Thesis flowchart...aka...How to decide what to write first in your thesis?

It was that moment in my thesis writing when I had received a terrible feedback and was asked to overhaul the entire document. It was time to take a break from the screen and go back to basics. I printed out my document and went home. Then I took a break that evening, because it is one of the most underrated but essential things to get everything into perspective.


The next day I proceeded to lay out the pages of my thesis chapter-wise on the table. Then I took a blank paper and pad. I thought, "How will I explain my work to my family members in my native language?" So I decided to write down my work in my native language in the form of an algorithm and then rearrange my thesis.

I answered the following questions to do so -

  1. What is the issue?
  2. Where is it encountered?
  3. Is it very common?
  4. What makes it so very important?
  5. What are the steps that people have already taken to solve it?
  6. Why have they not been that effective?
  7. What is it that I did to solve the issue?
  8. How did I do it?
  9. What were the exact steps that I followed?
  10. What did I observe?
  11. How were these observations different or similar to what the literature states?
  12. What did I learn?
  13. What will I do in future?

Put the answers to these questions in the form of a flowchart.

Corrosion loop is used to simplify inspection procedures in refining processes. Corrosion loop is defined as a group of components with common materials, processes, and operating parameters.  Source: Rachman, A. and Ratnayake, R.M.C. (2020), "Corrosion loop development of oil and gas piping system based on machine learning and group technology method", Journal of Quality in Maintenance Engineering, Vol. 26 No. 3, pp. 349-368. https://doi.org/10.1108/JQME-07-2018-0058 It is needed when the scenario has - 1.

Electrochemical testing - part 3- What does an ammeter do?

By
 Electrochemical testing - 3 - Ammeter Poll Question WITH Answers: Description: Tafel polarization is a potentiodynamic test, where the potential is changed at a certain mV/time rate. The changes in the current flow occurring due to the potential change are measured using the ammeter. The ammeter is connected between the working electrode and the counter electrode. It is NOT connected to the reference electrode in any way .
