semester. As a reminder, the heat transfer cannotbe directly determined from a P-V diagram. This part of the task requires students to use the FirstLaw, ∆U = Q − W , and knowledge of the work and internal energy comparisons from the othersections of the task. We have also created a one-dimensional work task (see Fig. 2) appropriate for students in ourintroductory courses. In this task, students compare the net work done in propelling a cart the samedistance using two different propulsion methods. We have also altered the phrasing from a questionto a statement. This task differs in two main ways from the P-V task. First, the variables aren’tstate variables. We would need to use tension and extension to get the equivalent one-dimensionaltask and

visualization is the determination of the airspeed or flow rate in the ductmodel. The airspeeds are too small for the normal wind tunnel measurement system whichmakes use of the pressure drop in the wind tunnel converging section resulting from theBernoulli effect. An indirect method is possible, by measuring the volumetric flow rate supplied Page 14.208.7to the rake manifold from the smoke generation system. If the total volumetric flow rate of aircontaining smoke is Q, then the average discharge velocity from N identical rake tubes will be U= Q/(NA), where A is the internal cross-sectional area of a single typical rake tube.

Some of the analysis problems were related to how the input loads andrestraints were determined, rather than the use of the software itself. During the Q/A session,some groups had difficulty justifying the reasons for some of their decisions related to theiranalysis. It should also be noted that the high standard deviation for “Goals/Criteria” was due tothe lack of clarity in the purpose of the analysis (i.e. with respect to their optimization) by two ofthe groups.

The pressure drop along the pipe was determined using the fourmanometers integrated with the pipe and positioned 3.0 inches apart. The uncertainty involumetric flow measurements that ranged between Q = +/- 1 ml/s at low flow rates (10ml/s) to Q = +/- 2 ml/s at high flow rates (30 ml/s). The uncertainty in the pressuremeasurements using the integrated manometers was +/- 2 mm H2O or +/- 20 Pa.The pipe flow/head loss experiment shown in Fig. 3 was characterized by measuring thepressure drop along the
