OBJECTIVE OF AN THERMODYNAMICS LABORATORY

THE MAIN OBJECTIVES ARE:

1.   TO UNDERSTAND AND VERIFY THE FUNDAMENTAL LAWS AND PRINCIPLES OF THERMODYNAMICS THROUGH EXPERIMENTS.

2.   TO STUDY THE PERFORMANCE OF THERMAL SYSTEMS SUCH AS ENGINES, COMPRESSORS, TURBINES, HEAT EXCHANGERS, AND REFRIGERATION UNITS.

3.   TO DEVELOP SKILLS IN MEASURING PROPERTIES LIKE PRESSURE, TEMPERATURE, FLOW RATE, AND HEAT TRANSFER.

4.   TO ANALYZE ENERGY CONVERSION PROCESSES AND EVALUATE EFFICIENCIES OF THERMAL MACHINES.

5.   TO PROVIDE HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE IN OPERATING, CALIBRATING, AND MAINTAINING THERMODYNAMIC EQUIPMENT.

6.   TO CORRELATE THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE WITH PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS IN POWER GENERATION, REFRIGERATION, AND OTHER THERMAL SYSTEMS.

7.   TO INCULCATE SAFETY PRACTICES WHILE WORKING WITH HIGH-TEMPERATURE AND HIGH-PRESSURE SYSTEMS.
