DEPARTMENT OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING

⇒ In mechanical engineering lab students will learn about the concept of IC Engine and its working along with practical experiments.
⇒ To conduct performance test in order to know about the efficiency of the engine.
⇒ Heat balance test is conducted to maintain the heat released from the engine and to prolong the lifetime of the engine from the effect of overall heat energy that will damage the internal parts of the engine.
⇒ In industries without engine nothing can’t be done, in order to manufacture or produce products and to transport materials.
⇒ In this lab they will learn about economic balance of conservation of fuel for the production in industries.
⇒ They will learn to do combustion testing, pollution level, residue testing and efficiency which will be useful for them in future to do research purposes in biofuel and all etc.
