Course Highlights
|
|
|
|
The teaching and research activities of the Department of Mechanical
Engineering are grouped in Thermal Engineering, Fluid Mechanics, Industrial & Production
Engineering and Machine Design. A brief overview of the major Laboratories, facilities
available and the academic activities is given in the following lines :
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Thermal engineering is a fundamental discipline in Mechanical Engineering
and plays a key role in Industries related to power plants, automobiles and aircraft,
manufacturing, pollution control, energy & alternative fuels and related technologies.
|
|
|
|
Heat Transfer Lab : Experimental facilities for
determination of thermal conductivity, Stefan-Boltzman constant, emissivity and heat
transfer coefficient of working fluids in various configurations of heat exchangers,
extended surfaces and condensing units, heat transfer studies on Heat Pipe and during
Pool boiling are available. A new model for heat flow through macrolayers in pool boiling
at high heat flux has also been proposed.

Combustion and Pollution Control Lab : This Laboratory
is equipped with pollution Monitoring Instruments(Chemiluminiscent NOx, Gas Filter
Correlatio CO, Infrared Carbon-Di-Oxide, Flame Ionization Total hydrocarbon,
Electrochemical oxygen analyser, Smoke meter, Sample Conditioning and Sample
Transfer System for online quantification of major pollutants. A Hilton's continuous
combustion unit, Diffusion Burners and domestic burners are available for UG/PG
experiments. Research work is being carried out on the combustion charechteristics and
quantification of Pollutants using conventional and synthetic fuels. Burning velocity
measurement studies are performed using a constant volume combustion bomb. A
Computerized Diesel Engine Facilty couped with an eddy current dynamometer and an
AVL smoke meter has been recently added t conduct research work using biodiesel &
synthetic fuels.
|
|
|
|
Internal Combustion Engines Lab : A large number of
old and new , 2 & 4-stroke, compression and spark Ignition Engines fully equipped with
eddy current/Hydraulic Dynamometers, and related instruments are available for
undergraduate, graduate and research level experimental work. A maruti engine is a
recent addition. Research work on the modelling of 2 & 4-stroke engine cycle process is
in progress.
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Computing Systems Lab : The Department has
adequate computing facilities with a DEC workstation, a dual processor machine
and more than 40 computers of different configurations. The facilities are supported
with relevant software packages. Every Undergraduate has access to computing facilities.
In addition to the facilities in the department, the University runs a Computer Center as a
Central Facility. The center has about 100 nodes running on VMS and Unix Operating
Systems besides Internet Facility.
|
|
|
|
Steam Power Lab : A 40 HP, 5-stage steam turbine,
Cornish Boiler, surface condensor and converging diverging steam nozzle are
available for an actual power plant study and related experiments. A modern boiler is
also installed alongwith the Cornish Boiler. For students demonstration of fundamental
concepts, we have retained Babcock Wilcox and simple vertical boilers, Marshal
Horizontal and vertical steam engines, various types of pumps, accessories and control
valves.
|
|
|
|
Fluid Mechanics Lab : A low speed wind tunnel, an
open jet wind tunnel, DANTEC hot wire anemometer, and Data Aquisition System and
facilities for routine fluid flow experimental studies are available. On the machines side,
Kaplan turbine, Francis Turbine, Pelton Turbine and various types of pumpa and Ram
are available for specific performance and charechteristic study. A microprocessor
application laboratory & computational fluid dynamic laboratory are recent additions.
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Machine Design Lab : The courses offered in the area
of Machine Design include the design of machine elements, kinematics and dynamics
of machines, machine drawings and computer graphics, solid mechanics, non-linear
and random vibrations, experimental stress analysis, tribology etc.
The facilities avalable are located in computer graphics lab, stress analysis lab. &
Tribology Lab. and machinery dynamics lab. These include universal testing machine,
IEICOS 5-channel Digital Strain Indicator, facilities for performing various experiments
related to vibrations. Thruston Pendulum(for the measurement of coefficient of friction),
Torsion Testing Machine, forced Damped Vibration etc. In addition to these also available
are :
Photo elastic bench, FFT analyser, Vibration meter, Seismometer, Function Generator,
Charge Amplifier, Vibration Exciters, Accelerometers, 100 Mhz 4-channel Tektronics digital
storage oscilloscope, Pneumatic Gun for dynamic loading on plates, Dynamic Balancing
Machine etc.
|
|
|
|
Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Lab : For undergraduate
experimental work, facilities such as Ice Plant, a vapour compression refrigeration tutor, a
two-stage reciprocating air compressor and various control devices are available.
Research work is being carried out in the area of heat and mass transfer analysis of food
preservation.
