Thermal Engineering Laboratory

About

The goal of this lab is to give the students a favourable atmosphere in which to comprehend certain crucial ideas and applications in the field of thermal engineering. Internal combustion engines, steam generators, and compressors are the main types of equipment in the thermal engineering lab. The IC engine is the heart of the automotive industry and is used in the mobility sector. In this lab, students can learn how to do performance and heat balance calculations for various thermal equipment such as IC Engines, steam generators, air conditioning, refrigeration, and air compressors. Students will find these principles helpful in connecting the phenomenological processes occurring in the automobile, compressor, and HVAC (Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems) industries. This laboratory is also actively engaged in research.
