Final Project for the Fluids lab
It is a group project.
You need to submit a written proposal (report) in the end. Your proposed ideas are critical. The
experiment you design is a preliminary experiment to convince the reviewers that there are grounds
to what you proposed and you are capable to perform the work, eventually convince the reviewers
to fund your project.
The format of this proposal is based on research proposals with simplifications. National Science
Foundation, when they collect proposals from research groups, ask the proposer to explain why
his/her proposed research deserves tax money. Companies are similar, except that they put much
more emphasis on short-term applications than on long-term intellectual merit.
In proposals, we often put equal weight on “intellectual merit” and “broader impact”. Here we
focus on the broader impact so you need to explain why your project is meaningful.
• If your project does not satisfy “intellectual merit” (e.g., a minor modification of preexisting project), your project will be meaningful if the outcome from your project is
potentially useful for some practical purpose. NSF call this criterion “Broader Impact”
In your final proposal, please include the following sections:
A. Project description.
B. Introduction.
C. Broader impact (practical purpose).
D. Preliminary experiment design.
E. References
In the project description, give the reviewer a general idea about what you plan to do, how and
why. In the introduction, give the background information about what has been done, what exactly
you are proposing, and a plan to complete the project. In the broader impact, emphasize the
practical advantages this project will bring.
A proposed preliminary experiment is the only experiment you will design for this proposal. It
could be simple as long as it fits in the story of proposed work. For example, you are proposing
an innovated procedure to design effective pipe systems for new buildings particularly for a mixed
use of office and lab spaces. With the new design procedure, it is faster to create an effective
energy-saving pipe system for different buildings. To create such a design procedure, you need
funding to complete these tasks: survey the specific requirements, design the procedure (simulation
and experiments), testing, and deploy the new procedure. Now you need to write a proposal about
this and asking for funding to support your work. To secure the funding with a better chance, you
need to design/perform a preliminary experiment. You choose to use the friction experimental
apparatus and design a friction experiment to demonstrate how pipe configuration could affect the
energy consumption which can help design an energy-saving pipe system.
In the section of preliminary experiment design, please include:
(i) Description of Experimental design
(ii) Proposed experiment procedure
(iii) Predicted experimental results
(iv) Perform analysis based on predicted experimental results
(v) Conclusion
No need for error analysis.
It is your responsibility to fit the experimental design into the proposal.
After you read this document, you need to do the followings:
1. Check out the list of instruments we have in the lab in the last page of this document.
2. Please choose an instrument in the Fluids lab you propose to use in your designed
experiment. You may pick the same instrument you used before but your proposed
experiment needs to be different from the previous experiment you performed.
3. Please research the experiments from the lab manual could be performed with your choice
of the instrument.
4. Work on the proposal. To get predicted experimental results, please perform analysis with
the predicted experimental results (you may find example results in the lab manual). If
example results are not found, you will list all equations and theories clearly and create
your own data based on researching relative systems to use for the analysis.
5. Submit final report through Elearning by 5 pm on Nov 13th.
Thank you all!
P.S. No alcohol no weapons involved in the experimental design.
If you have trouble to come up a proposal, you should pick an instrument interests you the
most in the lab first to design the experiment, then work on the proposal based on your

experimental design, as every instrument has its unique meaning in understanding the
fundamentals of the fluids.
Here is a list of instruments we have in the lab in addition to those six equipment used in our
regular experiments.
