DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

The department has evolved a comprehensive student-centric learning approach, designed to add significant value to the learner's understanding in an integrated manner through workshops, lab sessions, assignments, training, seminars, projects and independent study. The hands-on training offered in laboratories training in latest equipment’s and design software brings in a formal method of familiarizing with the industrial practices helps the students to apply their class room knowledge to live industrial situations. As a part of their Autonomous Curriculum students develop mini projects in various domains during their graduation stay. Students are also permitted to work on authorized software to facilitate their final year projects.

HEAT TRANSFER LABORATORY

The experiments in the heat transfer laboratory help the students to understand all the three modes of heat transfer, namely conduction, convection and radiation practically. These experiments also pave way for inculcating certain innovative skills in the students making them to use the above experimental setups as starting point to take up higher level experimental studies in Heat Transfer. Experimental facilities include setups for measuring thermo-physical properties of insulation materials, building materials, gases and liquids. Performance of different types of heat exchangers can also be evaluated.

METROLOGY & MEASUREMENT LABORATORY

The general idea of metrology is (metrological) traceability, defined as "the property of the result of a measurement or the value of a standard whereby it can be related to stated references, usually national or international standards, through an unbroken chain of comparisons, all having stated uncertainties." The level of traceability establishes the level of comparability of the measurement. The capabilities of this Laboratory include a wide variety of coordinate metrology, surface finish and various traditional dimensional metrology instrumentations. In this Laboratory the linear displacement measurement is demonstrated by LVDT, the load measurement by load cell, calibration of pressure gauge, Magneto speed pickup, Rota meter and the temperature measurement by RTD Thermocouple.

MACHINE TOOLS LABORATORY

Machine Tools Laboratory is a central facility equipped with various conventional machines viz. centre lathe, horizontal milling machine, radial drilling machine, shaping machine, slotting machine, tool grinding machine, surface grinding machine etc., for carrying out curriculum based experiments and also for manufacturing products related to projects. Every student gains hands on experience on all the machines which will enrich with knowledge and skill.

COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN (CAD) LABORATORY

The research and development for products with better design and higher quality is now a dominant factor of competition among many industries. This trend is supported by the introduction and successful implementation of modern computer technologies for product design. The high quality and technologically advanced products and services are the end result of integration of a series of processes and functions which are present in every enterprise, e.g. research, design, manufacture, maintenance, marketing etc. Computer Aided Design (CAD) LABORATORY is developed with a view to train students to manage and execute the integration of all these different components.

MATERIAL SCIENCE LABORATORY

The Material Science Laboratory has been conceptualized as the starting block of material research in terms of sample preparation and finding out the mechanical properties of material. This facility will be helpful to prepare specimens capable of revealing the true microstructure of materials submitted for study. The Laboratory would be capable to perform simple microscopic evaluations, heat treatment of steels, and other related tests.

MACHINE DYNAMICS LABORATORY

Design of Machines introduces the Mechanical Engineering student to the motion and interaction of machine elements. Fundamental concepts of statics, kinematics, and dynamics will be applied to the determination of the motion and interaction of machine elements, as well as forces acting on machines and mechanisms. Specific applications will be made to mechanisms such as rotating machinery, cams, gears, flywheels, and balancing. The emphasis is on studying the motion of machines by analyzing and synthesizing mechanisms and machinery. It provides the mechanical engineering student the foundations necessary to design and develop various machine and mechanism components. Kinematics and dynamics of machines Laboratory is one of the essential part of the education and research activities in different areas of engineering with wide range of equipments and educational kits.

FLUID MECHANICS AND HYDRAULIC MACHINERY LABORATORY

The Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulic Machinery Laboratory is an integral part of Mechanical Engineering studies. It covers measuring devices and techniques, error analysis in experimental works, analysis of assumptions and application of the theories of fluid mechanics. It is an introductory course where flow behavior, fluid forces and analysis tools are introduced. The goals of the experiments include determination of forces generated when fluid flow takes place over a solid object, applications of the control volume approach, demonstration of the momentum and energy equations, and engineering correlations. Intricate flow phenomena such as separations and transition to turbulence are demonstrated. Experimental setups such as Pelton wheel, Francis turbine, Multi Stage Centrifugal Pump etc., are made available to the students.

WORKSHOP LABORATORY

The workshop facilitates to impart practical skills for the students in major fields of engineering and technology. The workshop is capable of meeting with three major production processes, i.e. metal cutting, metal joining and metal forming in various shops like-Fitting shop, Welding Shop, Sheet metal shop. These shops were established in the process of modernizing the workshop training in line with industry to suit industrial requirements.

THERMAL ENGINEERING

The Objective of this lab is to provide exhaustive knowledge on thermal engineering .The lab is well-equipped and enables students to understand the basic construction of two stroke and four stroke diesel and petrol engine. In this laboratory, students will have the opportunity to study the working principle of IC engines (both SI and CI engines), performance and characteristics in terms of heat balancing, economical speed variations, and air fuel ratio influence on the engine to reinforce

Classroom theory by having the student performs required tests, analyze subsequent data, and Present the results in a professionally prepared report. The machines and equipment used to determine experimental data include cut models of 4-stroke diesel engine, 2-stroke petrol engine, 4-stroke and two stroke petrol engines with required specifications, Multi cylinder SI engine, Single cylinder Diesel engine for performance and speed test which is suitable to tests on variable compression ratios.

DASSAULTS 3D EXPERIENCE CENTRE

Dassault Systems and Andhra Pradesh State Skill Development Corporation (APSSDC) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to set up 3D EXPERIENCE Center to make students industry ready in the field of Aerospace, Automotive, and Shipbuilding on the 3D EXPERIENCE platform with built-in industry solution experiences. As per industry reports, the aerospace and defense industry in India is one of the fastest growing markets in the world with a significant push to indigenous manufacturing. Promoting self-reliance, indigenization and technology up-grades, achieving economies of scale and developing capabilities for exports requires that the talent is developed in-house at a rapid pace to meet the demand. The automotive industry that is witnessing major changes in the form of electric vehicles (EVs), shared mobility, and emission and safety norms have the potential to create 65 million additional jobs and contributing over 12% to India’s GDP. In the marine and shipbuilding sector, there is also the requirement of a cost-effective & skilled manpower with the technical know-how. The 3DEXPERIENCE Center aims to meet these requirements for skilled manpower and facilitate employability to the youth in Andhra Pradesh.
