PNX Labs Thermal Fluids 101

# PNX Virtual Labs for Instrumentation, Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics This virtual lab package provides an immersive, interactive environment for exploring key principles in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and instrumentation. It includes experiments on heat transfer, fluid flow, and energy systems such as centrifugal pumps, Francis turbines, and wind tunnels. Users can analyze real-world phenomena like pipe friction, jet impact, and flow measurement, while also working with sensors including thermocouples and strain gauges. The package extends into electronics with practical applications of passive filters, band pass and stop filters, and operational amplifiers. Designed for education and training, it enables safe, repeatable experimentation with realistic simulations and data analysis tools.
