Direct shear test is a laboratory or field test used by geotechnical engineers to measure the shear strength properties of soil or rock material, or of discontinuities in soil or rock masses. Using the direct shear machine determines the consolidated drained shear strength of a soil material in direct shear.

The objective of this lab is to make the students

• To understand the basic working principle of electronic devices.

• To specify various active and passive electronic components and devices and identify the terminals and to draw the symbols for different electronic components.

• To understand and operate multimeter for current, voltage and resistance measurements.

The digital electronics laboratory will enable the undergraduate students to learn the basic concepts and techniques in digital electronic circuits and systems. The learning objective of this laboratory is to supplement the theory course of digital circuits and systems with adequate introduction to both combinatorial and sequential logic circuits, such as, adders, subtractors, comparator, multiplexer/ demultiplexer, encoders/decoders,

CAD is used to accomplish preliminary design and layouts, design details and calculations, creating 3-D models, creating and releasing drawings, as well as interfacing with analysis, marketing, manufacturing, and end-user personnel. CAD facilitates the manufacturing process by transferring detailed information about a product in an automated form that can be universally interpreted by professionals. It can be used to produce either two-dimensional or three-dimensional diagrams.

MATLAB is a multi-paradigm numerical computing environment and proprietary programming language developed by MathWorks. MATLAB allows matrix manipulations, plotting of functions and data, implementation of algorithms, creation of user interfaces, and interfacing with programs written in other languages, including C, C++, C#, Java, Fortran and Python. An additional package, Simulink, adds graphical multi-domain simulation and model-based design for dynamic and embedded systems.

OpenFOAM (for "Open source Field Operation And Manipulation") is a C++ toolbox for the development of customized numerical solvers, and pre-/post-processing utilities for the solution of continuum mechanics problems, including computational fluid dynamics (CFD).

Drawings made from AutoCAD can be simulated in OpenFOAM after meshing using FEA technique.

Thermal analysis, Statistical analysis, Computational Fluid Dynamics, analysis on Flow behaviors etc. can be performed in OpenFOAM .

. The laboratory provides fundamental and industrial knowledge about modes of heat transfer, like conduction, convection and radiation, and their applications in food industry. These experiments also pave way for inculcating certain innovative skills in the students making them to use the above experimental setups as starting point to take up higher level experimental studies in Heat Transfer associated with food industries.

This lab runs in conjunction with the theory course Fluid Mechanics of B.Tech Food Technology. It is an introductory course where flow behaviour, fluid forces and analysis tools are introduced. The goals of the experiments include determination of forces generated when fluid flow takes place over a solid object, applications of the control volume approach, demonstration of the momentum and energy equations, viscosity measurement and engineering correlations. Experimental setups such as flow through a tube, flow over a flat plate, wind tunnel, smoke tunnel and viscometer are made available to the students. The lab experiments utilize U-tube manometer and digital manometer, a hot-wire anemometer system and data acquisition

The aim of the lab is to give a practical insight to B,Tech Food Technology students for equipments running on Vapour compression cycle. Split AC, Cold storage, has been designed for calculation of C.O.P. and Efficiency of the system. And cut section model of all types of compressors, Air conditioners and condensers are used to give thorough knowledge of their parts, working and maintenance. The cooling loads required for various food products can be calculated using the experimental setups installed in this Laboratory

Mechanical Workshop is a place where students acquire knowledge on the operation of various processes involved in manufacturing and production. This Workshop supports our undergraduate students in manufacturing of food processing equipment and components. The Workshop Practice course makes students competent in handling practical work in engineering environment. Here we manufacture complex precision components and prototypes for undergraduate and Post graduate research projects. This workshop helps the students in the design, assessment and feasibility, the material selection and the sourcing of associated components. The machining of all parts for undergraduate projects can be carried out here.

Mechanical workshop has following sub parts: Carpentry shop, fitting shop, Sheet metal shop, Machine shop, Finishing shop, Welding shop
