Course Outcomes:

At the end of the course the student will be able to:

• Record observations systematically and arrive at required results based on experiments conducted.
• Study and design different flow measuring instruments.
• Understand and Estimate the shape and size of irregular particles

Conduct of Practical Examination:

1. All laboratory experiments are to be included for practical examination.

2. Breakup of marks and the instructions printed on the cover page of answer script to be strictly adhered by the examiners

3. Students can pick one experiment from the questions lot prepared by the examiners.

4. Change of experiment is allowed only once and 15% Marks allotted to the procedure part to be made zero.
