Fluid mechanics lab has equipment for demonstrating and verifying fundamental principles. It contains several flow and pressure measuring devices both for measuring pipe-flow and channel-flow. In addition, the application of fluid mechanics is also demonstrated by several hydraulic machines like pumps, turbines and flow visualization beds. Fluid Mechanics Lab also houses a subsonic wind tunnel with all accessories and is being used for research and development.

This lab aims to highlight the working principles of machines. Working of various practical components like wheel & axle, flywheel, rotating disc, screw thread, gear trains, screw jack, worm & wheel and shafts are demonstrated by small scale apparatuses. The same lab is also used for mechanical vibrations by demonstration of free & forced as well as torsional vibrations.

The laboratory is designed for understanding of Statics and Dynamics and consists of digital truss apparatus, friction apparatus, reaction of beams apparatus, polygon of forces apparatus, extension of spring apparatus, centrifugal force apparatus, gyroscope and balancing apparatus.

The lab contains the latest machines like 3D printer, CNC lathe, CNC milling and Automatic Production Training unit. Hands on training on these systems enables students to design and manufacture various types of jobs. Moreover, automatic production training unit imparts skills that are necessary to control the production units and robotic arms in industry.

The lab is well equipped with the facilities of measuring tensile strength, hardness and torsion of bars. The lab contains Brinell hardness tester, Rockwell hardness tester, torsional tester, spring testing machines, impact and fatigue testing machine. This lab also houses a UTM (Universal Testing Machine) of 100KN capacity and is available to students and researchers from other universities and industries.

Hands-on working experience of machine tools like lathe, shaper, milling, drill press and grinding with all the necessary tools is provided to the students.

In this lab, students acquire hands-on training on the use of electric arc welding, gas welding and spot welding. This lab is also actively used for fabrication of the Final Year Design Projects.

This lab helps the students to envisage the theoretical concepts of thermodynamics by demonstration of flow boiling apparatus, condensation unit. Some cut-up models for the visualization of practical thermodynamic machines are also available. We are also proud to have a working steam power plant of 1kW for the hands-on knowledge of power plants.

The laboratory is used to authenticate the laws and phenomenon in the subject of heat transfer and consists of free & forced convection unit, linear & radial conduction unit, thermal radiation unit and heat exchangers. The same lab is also used for simulation of refrigeration and air conditioning cycles by illustration of vapor compression unit.

This laboratory is equipped with sectioned models of various engines, including T59 tank engine along with its both transmissions, F-86 Sabre jet engine. This lab also houses the test bed for simulation of practical engine cycles (Otto and Diesel). We are also proud to have a working demonstration model of a car’s transmission and engine.
