STUDENTS GUIDELINES
There are 3 hours allocated to a laboratory session in Thermal engineering. It is a necessary
part of the course at which attendance is compulsory.
Here are some guidelines to help you perform the Experiments effectively:
Read all instructions carefully and proceed according to that.
Ask the faculty if you are unsure of anything experiment or any concept.
Write up full and suitable conclusions for each experiment.
