Mechanical Engineering Laboratory

The Department has state-of-art laboratories and workshops which provides ample facilities for experiments and hands-on training to the students both in the academic subjects as also in the emerging fields of specialization.

Engineering Mechanics Lab

This laboratory gives the basic understanding of structural member under the action of loads. The students will experience the changes in behaviour of structure due to application of loads. Basics of determinate structures will be introduced through experiment. The main purpose of any structure is to support the loads coming on it by properly transferring them to the foundation. The students will be able to compute internal, external forces and displacements produced by the application of loads to make the structure safe. Detailed analysis is to be performed to determine the bending moments, shear force, axial forces etc at the required section.

Thermal Lab

The purpose of thermal engineering laboratory is to give conceptual and principles involving in thermal science, especially focusing on Internal Combustion Engine, Steam Generators and Compressors.

Fluid Mechanics & Hydraulic Machines Lab

Determination of fluid forces and behavior during the fluid flow over a solid object. The lab is equipped with different flow measuring set-ups such as Venturi meter, orifice-plate, etc., where students can visualize the basic theory of working of the flow meter.

Strength of material Lab

In Strength of Materials Laboratory, students will have the opportunity to apply loads to various materials under different equilibrium conditions. The student will perform tests on different materials in tension, torsion, bending, and buckling etc. These conditions and/or constraints are designed to reinforce classroom theory. By performing required tests in this lab, students get a near realistic feel of the experiment. Student can analyse subsequent data, and compare the results with theory.

Heat & Mass Transfer Lab

The laboratory consists of experiments on various conductive, convective, radiative mechanisms of heat transfer.

Theory of Machine Lab

This lab consists of all basic equipments for understanding mechanisms, apparatus etc. at undergraduate level such as gyroscope, governor, jibcrane, screw jack, worm-wheel apparatus etc. The lab is to impart practical knowledge on design and analysis of mechanisms for the specified type of motion in a machine. With the study of rigid bodies motions and forces for the transmission systems, machine kinematics and dynamics can be well understood.

Measurement & Quality Control Lab

Measurement Laboratory is a well-equipped laboratory which provides ideas on hands on experience with various measuring instruments to utilize in industries. On evaluating mechanical properties of a given specimen or structure.Students also get opportunity to implement their ideas through various application oriented micro projects.

Refrigeration & Air Conditioning Lab

The lab is well-equipped and enables students to understand the basics of refrigeration and air conditioning. The trainer consists of a hermetically sealed compressor; forced convection air-cooled condenser, filter / drier, flow meter, expansion device and shell & coil type evaporator. Separate pressure gauges are provided to record suction and discharge pressures and digital temperature indicators for various temperatures.

CAD/CAM Lab

This course is the integration of Computer-Aided-Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided-Manufacturing (CAM). It involves the study of modern prototyping and machining methods, teaching the use of specific software for converting 2D and 3D CAD drawing geometry directly into tool path information used to drive numerically controlled turning and milling.

Mechanical Workshop

The well supported and systematically laid Workshop department provides hands on work experience to our students. The Department is well equipped with lathes, milling, drilling, shaping, grinding & welding machines. Students who get hands-on experience in basic trades like Fitting, Carpentry, Smithy, Moulding, Pattern Making, Sheet Metal etc. These trades are taught by a team of dedicated & experienced skilled instructors. Large numbers of colour charts giving information about different machines, machine elements, tooling are displayed as a ready reference for students. Workshop Department of the institute is systematically developed. The Central Workshop is a common facility which provides fabrication services for projects and prototype fabrication to all the students and have following sections.

Machine Shop

In this method component is manufactured by removal of material using cutting tool on machines like turning lathe, milling machine, shaping machine, grinding machine, etc. This is widely used method in Mechanical engineering Industry.

Carpentry / Pattern Making Shop

This method is used for making patterns of cast components. Over this pattern sand mould is prepared and molten material is poured to fill the cavities. After cooling, molten metal solidifies and component is ready for further processing.

Welding Shop

Welding has wide scope in assembly of components. There are various methods of joining parts e.g., bolting, riveting, flaring, crimping, etc. Welding is on such joining method which involves melting the edges together with or without addition of filler material. Welding is extensively used in fabrication and is widely used in industry for components which are not required to be disassembled.

Fitting Shop

In today's industry most of the work is done on automatic machines and finished to a fairly good degree of accuracy. However, still they require some operations to be done by hands so as to make them fit properly. There are many components and equipment's which need basic fitting skill to manufacture. (e.g., Surface plate, wooden furniture, machine assembly). Fitting is assembling of parts together by filing, chipping, sawing, scrapping, tapping etc.

Casting

This method is largely used for manufacturing components having complex shapes which cannot be made by using other methods like machining, forging etc.

Forging

This method is used where grain structure of material is refined to achieve increased strength.

CAD/CAM Lab

This course is the integration of Computer-Aided-Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided-Manufacturing (CAM). It involves the study of modern prototyping and machining methods, teaching the use of specific software for converting 2D and 3D CAD drawing geometry directly into tool path information used to drive numerically controlled turning and milling.
