Fluid Mechanics and ThermodynamicsWeekly Assessed Tutorial Sheets
Student Sheets: WATS 3.
The WATS approach to assessment was developed as part of an LTSN Engineering Mini-Project, funded at the University of Hertfordshire which aimed to develop a set of 'student unique' tutorial sheets to actively encourage and improve student participation within a first year first ‘fluid mechanics and thermodynamics’ module. Please see the accompanying Mini-Project Report “Improving student success and retention through greater participation and tackling student-unique tutorial sheets” for more information.
The WATS cover core Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics topics at first year undergraduate level. 11 tutorial sheets and their worked solutions are provided here for you to utilise in your teaching. The variables within each question can be altered so that each student answers the same question but will need to produce a unique solution.
FURTHER INFORMATION
Please see http://tinyurl.com/2wf2lfh to access the WATS Random Factor Generating Wizard.
There are also explanatory videos on how to use the Wizard and how to implement WATS available at http://www.youtube.com/user/MBRBLU#p/u/7/0wgC4wy1cV0 and http://www.youtube.com/user/MBRBLU#p/u/6/MGpueiPHpqk.

iv) the new volumetric fluid flow rate through the siphon (m3/s) 3 marksv) the new length to A→B (m) 2 marks
Take the atmospheric pressure as being equivalent to 10.17m head of water at 4ºC. You may assume that the density of water at 4ºC is 1000 kg/m3 and that the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s2. Pi = 3.142.
