1. OBJECTIVE (uppercase/heading 1/times new roman/pts 14)

Describe the title of the experiment. Including the aim i.e. why do you think this experiment is
performed? (Normal/times new roman/12)

2. APPARATUS (uppercase/heading 1/times new roman/pts 14)

Enlist the equipment and measuring instruments used in this experiment. (Normal/times new
roman/12)

 Use these bullets to list the equipment

3. METHODOLOGY (uppercase/heading 1/times new roman/pts 14)

Include all the steps required to perform that experiment. It must be concise yet include all the
authentic details of the performance. (Normal/times new roman/12)

 Enlist all the steps required for performance

4. READING (uppercase/heading 1/times new roman/pts 14)

Make proper table with quantities and its units. At least two significant digits must be included.
Caption the table properly i.e. caption it above the table as shown: (Normal/times new roman/12)

Table 1: Effect of Knob position of wind tunnel on Total drag of an airfoil

Knob Position Velocity (m/s) Cd Drag (N)

1 5.00 17.60 0.10 19.05
2 6.00 18.60 0.20 42.55
3 7.00 19.60 0.30 70.87
4 8.00 20.60 0.40 104.39

5. CALCULATIONS (uppercase/heading 1/times new roman/pts 14)

This section should include at least one calculation of a reading. All the equations and
calculations must be on left. (Normal/times new roman/12)

1
D = 2 ρV 2 Scd

Where

D: Total drag

ρ: Density

V: Velocity of free stream

S: Span Area

cd : Coefficient of drag

Clearly describe the reading number and the values you have taken

Reading 1 is taken for calculation where:

Knob setting=5.00, V=17.6 m/s and cd =0.1

And ρ = 1.23 kg/m3 and S=1 m2 as this is an airfoil at sealevel

D = 2 ρV 2 Scd

1
D = 2 ∗ 1.23 ∗ 17.62 ∗ 1 ∗ 0.1

D =19.05 N

DO NOT WRITE ANYTHING ELSE ON THIS PAGE

Note: Sample calculations should be as per given specimen.

6. RESULTS (uppercase/heading 1/times new roman/pts 14)

Write about what you conclude after performing this experiment. Include results of experiment
in the form of graphs and discuss the trend relating it with theory. EVERY PERSON OF THE
GROUP HAS TO WRITE IT INDIVIDUALLY. (Normal/times new roman/12)

Include the screen shot of MATLAB code or Excel sheet through which graphs are drawn.

6.1. Mat LAB Code

Marks: 2pts

6.2. Graphs and comment

Marks: 3pts

Figure 1: Mat lab graph showing drag variation with velocity

Comments: write what you understand from this graph relating theory with experiment.

7. DISCUSSION
Write detailed discussion on the results obtained in the previous section and correlate with the
theoretical values or any established results.

8. CONCLUSION (uppercase/heading 1/times new roman/pts 14)

Write your own individual conclusion what you learned and gained from this experiment.

IT MUST BE INDIVIDUAL OTHERWISE ALL WILL BE MARKED ZERO. (Normal/times new

roman/12)
