PREFACE
This manual comprises of four sets of laboratory experiments. They provide relevant but briefinformation on the principles, set-up procedures, theories, and instructions that act as guidelines forstudents to carry out the experiments properly.
Each experiment will be carried out in the groups assigned. Students must record the relevant data and
findings, which will be compiled into a lab report to be submitted prior to the next experiment.
Read the manual thoroughly prior to attending the lab. Upon entering the lab, students are expected to
fully observe the laboratory Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) regulations. Complete literatureof the HSE regulations is given in the following pages. Students will also be briefed by the labdemonstrator on the HSE aspects at the beginning of the coursework.

Do all the required lab work carefully and efficiently, and record all notes and data precisely.
Prepare lab reports promptly and follow the given format.
GROUND RULES
Students who are absent without a valid MC will be scored a zero for the respective lab report. Non-emergency or non-medical leaves must be pre-approved by the lecturer. No "make-up" labs will be allowed. Tardiness or lack of discipline during lab will be penalized. Lab reports are due 1 week after the attended lab session. Late reports will be penalized.

REPORT FORMAT
The lab reports must be a group effort. The entire report (texts, figures, graphs, equations, etc)must be hand writing. These basic requirements apply to all reports:
Each page must be numbered at the bottom center of the pages, and the report must be stapled or
firmly bound by other means (no paper clips or strings).
Lab reports should follow the generic format given below:
(a) COVER PAGE
title of experiment, group name, group members, lab section etc. (follow format of thecover page for this manual)
(b) INTRODUCTION
brief overview of experiment, objectives, applications
(c) THEORY
discussion on theory / formula related to the experiment, applicable test standards
(d) PROCEDURE In you own words, Write out the actual experimental procedure followed (which might
differ slightly from the standard procedure mentioned in the manual). List the
equipment/apparatus employed, test specimen details, step by step summary ofprocedure
(e) RESULTS
All tables, figures should include a brief description indicating from where the data came,what they show and how they compare to theoretical results. Also to include comparisonto theory (% error).
(f) DISCUSSIONS & CONCLUSIONS In this section, the results presented are analyzed and interpreted individually from the
context of strength of materials. (Try to explain WHY you get those results!) The logicshould support the conclusion section. Also discuss the implications of those results andhow do the results fit into a broader context. Pay attention to the errors existed in theexperiment, both where they originated and what is their significance in interpreting thereliability of conclusion.The conclusion highlights the major findings in the context of the
entire experiment; the objectives mentioned are revisited/examined to determine whether
the experiment succeeded.
All results must be explained and discussed - this means you should answer the
question "are these results what one expects or predicts?" with a complete
answer.

Conclusion
In this section you should write about the concepts that you learned in the laboratory and how
they relate to other aspects of the course or digital design in general. If you experienced
problems or obtained data that was incorrect, here is where you might elaborate on the causes
and ideas for solutions.
(g) REFERENCES list of reference used.
The texts of the report must be in your own words. Reproducing texts from the lab manual orother sources is not acceptable. Figures or other items reproduced from other sources must be
properly cited. Lab report must not exceed twelve (12) pages in length (including cover page andreferences).
TABLE AND PLOTTING GRAPHS FOR LAB REPORTS
Each Table and Figure should have an associated caption that provides a short description of thetable and figure. In a figure each axis must be labeled together with the symbol and the proper
units must be included, example length, (cm). The independent variable is always plottedalong the abscissa (x-axis), and the dependent variable on the ordinate (y- axis). If more than
one curve is to be plotted or data of different observation is to be included in the same figure,usedifferent symbols like squares, triangles etc to differentiate the different sets of data. Do
provide legend for the symbols. Use symbols only for experimental data. Theoretical
data/results should be presented with lines instead of symbols. Be sure to include all figures,
equations, and tables necessary.
Other hints
Remember that you are reporting on what has already been done - the past tense should beused. Avoid using first person unless absolutely necessary.
Technical reports include only "figures" and "tables". Do not use terms like "picture","appendix", or "code" to label illustrations or tables. All figures and tables must be numbered
and titled immediately after the figure or table, centered on the page. Include figures and
titles WITH the text as much as possible.
Number all pages, including appendices.

From the readings obtained on the Venturi meter and orifice plate calculate the volume flow
rate using the basic equation with relevant Cdfactor.
Calculate the actual flow rate using the volume and time measured. Compare these calculated values and thereading on the variable area meter with the actual
flow rate. Use same units.
Calculate the velocities at points 2 (venturi meter) and 7 (orifice plate) and discuss.
Also calculate the Reynolds number at these two points. VDRe
