IV Evaluating experimental results
- Does the level of illuminance in the classroom meet the state regulations?
ll
Trang 12Department of Manufacturing Engineering Experiment on Measuring Illuminance The state regulations stipulate that the illuminance level in the classroom should fall within the range of 300-500 lux, yet the measured data fails to meet this requirement This discrepancy may be attributed to non-functional lamps in the room, which do not provide sufficient light, thus compromising the accuracy of the light meter This could occur due to faulty bulbs, or 1t might be a result of inaccurate or insufficient installation
of lamps to ensure uniform illumination throughout the room
Broken bulb
- Does the lighting conform to lighting techniques (even illuminance distribution, not too bright, not shady, .)?
12
Trang 13Department of Manufacturing Engineering Experiment on Measuring Illuminance The lighting in the room does not ensure specific lighting techniques The luminance distribution on the surface is uneven, which can be seen through the results of measuring the illuminance at 14 points in the classroom, creating black shadows at some points
Measurement area when all lights are turned on
- Comments and personal suggestions on lighting techniques in the classroom?
Consider the theoretical illuminance value of 360 lux and the actual illuminance after measurement is 260.93 lux with 12 light bulbs (and 2 broken bulbs) Using the three- power method, we can deduce that the number of light bulbs needed to install in the room is about 16 light bulbs

EXPERIMENT 2 MEASURING NOISE LEVEL
I OBJECTIVES
- Help students familiarize themselves with the NL-20 handheld noise meter
- Know how to set up position, measurement points, record the data and process the
measurement results
- Give individual or group comments, opinions on the status of noise pollution, propose specific measures to reduce noise
IL CONTENTS
As guided by the instructor, groups of students will observe, record, measure noise level
caused by the noise source, draw the noise level curve based on measured and calculated data,
then give comments
ACCORDING TO DISTANCE
If the typical noise level of the noise source (usually measured at a height of 1.5 m) is ata known distance rl from the noise source (r1 is usually equal to 1 m for noise from industrial machinery and equipment, and is equal to 7.5 m for noise sources from traffic vehicles), the noise level at a distance r2 from the noise source will be less than the noise level at the distance with rl and is determined according to the following formula:
¢ For point sources:
Where a is the noise absorption coefficient of terrain:
- For asphalt and concrete surfaces: a =- 0.1
- For empty land without tree: a = 0
- For arable land: a= 0.1

Measure the noise level, calculate and draw the noise level curve at a noise source point:
V.1 Select a noise point source which is a machine tool or an operating machine, equipment that is creating noise
V.2 Place or hold the meter at a height of 1.5 m away from the center of the noise source, put
the microphone in direction of the center of the noise source, measure the noise level (measured
in decibels - dB) and record the measured values (see the experimental equipment section to know how to manipulate) Only read round numbers to dB, no need to read odd numbers Every second read the number in syne with your breathing When encountering unusual numbers such
as too large, then ignore to make data processing be favorable Read and record approximately 30 values per measurement into the following tables

3) Determine the calculated noise level using the formula:
6,=L, — L,= 60.6 — 10.3 = 50.3 (dB) Hint: The noise level calculated according to the formula at the distance of 3m = the average value from Table I (at a distance of Im) - the noise reduction calculated according to the formula at the position of 3 m compared to I m
For example: the mean value of the measured result from Table I is 90 dB, the noise
reduction by formula (1) is calculated as 20 dB, the noise value calculated by the formula
is: 90 dB - 20 dB = 70 aB
4) Take the meter away from the 5 m noise source, then measure and record continuously
30 values into Table 3
