Introduction

Mechanical Engineering is the oldest and the broadest branch of engineering and also the backbone of all engineering disciplines. Mechanical Engineering covers a large area starting from agriculture to biomedical industry, primary manufacturing to robotics, automobile to aerospace, conventional to non-conventional power production. Briefly, this branch of engineering provides basic human needs and also caters to the demand of the most advanced civilized society.

A B. Tech Degree in Mechanical Engineering presents a lot of job opportunities due to vast developments in the fields of Design, Thermal, and Production. A student after completing the Degree in Mechanical Engineering can work in several industries including public and private sectors. With the rapid rate of growth in the industrial sector, the employment potential for Mechanical Engineers is quite high. In the government sector, the fresher can join as Assistant Engineers and go up the ladder as Executive Engineers. A student with a degree in Mechanical Engineering can also find jobs in administrative and managerial positions in government or public sector industries or become a research scholar in Reputed Academic Institutions. The sectors like Non-conventional Energy, Robotics, Aerospace, Agriculture, Automobile, Defense, Chemical, Power Plants, Engineering Consultancy Services as well as the Railways recruit Mechanical Engineers on a regular basis. Thus, there is a wide scope if a student pursues a career in Mechanical Engineering.

Projects

The Department of Mechanical Engineering gives special emphasis and attention in bringing out the new ideas and concepts through different kinds of projects by the students. Some of the notable projects done are: High Efficiency Artificial Draft Cooling Tower, Portable Bowling Machine, Portable Evaporative Cooler, Hybrid Cooling System, Remote Controlled E.O.T. Crane, Fire Fighting System with Light Sensor, Automatic Gas Detection System Portable Drain Cleaner, Hands-Free Water Dispenser, Stair Climbing RC Robot, Mechanical Arm, Vapour Compression Refrigerator, Go-Kart, Power Generation from Railway Track, Solar Greenhouse Dryer, Solar Pump, Solar Powered Air Compressor, Portable Vacuum Cleaner, Pelton Wheel, Segway, Automated Conveyor, Hydraulic Ram Pump & Hydraulic Robotic Arm.

High Efficiency Artificial Draft Cooling Tower:

Cooling towers are required in a plant to cool the utility water requirement which is used for cooling of various equipment. In Artificial cooling tower, air is forced to flow in the opposite direction to that of the water flow. And the water flow is broken into smaller drops of water thus increasing the surface area of the water droplet. The air which is flowing in the counter direction comes in direct contact with the water droplets and evaporation takes place. Then this water is recirculated in the cooling tower.

Portable Bowling Machine:

A portable bowling machine consists of a rotating wheel and guide runner. Cricket balls can be thrown at different speeds by this machine easily. It can be used in batting as well as catching practice.

Portable Evaporative Cooler:

Hybrid Cooling System:

The Hybrid Cooling System project is a full-scale working modelcomprising of a refrigerator and an air-conditionersystem workingon a single compressor. Further, temperature management in both the chambers are done by the same system.

Remote Controlled E.O.T. Crane:

A working prototype of an Electric Overhead Traveling crane which can be operated using remote controller. The EOT crane is equipped with the mechanical arrangements in order to carry the load (pick up and down) and move forward and backwards for delivering loads.

Fire Fighting System with Light Sensor:

The photoelectric fire detector uses a light detector (receiver). When a pre-set amount of light (emitted from fire) lands on the receiver, the detector signals and activates the water pump which then extinguishes the fire.

Automatic Gas Detection System:

The gas detectors can be used for the detection of combustible, flammable and poisonous gases and for loss of oxygen, and also to detect a gas leak or other pollutants. It detects the area where the leak occurs and gives a warning sound and instructs the operators to leave the area.

Portable Drain Cleaner:

A machine that segregates solid waste from a sewage or a flowing drain and prevents clogging. It is operated by a chain drive mechanism with a number of rakes attached to the drive. The moving rakes catch solid wastes from the sewage and trash them in the catcher. It can run on AC and Battery as well.

Hands-Free Water Dispenser:

A water dispenser model that limits the wastage of water in a wash basin. The system is a hygienic one as the opening and closing of the tap is entirely hands-free and is operated by tapping a pedal provided below the basin, with the feet.

Stair Climbing RC Robot:

A six-wheel Remote Controlled Robotic Car that can climb stairs, with loads on it. The front two pairs of rotating arms enable the robot to climb up steps without toppling. It can be used in search-and-rescue operations.

Mechanical Arm:

This is a prototype of industrial robotic arm. It helps in material handling specially ‘pick and place’ in modern automotive industries, heavy steel manufacturing industries, etc.

Vapour Compression Refrigerator:

A low-cost small-scale refrigerator based on vapour compression system has been developed for domestic application. The refrigerator is capable of maintaining sub-zero temperature in the refrigerated space.

Go-Kart:

A simplified prototype of four-wheeler capable of carrying approximately 200 kg load has been developed using a single cylinder four stroke 220 cc petrol engine with simplified driving mechanism and chassis.

Power Generation from Railway Track:

This project aims at generating electricity from the motion of train coaches on railway track. The power generated and stored can be utilised for signalling system, illuminating platforms, water purification etc.

Solar Greenhouse Dryer:

A small-scale experimental setup of solar greenhouse dryer operated on forced convection mode has been developed. It is used to dry various high value perishable products by the application of solar energy. It enhances the rate of drying as well as increases the quality of the product. It has considerable potential of CO2 mitigation.

Solar Pump:

Solar pump is a portable DC pump that draws power from a 12V 1A battery which is charged by a solar panel set at a suitable angle to catch the optimum solar insolation. The pump developed a discharge head of 10m.

Solar powered Air Compressor:

The prime mover of a solar compressor machine is an electric motor deriving energy from battery which is powered by a solar panel. It can be used to pressurize carbon dioxide to generate carbonated water.

Portable Vacuum Cleaner:

A portable vacuum cleaner has been developed by the students of Mechanical Engineering Department which is very handy to move about for domestic cleaning purpose. It can clear dust, dirt, sand particles from nooks and crannies of domestic furniture and household items.

Pelton Wheel:

It is a small head water turbine that generates enough energy to charge a 12V 1A battery by drawing water from a level of 10m.

Segway:

The Segway is a two-wheeled, self-balancing, battery-powered electric vehicle used to move across distances in open space. Generally, it is used in shopping mall, airport etc. Our student built such a vehicle with a load capacity of 50 Kg.

Automated Conveyor:

The concept of this conveyer system is to run the conveyor belt at loaded condition only. It will automatically stop when the load is withdrawn, thus minimizing the power consumption. Our students used photo sensor and the master controller to actuate the movement of the belt.

Hydraulic Ram Pump:

Hydraulic ram pump is a device with which small quantities of water can be lift to higher level from the available large quantity of water at low head without the consumption of any electrical energy. Our students were successful to lift water at a height of 2.5 m.

Hydraulic Robotic Arm:

A robotic arm is a type of mechanical arm, operated by hydraulic power generally used in material handling equipment. Our students made a prototype of the same by using water as the driving fluid.
