THEORY AND METHODOLOGY


You should discuss the relevant theory with relevant equations. Describe methodology (i.e. a schematic and/or block diagram of the experimental setup, methods used to gather data etc.). You can use figures etc. You should make the reader believe what you are doing is reliable and convincing. YOU SHOULD NOT REPEAT experimental procedure given in LAB SHEETS. The main question of this section is HOW will achieve the goal you described above. This section should not exceed two pages.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION


You should discuss the conditions (i.e. ambient temperature, pressure, steady state, flow rate, speed, etc.) while collecting the data and refer to the appendix for your data points. You can prepare plots, graphs, and tables etc. for presenting your results. YOU SHOULD INTERPRET THEM. Showing the results without proper explanation WILL NOT be accepted. You should not let readers to understand whatever they want from a plot. It is your job to explain these in detail. You can compare your results with relevant theory, another benchmark study etc. There is no page limit for this section.
