Fluid Mechanics Laboratory
The fluid mechanics laboratory focus on the study of fluid behavior, forces and analysis tools are introduced. The goals of the laboratory includes applications of control volume approach, demonstration of momentum and energy equations etc. These studies will help students to exactly monitor and predict the water usage during distribution.
Soil Sciences Laboratory
Soil sciences laboratory covers the detailed approach on the soil and its characters. Major equipments are internal pipette system, Proctors compaction equipment, Sand pouring cylinder etc. This Laboratory will input the basic soil relationships with water and other factors. Major outcome of the laboratory is to understand the behavior of soil under different condition
Surveying & Levelling Laboratory
Surveying & Levelling Laboratory aims about the study of ground topography. The difference in levels between one land to other land. Contour study helps in setting out water resources for a irrigation land. Surveying laboratory clearly defines the nature of land forms and its profile. Advanced surveying equipments such as Total station promote the easiness in surveying
Tractors and Farm Engines Laboratory
Tractors and Farm Engines laboratory derives the importance and effect of modernization in agriculture, its spread has been in the most uneven manner. Transformation made from animal drawn tools to power drawn equipments. This laboratory provides the study on diesel engine, petrol engine, differential gearing system, clutch and steering system
Strength of Materials Laboratory
Strength of materials laboratory imparts the knowledge on the behavior and performance of materials to different type of loadings. The laboratory tests such as tension test, compression test, flexural test, hardness test, split tensile strength were performed.
