| Here are two students (Billy and Noah) in front of the Flow System at UTC. |  |
| This is the water reservoir that supplies the water to the pump. |  |
| The beige cable that comes out takes the signal voltage from the computer to the motor speed power supply. This is sometimes called an Inverter. This is sometimes called a Variable-Voltage-Variable-Frequency unit (VVVF). It supplies a variable voltage at a variable frequency to the motor. |  |
| This is the motor that drives the pump |  |
| These are the two motor-operated valves. |   |
| This is the Flow Sensor. It is a Coriolis Force Flow meter. It is made by MicroMotion. It was a gift to UTC. |  |
| This is the Flow Transmitter. It has a visual display of the flow rate (lb/min), density and temperature of the flowing stream. |  |
| The Flow Transmitter (FT) sends a signal voltage through the black cable back to the terminal box and then back to the computer |  |
| The equipment cable goes into this terminal box |  |
| The computer data acquisition board is connected to the Connector Block and then the cable to the equipment |  |
