AB  - A variety of natural and engineered systems from blood flow to water distribution networks require energy loss calculations. In fluid mechanics for example, a remote lab can help to mitigate issues around available lab resources, which typically are limited at universities. Calculations of energy loss are consequently an important component of Fluids labs within several engineering majors.  Using the interactive remote laboratory described in this paper, students are able to experiment in real time with the effects a pipe system has on energy losses. Making the lab equipment usable remotely, we are able to offer more and diverse options for self-guided experimentation experiences to the students.
 
This BYOE paper will outline the design, build and implementation of such a lab in an introductory fluid mechanics course. The BYOE demonstration will include details on different aspects of the system. For example, users are able to control flow rate, valve function, and pressure port readings in order to develop friction factor versus Reynolds number plots (Moody diagram) and calculate minor loss coefficients for fittings. The presented experiment allows us to use such remote lab environments for a student-centered learning experience in a class that otherwise does not have a laboratory component. We will focus on the possible assignments that can result from the multiple configurations of inputs/outputs for the system. Finally, we will share first, preliminary evaluation data from pilot tests with students.
