To create Aerospace Engineers of superior calibre, we provide the students with a carefully designed curriculum to cater to Industry needs, and advanced technologies and facilities that add value to the subject and aid in the proper understanding of Aerospace Engineering.
From transportation to electricity production to energy consumption, our society is powered by the use of complex conversion devices. The world is devoted to advancing the frontiers of science and engineering in order to improve the efficient use of natural resources, while minimising the environmental impact of these systems.
The process of getting one or more numerical values that can be fairly assigned to a quantity or property is known as measurement. A measurement’s correctness, specificity, and consistency are all covered by metrology. Traceability or comparison to a “standard” or between different measuring systems is involved.
The student will be able to understand pressure gauge, thermocouple, LVDT, load cell, and micrometre calibration by studying the lab. Use the ideas of angle measurement with a Sine Centre, Sine Bar, or Bevel Protractor, and alignment with an Autocollimator/Roller Set. Conduct measurements with an optical projector/toolmaker microscope and optical flats. Use an Optical Projector/Tool Maker microscope and optical flats to illustrate measurements. Using a lathe/drill tool dynamometer, analyse tool forces. Examine Screw thread dimensions are measured with a 2-wire or 3-wire method, and gear tooth profiles are measured with a gear tooth Vernier/micrometre. Understand the basic principles of surface roughness measuring.
A machine shop is a room, building, or company where machining, a form of subtractive manufacturing, is done. In a machine shop, machinists use machine tools and cutting tools to make parts, usually of metal or plastic (but sometimes of other materials such as glass or wood)
Machine shops often also contain the raw materials required for manufacturing the specific part, such as bar stock. It also stores an inventory of the parts that have been finished.
The student will be able to gain hands-on experience on machines like the Lathe Machine, Milling Machine, Shaping Machine, Planner Machine, Drilling Machine, Slotting Machine, and Grinding Machine. Students will understand the different operations that can be performed by using a Lathe machine, like turning, facing, drilling, chamfering, knurling, step turning, and taper turning.
The process of testing materials to find out their mechanical properties like elasticity, plasticity, ductility, brittleness, yield strength and hardness, etc., and to ensure that the supplied material will perform as expected. It covers a wide variety of experimental approaches, ranging from simple tensile tests to more complex tests for finding flaws and cracks inside the material is known as the Material Testing Lab.
The student will be able to understand the Universal Testing Machine working principle for finding tensile, compression, bending and shear strength of the materials. To conduct the experiment to find the hardness of the material by different experiments, like the Brinell Hardness test, the Rockwell and Vickers hardness tests. Use an impact testing machine to conduct Izod and Charpy impact tests. Examine the cracks inside the material using by magnetic crack detector and understand the basic principle of the Theory of fail.
In this lab, tests on the properties of fluids, flow measuring devices, are performed.
Performance study on various hydraulic machines like Turbines, Pumps, Compressors and blowers are conducted. This laboratory caters to the academic requirement of various disciplines of Engineering like Civil Engineering, Aeronautical engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Chemical Engineering.
Apart from academic requirements the laboratory provides research facilities in the field of fluid Engineering.
Computer Aided Aircraft Drawing Lab makes use of computers (or workstations) to aid in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimisation of the design of different aircraft and their parts.
The Propulsion Laboratory houses experimental facilities for the undergraduate and postgraduate programs. It also has equipment for research activities. The lab has an R-25 jet engine and a piston engine. Students can study the fuel and lubrication-related systems. Thermal-related experiments include forced convective heat transfer over a flat plate, determination of heat of combustion of aviation fuel, measurement of burning velocity of a premixed flame and study of the flame lift up and fall back phenomenon for varied Air/Fuel ratio. The lab is equipped with a Cascade testing tunnel for testing of axial compressor or turbine blade rows, and there is an axial flow fan unit for testing axial compression. The propulsion lab is well equipped with all the facilities suitable for undergraduate studies and research. Students will learn the basic working principles of jet engines, reciprocating engines, flame properties, flame stabilisation, etc. The impact of different fuel properties like HCV and LCV can be done, and it is open to external members. Preparation of solid propellant, burning rate of the propellant, specific impulse of a solid motor and hybrid motor using a thrust stand are various experimental facilities related to rocket propulsion available in the lab.
The Structural Engineering Laboratory at MVJ College of Engineering serves a wide spectrum of activities covering those related to teaching, research, development, and consultancy. The primary activities include experimental studies on models/prototypes of structural elements and assemblies under various static and dynamic loading conditions. In addition to the regular academic and research, the structure lab is open to the public for testing of their module; they can have both static and dynamic tests in our laboratory.
The Flight Simulation Laboratory has MATLAB software for stability and control analysis of aircraft, missiles, satellites, and spacecraft. Mathematical modelling and simulation of aircraft and spacecraft can be carried out. Performance work can also be carried out, like estimation of runway roll during take-off and landing, with modelling of hazardous conditions. In addition to the modelling software, the lab is equipped with a flight simulator where students have a real-time experience of piloting. Students can be able to change the environment’s condition and study the conditions of the flight. The simulator will be open to the public for practice, the external members will be allowed batches with having capacity of a minimum of 10 people.
Specifically designated for project activities, it is available for these students, equipped with cutting-edge PC configurations and software such as ANSYS. Students are motivated to extend their working hours beyond regular college time in the lab. Having experienced faculty and researchers in modelling and analysis and it is open for consultancy projects.
The objective of the Aerodynamic Laboratory is to make students understand the nature of flow past various models at different attitudes, thereby providing a source for engineering testing and flow analysis. The nature of pressure distribution over various aerofoil and body shapes is explained. Experiments related to wake and boundary layer surveys provide information on the momentum thickness and displacement thickness.
The Aerodynamics Laboratory houses a subsonic wind tunnel that is used to perform curriculum-based experiments and research activities. The wind tunnel test section has a cross section of 600x600mm, and the length of the test section is 2000mm. It has several related accessories like wake rake, pressure transducers, boundary layer rake and model support system, etc. The lab has advanced equipment for R&D related activity; namely, three-component internal strain gage balance, six-component external strain gauge balance, and hot wire constant temperature anemometer (HWCTA). Several advanced experiments related to the estimation of stability derivatives of various configurations can be done using an external strain gauge balance. Through HWCTA, the turbulence-related experiments can be performed.
Aerodynamics is the subject which deals with objects moving through air. Objects that move through the air are affected by aerodynamic forces. To make students aware of the concepts of lift and drag, this laboratory is equipped with subsonic wind tunnel facilities with smoke flow testing. Students can do the experiments as well as the projects. In addition to the academic, consultancy work will also be carried out for external members at a nominal cost.
