It utilizes a 1000 mL graduated cylinder filled with water and placedadjacent to the bridge to create the applied pressure (voltage) to the pipe network (circuit).Swagelok valves represent the four strain gages in the legs of the circuit. The valves areconnected by ¼" OD tubing and 45º brass fittings. Manometer tubes, (Fig. 2) are located in-between the valves, allowing the students to measure the water column height or head (voltage)and the changes caused by opening or closing one or more valves. The valves can be adjusted

tocommunicate with the Arduino is extremely easy to install because it is an Add On inMATLAB®. The code to set up the input and output channels is simpler to understand sostudents would hopefully not be frustrated by a bunch of pre-written code that seemedmysterious. The wiring would be simpler since students would not have to use a screwdriver tosecure wires into a terminal. The Arduino is significantly cheaper than the myDAQ so it wouldbe possible to purchase additional units, allowing students to work in groups of two rather thanthree.Bibliography1. M. J.

Netscape also allowed experiments andsimulations to be viewed or controlled over the web in real time or near real-time.One of the earliest applications of this real-time use of browsers was a camera thatwatched a coffee pot at Cambridge University2.

by f = 0.316/Re¼. For rough pipe flow the friction factor can be determined from the well- known Moody chart. The velocity profile for fully developed laminar pipe flow is parabolic in shape but there are four different layers of the turbulent pipe flow velocity profile including viscous sub- layer, buffer layer, overlap layer and the turbulent layer. Experimental turbulent pipe velocity profiles are often compared with the power law velocity profile. The influence of rotation on pipe flow is determined by the swirl number S = Uw /Um where Uw =D/2 is the velocity of the pipe wall and  is the angular velocity of the rotating pipe.

Additionally, the integrated circuit employed is very simple and the studentsmust actually encode and decode the actual "1's and 0's" of the message at the very lowest level.For most students, this represents their first exposure to wireless systems and communicationsconcepts. We expose the students to error detection techniques at both the bit and message level,and introduce very rudimentary methods of implementing a messaging protocol. Additionally,although it is rather ad hoc, the students develop a sense of the directionality of the on-boardantenna, and gain insight as to how noise affects achievable communications rates.

A Pitot-static (Prandtl) tube is mounted at the front of the testsection to measure the static and impact pressures required to determine the flow velocity. Thedynamic pressure from the Pitot-static tube is measured using a Betz manometer, which isremotely observable using a webcam.The pressure from the airfoil pressure taps is measured using a Scanivalve® pressure transducersystem that
