Experimental World

Sharing knowledge on experimental techniques and measurement instrumentation.

Experimental World is where FRIGUSON shares the experimental techniques and instrumentation know-how we've built up in the field and in research. We share what we've learned from designing and instrumenting thermal-fluid experiments with universities, research institutes, and fellow engineers.
