In this course, students will be provided with an orientation programme on the following equipment/software for duration of 15 hours. After this orientation, each student is expected to formulate and complete an activity of interest which has to be derived from the orientation programme under the guidance of a faculty. The details like background, problem definition, state of technology/knowledge in that area by a good literature review (5 latest papers), objectives, methodology, equipment that can be used (from the orientation programme), results from the experiments and their interpretation will respect to the assumption/background and a formal conclusion are expected in the report which is to be submitted at the end of the semester. This work is evaluated for the credit assigned. Expected hours needed for this work is 45 hours.
TOPICS FOR THE ORIENTATION PROGRAMME
1. Pollutant analysis using orsat apparatus
2. Air pollution analysis using flue gas analyzer
3. Measurement of COD for liquid effluents
4. Settling studies
