Re-evaluation of Assignment-2

Hi, When you check your assignment scores, some of you might have seen a score greater than 100 against your score for assignment 2. This was due to a calculation error in the backend and it has been rectified. Hence, assignment 2 was re-evaluated and now, your scores are out of 100. Please note this change when you check your score card/progress. For the registered candidates, hope you found the exam engaging. If you have any queries, you may post in the forum. Best Regards Course Staff

IMPORTANT : regarding exam hall ticket

Hi,

  • If your photo or signature is missing in your hall ticket, you can use the same hall ticket but will have to carry one valid photo ID card to support your hall ticket.


  • If your photo is mixed up another student's i.e. a wrong photo is shown in your hall ticket, then too you can use the same hall ticket but will have to carry one valid photo ID card to support your hall ticket.


  • If there is a mistake in your name, date of birth or photo, please write to nptel@iitm.ac.in with your hall ticket number and the details of the course so that the changes can be incorporated in the certificates. If you do not notify them, the mistakes will be repeated in the certificates also, rendering them useless. So please make a note of this. There is no point in notifying the exam invigilators about this issue.


All registered candidates please make a note of the above information.

If you have any queries please post them in the forum.


Best Regards
Course Staff

week 7 lectures & assignment published

Hi,

The lectures and assignment for week 7 have been published.

This week we will discuss the flow through Converging-Diverging (C-D) nozzles. Last week we saw that when the flow through a converging nozzle is choked, the Mach number at the throat section remains at Mach 1 even if the back pressure is further reduced. With a C-D nozzle instead of a converging nozzle, the flow dynamics inside the nozzle varies. Learn more about this flow in this week's lectures.

The assignment 7 is due on 9 March 2016 23:59 hrs IST.


Please post your queries/suggestions in the forum. We will try to answer them within 2 days time.

Dear student

Welcome to NPTEL Online Courses and Certification!

Thank you for signing up for our online course "  Fundamentals of Gas Dynamics". We wish you an enjoyable and informative learning experience.

The course will begin on January 18 2016. When content is released on the portal, you will get an email alerting you. Please watch the lectures, follow the course regularly and submit all assessments and assignments before the due date. Your regular participation is vital for learning.

We will open registration for the exam 2 weeks after the course starts. A form has to be filled and the certification exam has a fee, which needs to be paid at the time of registration. Everyone who has signed-up for the course, including those who do not register for the exam, will continue to have access to the course contents.

There are two sections on the portal apart from the course content and assignment sections:

•    The announcement list which will only have messages from course instructors and teaching assistants - regarding the lessons, assignments, exam registration, hall tickets etc. 
    
•    The discussion forum which is for everyone to ask questions and interact - If you have any questions regarding the technical content in the lectures, any doubts in the assignments or any question related to the exam, registration, hall tickets, results, etc, kindly write about this in the forum and the course instructor/TA will respond to it. Please use this well and participate to benefit from the course.
