Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulic Machinery
Fluid mechanics, a branch of continuum mechanics, is of paramount interest to mechanical engineers as they come across fluids in many mechanical systems such as turbines (steam, hydraulic, gas), compressors, pumps, aero-systems, IC engines, refrigeration, HVAC systems, etc. For proper and optimum design of above systems it is important for mechanical engineers to have a thorough understanding of the principles of fluid mechanics. The principles of conservation of mass, momentum and energy form the basis of the study of fluid mechanics. In this laboratory the students have the opportunity to perform various experiments to understand the above theoretical principles.

Mechanics of Solids
A Mechanical Engineer often comes across the task of performing analysis of materials used in structural applications. A “structure” may be defined as any design that uses materials to support loads and keeps deformation within acceptable limits. The task of the design of structures and machines, which are reliable and safe, requires a proper knowledge of engineering as well as material selection. Mechanics of solids or strength of materials is the study of deformation and behavior of a body due to mechanical, thermal, or other loads. The basis of all mechanical design lies in how the material reacts to outside forces. Hence, an in-depth understanding of material properties as well as how materials react to outside stimulus is important to a mechanical engineer. In this laboratory, students will have the opportunity to perform various experiments. The student will perform tests on materials in tension, torsion, bending, and buckling. These conditions and/or constraints are designed to reinforce classroom theory by having the student perform required tests, analyze subsequent data, and present the results in a professionally prepared report.

Metallurgy and Material Science
Thermal Engineering
Thermal engineering deals with the conversion of energy to useful work, mainly the conversion of heat energy to work. Thermal engineering needs a good understanding of the principles of Thermodynamics, Heat transfer and Fluid mechanics. Thermal engineering finds applications in many fields such as working of IC engines, HVAC, Refrigeration, Power plant systems etc. Thermal engineering laboratory helps students to understand the basic principles of energy conversion mainly in IC engines. Internal combustion engines have revolutionized the transportation sector and greatly contributed to the human endeavor. Current efforts to increase the efficiency of engines and greater emphasis to meet the environmental regulatory norms have increased the research efforts in this field. Hence, it is imperative that students have a good understanding of the principles of working of IC engines. In this laboratory, students will have the opportunity to perform experiments to understand the principles such as valve and port timing diagrams and their importance; understand difference between two and four stroke engines; understand the performance parameters of SI and CI engines; to obtain heat (energy) balance in an engine and understand the energy conversion mechanism etc. These experiments help students to reinforce the theoretical principles taught in the classroom and give them a good foundation to understand the energy conversion process.

Heat Transfer
Heat transfer is the passage of thermal energy from a hot to a cold body. When a body, an object or fluid, is at a different temperature than its surroundings, transfer of thermal energy takes place in such a way that the body and the surroundings reach thermal equilibrium and this type of transfer of energy is known as Heat transfer. Heat transfer always occurs from a hot body to a cold body, a result of the second law of thermodynamics. Heat transfer occurs through conduction, convection, radiation or any combination of these. Almost all mechanical processes result either in the production or in the absorption of heat and therefore are affected by heat. Understanding the mechanisms of heat transfer is of particular interest to engineers, who attempt to understand and control the flow of heat in mechanical systems design. In this laboratory, students will have the opportunity to perform experiments to understand the three modes of heat transfer, namely, conduction, convection and radiation. Experiments on heat conduction through a metal rod, composite slabs and concentric spheres, applications such as pin-fins, heat pipes, heat exchanger, natural and forced convection, and Stefan-Boltzmann’s experiment reinforce the theory taught in the classroom and gives them a good foundation for understanding the physics of heat transfer problems.
