Air Force Academy (USAFA), most of the hands-on experiments in theApplied Mechanics Laboratory - Thermal Fluid Sciences (AML-TFS) curriculum have beenmostly purchased “turn-key” devices. For example, a small scale model steam power plant andtable-top demos are used for the three heat transfer mechanism. Although these experimentaldevices have mostly performed as designed, they were initially expensive to procure, can bedifficult to set up and coordinate with running a tight class schedule, and have had somereliability issues. Additionally, they can be difficult to scale up to a large number of studentgroups.The authors’ goal was to supplement the existing AML-TFS experiments with a new device todemonstrate the hydrostatic vacuum concept.
