The CAD laboratory in Mechanical Engineering, wherein all the students & faculty can work with 2-D and 3-D design and analysis packages. The users are encouraged to learn, practice and apply the knowledge gained in their specific areas. Initially this facility is introduced mainly for students to evolve concepts and convert it into a complete product. The CAD lab provides digitally integrated environment where the users can design, analyze, and simulate models.
The Fluid Mechanics & Laboratory consists of Flow measurement devices, Head losses measurement in pipe flows, Flow characteristic Hydraulic pumps and turbines. The students will understand their theoretical knowledge of fluid mechanics. The students are encouraged to operate the experimental test rig to know the operational procedures and to familiarize the performance calculations.
The objective of this lab is to impart practical knowledge on vibration characteristic of mechanisms in the machine tools. In Dynamics Lab, the students are conducting experiments related to their theory subjects like Engineering Mechanics, Machines and Mechanisms and Fundamentals of Vibration.
Various equipments like governors, gyroscopes, balancing machines and universal vibration facilities are available to understand machine dynamics. The working models of simple mechanisms like gears, cams and followers are very much useful to understand Basic Mechanical Engineering subject for 2nd year students.
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 can be carried in variety of IC engines like petrol & diesel fueled with single / double / multi cylinder engines with modern mechanical / electrical loading devices. The computerized engine with DAS is used to do performance test & sensor capability.
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. The students are exposed to the indirect method of measurements, calibrating the various measuring instruments (like micrometer, vernier caliper and dial gauges) finding the error involved in it using electronic, mechanical & comparators. The straightness measurements using Autocollimator and Profile projection are performed using Profile Projector with surface illumination facility.
The strength of materials lab is to demonstrate the basic principles in the area of strength of materials and mechanics to the undergraduate students through a series of experiments. In this lab the experiments are performed to measure the properties of the materials such as impact strength, tensile strength, compressive strength, hardness, ductility etc.The microstructure of the materials can be viewed using computerized microscope.
This lab is common for all 1st Year students of all engineering branches. The objective of this lab is to demonstrate the basics of mechanical engineering. This lab provides knowledge about pumps, refrigerators, air-conditioning, truss, Plumbing, carpentry, sheet metal, welding and lathe works.
The Laboratory for Manufacturing is an interdepartmental laboratory with three major goals: to develop the fundamental principles of manufacturing systems, processes, and machines; apply those principles to the manufacturing enterprise; and educate the engineering leaders of tomorrow.
The Laboratory seeks to establish a rational foundation for creating manufacturing methods, based on an in-depth understanding of the complex interactions among manufacturing’s in many aspects, from systems design to operations management. Our method leads to innovation in manufacturing processes and improved understanding in planning, design, and production operations.
