ME2014D - Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer - The course is a part of the Production Engineering (for Undergraduates) curriculum to provide the fundamental knowledge related to Thermodynamics & Heat transfer. Responsibilities include a three-hour classroom-oriented lecture per week, conducting and evaluating of tutorials (8 no's), quiz (3 no's), Mid-Term examination, and End-semester examination. Also, to engage students in co-curricular activities outside the classroom.
ME6212 - Advanced Computational Methods in Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer & ME6412 - Design and Analysis of Energy Systems - Similar to ME2014D, the duties remained the same, except for the class-room oriented lecture per week was limited to one hour. ME6212 course is a part of Thermal Science stream (Graduates), while ME6412 course is a part of Energy Engineering & Management stream (Graduates).
(a) ME6212 - Advanced Computational Methods in Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer - In addition to normal classwork, the course involved mandatory assignments on 'Numerical methods - Solution of linear and non-linear algebraic equations, numerical differentiation & integration'.
ME6491 - Computational Laboratory & ME6493 - Energy Management Laboratory is a part of both the Thermal Science and Energy Engineering & Management stream (Graduates) curriculum.
(a) ME6491 - Computational Laboratory is linked with the ME6212 course, which deals with providing hands-on-experience in solving numerical methods & using ANSYS-Fluent for solving benchmark problems.
(b) ME6493- Energy Management Laboratory intends to provide hands-on-experience on 12 real-scale prototype thermal & energy systems available at Solar Energy Center, Heat Engine Laboratory, and Heat Transfer Laboratory of NIT Calicut. A few of the systems are Indoor solar water heater system (natural and forced convection), PC-based heat pump refrigeration system, Solar air heating, distillation & water heating, Fuel cell system, etc.
ME3091 - Heat transfer laboratory & ME34091 - Heat Engines Laboratory is a part of the Mechanical Engineering curriculum for Undergraduates. The motive of these laboratory sessions is to strengthen their fundamental knowledge involved with basic subjects and to provide a pre-requisite training related with performing experimentation, theoretical calculations, and arriving at notable conclusions based on their experience.
All laboratory sessions are assigned three-hour per week, which extends throughout the semester and ends with a final end-semester evaluation (practical exam & objective test). Every week, the students are continuously monitored and evaluated based on the weekly report submitted based on the experiments conducted. Responsibilities for laboratory sessions consisted of monitoring the entire student batch, explaining the working of an experimental test facility per cycle, assist in weekly evaluation, conducting and evaluating end-semester examination (practical & objective test).
