The department maintains close association with a large number of petrochemical industries and design organization, and continuously upgrades the course curriculum. Industry oriented developmental projects are undertaken regularly. Students are encouraged to identify industrial problems and participate actively in sponsored programs from outside. In-plant training in industrial organizations is a part of the regular diploma curriculum.
It has following engineering labs
- Fluid mechanics
- Heat transfer
- Mass transfer
- Fluid particle mechanics
- Petrochemical technology
- Instrumentation and process control
- Petroleum refining
Fluid mechanics Lab.:- Fluid mechanics is the study of fluid behavior at rest and in motion. Both liquid and gases are classified as fluid. Fluid mechanics has a wide range of applications in Chemical and Petrochemical Engineering. The basic fluid mechanics principals are the conservation of mass, momentum, and the energy equation.
Fluid mechanics generally helps us understand the behavior of fluid under various forces and at different conditions of the atmosphere and to select fluid that is proper for various applications.
The Fluid mechanics laboratory is designed to examine the properties, flow characteristics and measurement of fluid for both incompressible and compressible flow.
Major equipments in Fluid mechanics laboratory are Hydraulic bench, Verification of Bernoulli’s theorem, Apparatus for Reynolds experiment, Models of different pumps and valves.
Heat transfer Lab.:- Heat transfer is a process by which internal energy from one substance transfer to another substance. Heat transfer is the area in thermodynamics in change the study of the conversion, exchange, generation and utilization of energy in the form of heat (thermal energy) between different systems. The heat can be transferred by several modes, such as conduction, convection, radiation.
Major equipments in Heat transfer laboratory are, Heat transfer through composite wall, study of heat transfer by forced convection, natural convection, emissivity of grey body, Study of drop wise and film wise condensation and double pipe heat exchanger.
Petrochemical Technology Lab: - Petrochemical are derived from various chemical compounds mainly from hydrocarbon. These hydrocarbons are derived from crude oil and natural gas.
Petrochemical are cost effective, economically stable and cheaper as they
Produce on mass scale. Heat provide the foundation for manufacturing industries like construction, packaging, agriculture, textiles, electronics, furniture appliances etc.
A myriad of objects we use daily are made of petrochemicals. Petrochemical
product include plastics, rubbers, resins, synthetic fibers, adhesives, dyes,
Detergents, pesticides and petroleum derived paints and coatings.
Petrochemical technology laboratory deals with manufacturing and testing of some common petrochemicals.
Major equipments in Petrochemicals lab are, Melt flow index test equipment, Rockwell hardness test equipment , Tensile and compression test equipment.
Petroleum refining Lab.: - Petroleum refining is mainly concerned with processing of crude petroleum oil into different petroleum products. In petroleum refining lab. , we determine different properties of crude and products such as API gravity, viscosity, flash and fire point, cloud and pour point, smoke point etc.
Major equipments in Petroleum refining Lab are, Redwood viscometer, Pensky- Martin flash and fire point apparatus, cloud point apparatus, Penetrometer.
