​Introduction to the Lab

All experiments conducted in this lab combine elements of theory and practice. Many of the concepts and basic theories which the student learns in the lectures of heat transfer, thermodynamics and fluid mechanics are demonstrated and confirmed through different experiments. The laboratory is also used for senior design projects as well. The facilities available in the lab are:- 

•Thermal conductivity apparatus

•Thermal conductivity using vacuum pump

•Free convection and Forced convection apparatus

•Heat exchangers performance apparatus

•Thermal radiation unit

•Refrigeration and air conditioning unit

The Fluid laboratory provides a "hands on" environment that is crucial for developing students understanding of theoretical concepts and is available in Civil engineering department. It has an essential and effective role enabling mechanical engineering students to gain educational understanding and experimental information in the field of Fluid Mechanics. It is used for a series of experiments serving Fluid Mechanics course and also helps for Senior Design Projects.

Courses supported include:

ME 311, ME313 and ME 204.
