Elements of Mechanical Engineering

Welcome to the Element of Mechanical Engineering  Laboratory!

This lab provides a strong foundation for understanding the basic machines, thermal systems, and material behavior that form the backbone of mechanical engineering. It is designed to give students both conceptual clarity and practical exposure to boilers, engines, turbines, refrigeration systems, and material testing.

Laboratory Infrastructure

1. 1. Comprehensive Equipment
      • Steam Boilers with Mountings & Accessories – For study of construction, working, and safety devices.
      • Internal Combustion Engines (SI & CI models) – Cut-sections and working models to understand components and cycles.
      • Steam Power Plant Models – To demonstrate energy conversion from fuel to power.
      • Vapour Compression Refrigeration System (VCRS) – For study of refrigeration cycle and cooling applications.
      • Vapour Absorption Refrigeration System (VARS) – To understand alternate refrigeration technology.
      • Steam Turbines (Impulse & Reaction types) – To learn working principles of energy extraction from steam.
   2. Hands-on Learning
      • Demonstrate the construction and working of steam boilers and their accessories.
      • Explore SI and CI engines, their parts, and performance aspects.
      • Learn about mechanical properties of materials using standard testing methods.
      • Understand the layout and functioning of a steam power plant.
      • Study the principles of refrigeration systems (VCRS and VARS).
      • Analyze the working of turbines (impulse, reaction, and gas turbines) and their role in power generation.
