The main objective of this lab is to develop an idea of fuel properties and their variation with temperature, determination of kinematic viscosity and calorific value of fuels.
In Fuels Lab, different fuel testing equipments are available. From this, students can measure viscosity, flash point, fire point, pour point, and cloud point etc. of any fuel. The etherification plant which is available in fuels lab is highly useful for the students who do their projects in bio fuels. 
Course Outcome:

• Ability to characterize the fuels
• Understanding of thermodynamics and kinetics of combustion
• Understand and analyze the combustion mechanisms of various fuels

The objective of this lab is to provide the practical knowledge on design and analysis of mechanisms in the machine tools and automobiles to the students. Various equipments like governors, gyroscope, balancing machine, whirling of shaft apparatus, CAM, journal bearing and universal vibration facilities are provided to understand the kinematics and dynamics of the machine.

The working models of simple mechanisms like gears, cams and followers are very much useful to the students to understand. The vibration equipments are well established in dynamics lab, such as the vibration exciter, accelerometers. On this vibration machine various experiments can be performed like Undamped Torsional Vibrations of Single Rotor System, Damped Torsional Vibrations of Single Rotor System, Torsional Vibrations of Two Rotor System and etc.

Measurement and Metrology is one the most important areas related to Quality Control – as found on shop floors. The lab has fully developed set of equipments to make the students industry ready.

Metrology Lab
Metrology is the science of measurement. Metrology Lab in our department is equipped with various measuring instruments, gauges and measuring machines. It makes the students to understand the basic principle involved in measuring process that suits for the respective product and its importance in the quality control. The experiments are based on geometrical measurements, form measurements using various basic measuring instruments like all types of vernier, micrometer and dial gauges etc and using coordinate metrology (Profile Projector and CMM). The students are exposed to learn about the error involved in the measurements, calibration of measuring instruments. The Computerized Surface Roughness plays the important role in the research aspects of Lab.

METALLURGY AND MATERIAL SCIENCE LABORATORY
The Metallurgy and Material Science Laboratory provide important information about the structure and properties of metals and alloy samples. When metals are subjected to heat treatment operations, it is important to observe the Microstructure of a given metals and also observe how the Mechanical properties are going to be changed.

This Metallurgical Laboratory consists of various ferrous and non-ferrous specimens, specimen preparation machines, microscopes and Rock well hardness Tester to find out the hardness, Jominey end quench tester machine to find the hardenability and heat treatment using Muffle furnaces. In this lab the observation of microstructure of ferrous metals (Mild steels, low carbon steels, high – C steels, Cast Irons), non-ferrous specimens (Cu and Al) and also preparation and study of crystal models for simple cubic, body centred cubic, face centred cubic and hexagonal close packed structures.

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, air fuel ratio influence on the engine to reinforce classroom theory by having the student perform 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 4stroke diesel engine, 2stroke petrol engine, 4stroke 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.

Production Technology Lab chiefly encompasses Metal casting, Welding, Press working and Processing of Plastics. It inculcates knowledge and skill to the students starting from preparing a wooden pattern to completion of a casting which also comprises different Sand testing techniques. Also, students can understand broadly Welding and press working skills employed in Industries. One of the most outstanding features of plastics is the ease with which they can be processed. Production Technology lab also throws light on processing of plastics by Blow and Injection molding machines.

Heat Transfer is an important area of Mechanical Engineering. Heat Transfer laboratory provides fundamental and industrial knowledge about modes of heat transfer, like conduction, convection and radiation, and their application. This course is designed to introduce a basic study of the phenomena of heat transfer, to develop methodologies for solving a wide variety of practical engineering problems, and to provide useful information concerning the performance and design of particular systems and processes. A knowledge-based design problem requiring the formulations of solid conduction and fluid convection and the technique of numerical computation progressively elucidated in different chapters will be assigned and studied in detail.

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.

This lab course is primarily being offered to the III Year B.Tech Mechanical Engineering Students to make them to to provide the practical exposure to the students with regard to the determination of amount of heat exchange in various modes of heat transfer.

Students are able to understand principles involved in the measurement and control of industrial processes. In particular, students will be able to learn

• Understand principles involved in Calibration
• Learn about the Temperature sensors (Thermocouples, RTD’s, Thermistors, etc.)
• Aware of Pneumatic and hydraulic pressure concepts
• Balance the reciprocating masses.
• To provide knowledge on the fundamentals of measurement science and measuring instruments
• To provide a knowledge on the basics of control system theory

Computer Aided Drafting is taught using common software like AutoCAD, Creo etc. used by 1St year B.Tech. (All branches) & B.Tech. (Mechanical) in general. Here, students love to spend hours together practicing these high end software in air-conditioned computer labs.
