Course Outcomes:

On successful completion of this course students will be able.

• Identify, name, and characterize flow patterns and regimes.
• Write basic units of measurement, convert units, and appreciate their magnitudes.
• Measure fluid pressure and relate it to flow velocity.
• Demonstrate practical understanding of friction losses, coefficient of discharge and efficiency in internal flows and pumps.
• Explain fluid flow in channels and application of flow meters and notches.
• Demonstrate the ability to write clear lab reports.

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.
