SAMPLE LOG BOOK: This is a log book
generated during an actual run through experiment
(names have been changed to protect the innocent). It is not a model, in
the sense that there
are omissions and mistakes (can you find them). It is intended
as a realistic example of
a log book that would be given full grade (i.e. an 'A'). Yellow text boxes
like this one have
been added in a few places throughout the log book to draw your attention
to some features.

Resolution is 0.1mBar, but the
Daniel reckons |
|
|
it can be read to 0.05 |

|
| Dowloading
photos while writing the logbokk seems to be a big pain - |
|
| will do
them in stages. |
|
| Easier to
write logbook pages at 75% zoom |

|
| 10am |
|
| Decided to
split into two groups |
|
|
Albert and Daniel doing the smoke
flow vis (sheet 2) |
|
|
George and Marie doing the oil
flowvis (see sheet 3) |
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Imported photos from digital
camera

Group met for closing meeting |
|
|
|
NOTE: Minutes of closing meeting given,
could do opening meeting too...
|
|
|

|
|
Albert/Daniel described smoke flow
vis & showed tunnel |
|
|
Marie points out that analysis of
stall locations vs. AOA still to be done |
|
|
George notes that processing photos
is pretty easy using MS Photo editor, inside MS Office |
|
|
Marie/George explained oil flow vis |
|
|
Albert points out, how do you know
what the real mixture was for the low speed flow vis. (don't know, will have
to explain in report) |
|
|
Marie asks if it matters that last
oil flow was incomplete, and no zero AoA cases were done? |
|
|
General agreement is that it
doesn't matter, as long as what was done is written up objectively and
complete - besides, low speed case does show some oil flow. |
|
|
Checked over grade sheet, asked TA
for Manometer data sheet (should be with tunnel?) - looks like accuracy is
0.5% full scale (2500Pa) |
