The Thermal Engineering Lab provides a platform for the students to launch into the world of engines and refrigeration equipments. The available facilities include test rigs for diesel and petrol engines, compressors and blowers. A computerised variable compression ratio diesel engine test rig is also installed. A separate section is devoted to the performance measurements of vapour compression refrigeration system air conditioning system, heat pumps etc. The lab is well equipped to determine the calorific value and other parameters of any fuel used in engines. The Heat Transfer section details with different experimental set-ups on the study, analysis and measurement of heat transfer. The facilities available include heat exchangers emissivity measuring apparatus, and different experimental set-ups on conduction, convection and radiation.
