Mechanical Engineering

A basic knowledge of Fluid mechanics and machinery is essential for all the scientists and engineers because they frequently come across a variety of problems involving flow of fluids such as in aerodynamics, force of fluid on structural surfaces, fluid transport. The lab is well-equipped and enables students to understand the fundamentals of properties of fluids and governing equations like continuity, impulse-momentum equation and Bernoulli’s equation. Working on pumps and turbines give the students an industrial like exposure and helps them in placements.

Strength of materials laboratory is well equipped with destructive testing machineries. Different types of tests are being conducted in this laboratory to know the various mechanical properties of a material such as young’s modulus, shear modulus, hardness, toughness, deflection, fatigue strength etc. All the equipment’s are properly calibrated and tested by the manufacturer in a periodic manner. Students are also utilizing this lab for the testing of specimen like composite materials, ferrous and non-ferrous alloys.

Manufacturing technology provides the tools that enable production of all manufactured goods. These master tools of industry magnify the effort of individual workers and give an industrial nation the power to turn raw materials into the affordable, quality goods essential to today’s society manufacturing process are the steps through which raw materials are transformed into a final product. Students are trained in the various operations that can be performed in lathe, shaper, drilling, milling machines etc. and to equip with the practical knowledge required in the core industries.

The Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing Laboratory exploits the brilliance and inspiration of students, blending them proportionately to bring out innovation and creativity. The lab acts as a central facility for concept design and product realization of mechanical products.

The Kinematics and Dynamics lab offers the students to understand machine dynamics. The working models of simple mechanisms like gears, cams and followers are very much useful to understand Basic mechanisms for students. The objective of this lab is to impart practical knowledge on design and analysis of mechanisms in the machine tools.

The Thermal lab provides lot of opportunity to the students to study different types of IC engine and to do their innovative projects. The performance test, heat balance test, the retardation test and emission test can be carried in variety of IC engines like petrol / diesel / biodiesel fueled with single / double / multi cylinder engines with modern mechanical / electrical loading devices. This lab also offers the Mechanical Engineering Students to make them understand the principles of conduction, convection, Radiation boiling and Condensation modes of heat transfer and principles of Refrigeration and Air Conditioning.

Metrology is the science of measurement. Metrology Lab in our department is equipped with various measuring instruments, gauges and measuring machines. It makes the students to understand the basic principle involved in measuring process that suits for the respective product and its importance in the quality control (Control charts & process capability). The students are exposed to learn about the error involved in the measurements, calibration of measuring instruments.

Automation plays a major role in industry for making defect free products with improved productivity. The objective of this lab is to familiarize in fluid power automation and different components of Hydraulics, pneumatics, electro hydraulic / electro pneumatic and PLC based systems. The virtual simulation experiments are based on electro pneumatic, electro hydraulic and PLC based systems.
