phase II of Experimental work, Data analysis and Dissertation, Viva-voce

Theory: Role of metrology in aerospace engineering and traditional measurement practices – measurements of form errors – limit gauges – comparators – surface roughness and related parameters.

Experiments: Lab practice on linear and angular measurements – optical measurements – mea- surement of screws/gears – measurement of form errors – measurement of roughness – inspection practices using comparators – interpretation of shop floor drawings and the related measurement exercises using typical engineering/aerospace components.

Measurements using Pitot-static tube for gas (air) flow – Orifice-meter and venturi-meter for liquid (water) flow through pipe – Laminar and turbulent flow through pipes, pressure drop – Thermal conductivity measurements of solids – Heat transfer by radiation – Forced and natural convection – Heat exchangers: LMTD, pressure drop – heat transfer coefficient – Pump and turbine efficiencies – CoP of vapor compression refrigeration cycles – Efficiency and BHP of SI and CI engines – Performance test of compressors and blowers.

Introduction to Social Sciences: Natural science and social science – social science perspective: char- acteristics – the general theory of social science: Comte, Durkheim, Marx – subdivisions of social sciences: sociology, anthropology, ethnography, political science, economics, psychology and philoso- phy – social science and space.
