CURRICULUM:

Momentum Transfer Laboratory:
What type of pump do you use in your house to fill water from the bore well? What is a turbine? How does a valve operate? To know these answers, please step into the fluid mechanics lab. Housing the sophisticated equipments, this laboratory completely satisfies the queries of the somophore related to the fluid mechanics.

Mechanical Unit Operations Laboratory:
The mechanical unit operations lab housing the world class equipments like the Ball mill, Roll mill, Jaw crusher, Plate & Frame Filters, Rotary shakers.... invokes the engineer in making, a midas touch of the real world. Equipments in the industries, about the various unit operations of size reduction, size enlargement, caking, transportation and filteration.

Heat Transfer Laboratory:
Conduction, convection and radiation are the three modes of transfer of heat from one body to another. But have you witnessed how these take place? Welcome to the heat transfer lab. Equipped with the sophisticated world class heat transfer equipments like Shell & tube heat exchanger, Dropwise & filmwise condensers, extended surface heat exchangers, Evaporators. This laboratory provides the novel requirement that serves the upcoming engineer up to extreme cognizance. So the next time when you see a motorcycle engine, dont be enigmatic about its shape & design.

This lab fully equipped with the modern facilities at par with the stringent industrial specifications to help the developing engineer know these operations and their relevance to the production techniques.

Chemical Reaction Engineering Laboratory:
The chemical reaction engineering lab is equipped with the state-of-the-art equipments, automated like the Adiabatic and isothermal plug flow reactors (PFRs), Isothermal CSTR, Packed Bed reactors and the facilities of Trickle bed reactor in order to make the students visualize the immediate real time industrial conditions and learn about the reaction techniques.

Process Dynamics & Control Laboratory:
A specific reaction/process cannot be successful to yield the required product or the anticipated results, without proper estimation of the dynamics associated with them and the requisite control techniques adopted. Here we have the process dynamics and control lab to let the upcoming engineer understand, practice and adopt the proper methodologies involved in an industrial set up for carrying out the operations and processes like the Interacting systems, Non-interacting systems, Simulations of the temperature controllers, Flow controllers, Level controllers, Pressure controllers with the use of in-built systems of P, PI & PID control strategies.

Process Simulation laboratory:

Tools such as MATLAB SIMULINK, CHEMCAD are used to model and simulate the processes such as ideal binary distillation, Non isothermal CSTR, Batch reactor, Temperature, Level and Flow control systems.
