One of the advantages of LC-DLMs compared to other inexpensive learning tools is that LC-DLMs are designed based on industrial equipment. In Figures 2(a) and 2(b) we contrast the design of the double-pipe heat exchanger LC-DLM with a stacked industrial double-pipe heat exchanger used for heating sludge [16].

However, itbecame clear within the first week of lab that a) it was necessary to prevent the masks from beingexposed to individuals using the PPE table and b) students needed somewhere to place theirreusable / cloth masks after removing them. To address this, the instructor began placing eachmask in a plastic bag. Students could then remove and don the mask inside and place their clothmask into the empty bag.Compliance with mask requirements was excellent. There was only one occasion during the twosemesters in which the lab operated under COVID-19 policies when a student failed to complywith mask requirements. That case was early in the first semester, and the student had simplyforgotten to wear / bring a mask to lab.Despite requiring the viewing
