57:020 Mechanics of Fluids and Transfer ProcessesReport FormatSection 1 : Title Page 2 points - Course name- Title for the report- “Submitted to : “ Instructor's name- Your name- Your affiliation (Group, Section, Department)- Date of report submittalSection 2 : Table of Contents 1 points- Headings of subsequent sections and the page they first appearSection 3 : Introduction 10 points- Statement of the problem to be studied in the lab- Description of the basic physics involved in this problem- Statement of hypothesis to be verified or question to be answered by this experimentSection 4 : Data Analysis 25 pointsSeparate Data Analysis into sub-sections on “Data Acquisition” (the quantitiesthat were directly measured and “Data Reduction” (quantities derived from theraw data through further computation).a) Data Acquisition (10 points)- Table of raw data, with units and captionsb) Data Reduction (15 points)- State the data reduction equations used in the analysis- Sample calculations for derived data, showing how each quantity was computed- Table(s) of derived data, with units and captionSection 5 : Uncertainty Analysis 20 points- Determine (state) uncertainty components for the measured variables- Determine uncertainty components and overall uncertainty for the resultsSection 6 : Comparison with Reference Data and Discussions 25 pointsWith the results of the experiment having been presented clearly andconcisely, there arises the need to comment on their validity; so acomparison with theory or similar experimental work is crucial- Brief statement of pertinent theory (3 points)- Plot the results using the overall uncertainty determined in Section 5 anddiscuss possible systematic errors and measurements responsible for theuncertainty in the data. Compare experimental results with theory (13 points)- A discussion of the trends observed in the results, and what these suggest of the theory and initial hypotheses (5 points)- Restate the experiment's objectives and describe how the (2 points) questions raised in the Introduction were resolved.- Describe further work or alternative ways to accomplish the objectives. (2 points)Section 8 : Further Considerations 15 points- Provide short answers to the questions addressed in the homologous section of the Lab handoutSection 9 : References 2 points--------------------- 100 pointsComments :1. The distinction between Data Acquistion and Data reduction must be remembered :- The Data Acquisition is simply a bare presentation of the measured (raw) variables.- The Data Reduction uses the above data to address the question(s) or hypothesis posed in the experiment’s purpose.2. The following conventions in a graphical presentation should be followed :- Experimental data are plotted using symbols; different symbols for different quantities or cases.- Theoretical curves should be continuous lines.- The axes should be properly labeled; variable names and units should be specified.- The figures should be numbered and
