Abstract – This paper describes a laboratory course Unit on Heat Transfer phenomena designed, inter alia, for training of undergraduate students taking entry level programmes in Civil, Chemical and Process Engineering. The course was designed and developed as part of the Comlab2 project. The experiments involve many innovative features that enable traditionally difficult experiments to be performed quickly and easily and, if desired, in an open-ended manner. The data acquisition hardware and software required are non- specific in that pre-configured set-ups and sample data files are provided for many commercially available low cost data acquisition systems as well as the eProlab system developed within the project.
