This paper describes a fluid property experiment used in an introductory level Thermodynamics course. The Thermodynamics course is geared to introducing students to fundamental principles and their applications, including fluid property relationships. This paper presents a unique experimental apparatus, designed and built at Oakland University, to introduce students to indirect measurement techniques for measuring properties that cannot be directly measured; specifically, properties such as saturated vapor density and heat of vaporization as a function of saturation temperature. Typical results of students?ˉ experiences will be presented.
