Instructions for Mechanical Lab -1

1) The laboratory classes will be conducted in three cycles as detailed below:

• First Cycle ( 3 classes)
• Ganga Engine + Open Cup Fire and Flash Point
• Two stage air compressor + Saybolt Viscometer
• Pressure gage+ Redwood Viscometer
• Second Cycle ( Three classes) : QUIZ-1
• Maruthi MPFI Engine Morse test
• Blower + Closed cup Tester
• Valve timing and compression ratio
• Third Cycle ( three classes): Quiz -2
• Planimeter
• Sand testing+ Hartnel governor demonstration
• Boy’s gas calorimeter + dryness fraction of steam
• Repetition of experiments for absentees ( 9th class)
• END SEM EXAM
2) A separate observation book must be maintained where experimental data will be
recorded and for rough calculations in the laboratory class.
3) Lab record writing to be done using the physics record book for the experiments
conducted in each class. Records must be submitted for evaluation one week after
completion of the experiments (immediate next week)
4) Lab record book should contain the following:
✓ Aim, Apparatus, Specifications and Procedure
✓ Observation data table
✓ Detailed specimen calculation
✓ Results table, Graph if any
✓ Conclusions based on the results obtained
✓ Line diagram of test rig with complete labelling
✓ VIVA question answers (question are given in the manual)
7. The evaluation breakup of the lab is as follows:
(a) Internal evaluation (60 marks)
o Record book submission (50 marks)
o Offline written two quizzes (10 marks)
✓ Quiz-1: at the end of Cyle-1 for 5marks
✓ Quiz-2: at the end of Cyle-2 for 5marks
The quiz will be based on the following components of learning in the laboratory:
• Experiment conduction
• Instructions by faculty
• Lab study material
(b) END SEM Evaluation:
o Final offline exam for 40 marks
