The development, testing, and classroom implementation of a low-cost, reproducible, desktop sized, highly visual double-pipe heat exchanger are presented. Quantitative measurements with the module reveal its usefulness for demonstrating basic and advanced convective heat transfer theory while worksheet-guided inquiries promote student engagement. Results from students’ conceptual and motivational assessments show the module and associated activities improve student conceptual understanding and student confidence and engagement.
