On account of the simple apparatus, parameters such as tubinglength and the elevation of the water reservoir are easily varied. This allows students to carry outsuch valuable exercises as calibrating their analytical models to experimental results on abaseline configuration, and then investigating how well the calibrated model can predict the flowwhen the geometry is modified. The paper includes a description that will allow others to easilyreproduce the apparatus, and also reflections on the utility of the exercise as an educational tool.IntroductionDeveloping an ability to use a combination of analytical and experimental tools to solvetechnical problems

According to Healey andJenkins [24], learning styles reflect a diversity of environmental considerations including thoseattributable to gender and cultural differences. Willingham, et al.
