FLUID MECHANICS 1 POPBL

BDA 20603 SEM 1 SESSION 2016/2017

TITLE : APPARATUS FOR DESCRIBING THE FLUID MECHANICS
PRINCIPLE

Synopsis

In this project, students are required to design and fabricate a simple laboratory

apparatus describing the principle of Fluid Mechanics learn in this course. A series

of test or experiments need to be performed at various experimental parameters.

The video clip of the experiment need to be captured and is required to be

submitted together with the project report.

Task

1. This project must be conducted in group maximum of 5 students.

2. Students are required to propose the project title associated with topics learned

in this course.

3. Choose a topic from a list** (each topic is limited to one or two groups only

based on 1st come 1st serve basis) and outline how you will carry out the

project based on the project requirements.

4. Present the proposal to your lecturer and the approval must be done before 12

pm Thursday 20th October 2016.

3. Once the proposal is approved, students can begin with the design work

and continue with the fabrication work based on the final design of the

apparatus.

4. This apparatus then must be tested at various design or experimental

parameters.

5. Capture the video clip of the experiment and burn it into CD in mp4 or .mwv

format and it is required to be submitted together with the project report.

6. The project report then also need to be prepared and the format of the report

must be nearly followed the UTHMs THESIS format. The content of the report

must be included the following items:

i. Table of Content
 ii. CHAPTER 1 : INTRODUCTION

iii. CHAPTER 2: LITERATURE REVIEW

iv. CHAPTER 3 : METHODOLOGY

v. CHAPTER 4: RESULTS & DISCUSSION

vi. CHAPTER 5 : CONCLUSION

vii. REFERENCES

viii. ATTACHMENTS

7. Besides that, the report must be addressed the following items:

Identify Design Requirement

Identify Design Component and Component Selection

Final Design

Fabrication and testing at various parameter

Determine the apparatus capabilities
