Thermo-lab
is developed for demonstrating and understanding of the laws of Heat Transfer and thermodynamics. The training
units are available in order to help the students understand the processes of
heat transfer between fluids and solids, While the thermodynamics section
covers working mechanism of heat pumps, steam engine mechanism and different
refrigeration and air conditioning cycles. The lab also has cut-out Engine
modules (both petrol and diesel IC engines) to give an in-depth understanding
of the working of IC engines. A combustion unit is also present for testing of
different gases under controlled combustion processes. Heat Transfer equipment
based on the principles of conduction, convection and radiation has also been
successfully deployed in this lab as per the curriculum requirement.
The
laboratory includes thermal conduction system, centrifugal
compressor test rig, petrol
engine test bed, natural
convection and radiation apparatus, and
variable compression engine and cross flow heat exchanger. And for the better
understanding of vapour compression and vapour absorption cycles we have
compression trainer and absorption trainer.
