Course Outcomes (COs):
CO1: To enable the student to perform test and evaluate the performance of IC engines, Blowers and simple thermal engineering units like refrigeration units.
CO2: To enable the student to evaluate the heat transfer under steady state laboratory conditions by tests in simple units involving conduction, convection and radiation.
CO3: To enable the student to characterize flow measuring devices, characterize performance of fluid machines and assess flow losses by simple pipe flow test.
CO4: To equip the student with the capability of demarcating various errors and uncertainties in their measurements and proper quantify the same.
