Centres of Excellence

MSC Center of Excellence

MSC Center of Excellence

The MSC Center of Excellence serves as a focused hub for advanced learning, research, and academic excellence. It supports exploration, experimentation and knowledge creation through structured resources and collaborative practices, enabling learners and researchers to deepen understanding and contribute meaningfully to their respective fields.

Applied Thermodynamics Lab

Applied Thermodynamics Lab

The Applied Thermodynamics lab provides an opportunity for the students to study the different types of IC engines, compressors, condensers. Working in the lab makes the students understand and evaluate the efficiency, power and performance of the IC engines, compressors and condensers based on parameters such as compression ratio, volume of air intake, specific fuel consumption, and heat extraction.

Fluid Mechanics Lab

Fluid Mechanics Lab

The objective of the lab is to make the students understand the application and principles of fluid mechanics. The students are encouraged to operate the experimental test rigs to know the operational procedures and to calculate the discharge coefficient, minor losses and Reynold’s number for fluid flow through the pipe.

Mechanical Measurement And Control Lab

Mechanical Measurement And Control Lab

The mechanical measurement and control lab makes the students learn the calibration of various measuring instruments like sine bar, surface roughness tester, profile projector, toolmaker microscope and stroboscope and find the errors involved in it and measure the angle, surface roughness, profiles and speed measurements of the products.

Heat Transfer Lab

Heat Transfer Lab

The Heat Transfer Laboratory focuses to develop the concrete understanding of heat transfer with the help of practical aspects of different modes (conduction, convection and radiation) of heat transfer and to formulate the heat transfer analysis for a given engineering problems by applying the appropriate equations and/or correlations.

Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Lab

Refrigeration & Air Conditioning Lab

The purpose of this lab is to impart the basic knowledge of refrigeration and air conditioning principles and procedures. Students are exposed to the various testing rigs and are encouraged to calculate and estimate the coefficient of performance and efficiency of various cooling systems such as refrigerators, ice plants and domestic air conditioners.
