The apparatus has two transparent tanks, mounted one above the other. A variable-speed pump transfers water from the reservoir (in the base of the unit) into the upper tank. PLC Process gives students and engineers practical experience of the principles and application of programmable logic controllers (PLCs). The object is to connect and program an external, programmable logic controller to monitor and control the level and flow rate of water in a two-tank system. The pump control is on or off, but a manual control allows the user to set the speed. A float switch in the reservoir monitors the level of water. The water can drain down to the lower tank and then back into the reservoir. Solenoid valves may be individually opened or closed to control and redirect the movement of the water.

The Natural Vibration on a Ship model can be used tomeasure and record the natural frequencies and modes of a model ship. Thesimple, idealised ship shape makes it easier to approach the problemmathematically. The experiment-basedvibration analysis is an essential component in shipbuilding design anddevelopment. The plastic model ship has nine ribs and an elliptical lineplan. The model ship is attached to a rigid cross-member by springs. Theenclosed box cross-section with high rigidity means the natural frequency ofthe cross-member is negligibly high. The Natural Vibration on a Ship model unit helps studentstake their first steps in the field of experimental vibration analysis or modalanalysis of structures. Using this trainer, the dynamic behaviour of a shipstructure is studied, teaching students the fundamentals of experimentalvibration analysis. Inthis manner, the transfer functions for various points of the model ship can begenerated step by step. These can be used to determine the vibration modes forvarious natural frequencies. An electrodynamic vibration exciter causesthe model ship to vibrate. A function generator produces the excitation signal,which can be adjusted in amplitude and frequency. An arbitrarily positionableacceleration sensor measures the models response to the excitation signal.

The primary separation operation for crude oil occurs when the crude stream flows through a vessel of sufficient capacity to allow gravity separation of the gas, liquid hydrocarbon and water phases. The three phase separator demonstration apparatus is a small scale vessel that performs continuous separation of a mixture of oil, air and water. The process has manual control valves with rotameters and is intended to demonstrate oilfield separation principles with basic visual manual operation. It is available in horizontal and vertical orientations. This trainer includes a clear horizontal primary separator vessel.

The rolling thin film oven (RTFO) test is used to measure the effect of heat and air on a moving film of semisolid asphalt binder. The results of this treatment are determined from measurements of the binder properties before and after the test. The superpave PG binder specification looked for tests which would closely simulate field performance. Hotmix asphalt binder experiences significant aging during the manufacturing and laying process. Repeat ability of the test is directly related to the accuracy with which the oven temperature can be maintained and the re producibility of the thermal rise time of the system. Investigating this phenomenon within a laboratory environment, with a repeatable and simple test is very useful within the design process.
