ENGINEERING DRAWING LAB/GRAPHICS LAB

The engineering Drawing lab helps and guides the students to learn how the technical drawings can be drawn by different methods.

It introduces the students to a specific language of engineers which is the graphical language. It is universally accepted and used by engineers to develop and record their ideas and express them to others for execution.

The Engineering Drawing lab will help the students in many ways from drawing images, describing the shape, size, and colour and finally constructing any engineering object. It teaches them some different skills such as ability to read and prepare engineering drawings, ability to make free - hand sketching of objects, Power to imagine, analyses and communicate, and capacity to understand.

THERMODYNAMICS LAB

Thermodynamics is the branch of physical science that deals with the relations between heat and other forms of energy (such as mechanical, electrical, or chemical energy), and, by extension, of the relationships between all forms of energy. Thermodynamics lab courses often include laboratory components. Traditionally these are demonstration labs where students collect and analyze data from a preconfigured experimental apparatus.

The lab focusses on the concepts of Thermodynamics and investigate the parameters by using pressure gauges for heat transfer analysis and study of Boiler efficiency.

It also includes the study of 2 stroke and 4 stroke engine models.

MATERIAL SCIENCE AND TESTING LAB

Materials science is a fascinating area of research that is often at the cutting edge of science and engineering. It involves both developing of new materials and improving on existing ones, and has important applications both for improving daily life and for advancing other fields of research. This lab focusses on testing of the materials. It provides a vision to produce new materials according to the need of the era.

The goal of this lab is to illuminate the issues and important areas of concern within the field of materials. It strengthens the areas of –
• Learning: The science of materials reveals the relationship between structure and properties.
• Designing: The engineering of materials utilizes the known relationship between structure and properties for the purposes of designing a material having a specific set of properties. You can view Creep and Tensile experiments.

HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER LAB

Heat Transfer laboratory provides fundamental and industrial knowledge about modes of heat transfer, like conduction, convection and radiation, and their application.
Heat Transfer Lab consists of the following equipment’s. Pin Fin Apparatus. This setup is designed to study the heat transfer in a pin fin. Finding average heat transfer coefficient loosing heat by natural convection and radiation only.
This emissivity set up consists of two circular aluminium plates. This experimental set up designed in such a way that under steady state conditions the heat dissipated by conduction and convection in the same for the two plates.
The natural convection setup consists of a brass tube fitted in a rectangular duct in a vertical fashion. To determine average heat transfer coefficient for a vertical tube losing heat by natural convection.
Critical heat flux set up is designed to study the pool boiling phenomenon up to critical heat flux point. To observe variation of critical heat flux with bulk temperature of the fluid.

COMPUTER AIDED MACHINE DRAWING LAB

In Computer Aided Machine Drawing lab, our students can create visual concepts, using computer software or by hand, to communicate ideas that inspire, inform, and captivate consumers. They develop the overall layout and production design for various applications.
At the design stage, both freehand and mechanical drawings serve the functions of inspiring and guiding the designer and of communicating among the designer, collaborators, production department, and marketing or management personnel. At this stage, exact mechanical drawings can clarify, confirm, or disqualify a scheme that looked promising in a freehand sketch. Actually, both the sketch and the exact mechanical drawing are essential parts of the process of designing, and both belong to the field of drafting. After the basic design has been established, drafting skills aid in the development and transmission of the wealth of data necessary for the production and assembly of the parts.
Thousands of drawings may be needed to convey all of the requirements of the finished product from the designers to the fabricators.
This lab helps to provide the proper guidance to students to make accurate and precise drawings using CAD software.

CAD LAB

In CAD lab students learn to use the computers to create, modify, do analysis, and optimization of a design.
CAD may be used to design curves and figures in two-dimensional (2D) space; or curves, surfaces, and solids in three-dimensional (3D) space.
CAD is used to accomplish preliminary design and layouts, design details and calculations, creating 3-D models, creating and releasing drawings, as well as interfacing with analysis, marketing, manufacturing, and end-user personnel.
CAD lab has the latest computer system with 2D and 3D software installed.
