Extracurricular Activities in Bakewell and Derbyshire

On Saturday, June 27, the EIL students took a break from laboratory work to experience some of the local culture of Sheffield and the surrounding region.  Students with faculty and staff from the Diamond (Jo Mackenzie, Laura Wilson, Matt Jacobs, and Prof. Stephen Beck) broke into two groups for a trip to either the Chatsworth House in Derbyshire or the Monsail (Bike) Trail in Bakewell.  Profs. Berry and Dickerson joined the Chatworth House and Monsail Trail groups, respectively.,

Chatsworth House is a stately home in the Derbyshire Dales, 4 miles north-east of Bakewell and 9 miles west of Chesterfield, England. The seat of the Duke of Devonshire, it has belonged to the Cavendish family since 1549. 

Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer and Dynamics Laboratory (Day 3)

On Friday, June 26, the EIL students worked on their third and final laboratory assignment in the Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer and Dynamics Laboratory in the Diamond. The two major learning outcomes of the third laboratory assignment that focused on heat exchange were to determine i) the entropy production for both hot and cold streams, and ii) the total rate of entropy production for the Hilton heat exchanger apparatus.  This lab assignment was designed by Dr. Robert Woolley, Multidisciplinary Education, University of Sheffield.

Ultimate Frisbee (Ponderosa Park)

Taking a break before the upcoming final quizzes in ECE 301 and ME 331, several EIL students participated in a late afternoon (outdoor) game of ultimate frisbee in Ponderosa Park located just northwest of The Diamond.

Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer and Dynamics Laboratory (Day 2)

On Thursday, June 25, the EIL students worked on their second laboratory assignment in the Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer and Dynamics Laboratory in the Diamond. The two learning outcomes of the second laboratory assignment that was focused on heat engines were to i) visualize the conversion of heat to mechanical work using a simple apparatus, and to ii) calculate the efficiency for a heat engine. This lab assignment was designed by Dr. Robert Woolley, Multidisciplinary Education, University of Sheffield.
