        Under the development of thermal engineering laboratory, it is proposed to procure variable compression test rig, pyrometer, data acquisition system, solar water heating test rig, pressure gauge tester, bomb calorimeter and constant temperature bath for conducting research activities in the department.

        Under the development of CAD/CAM laboratory procurement of modeling softwares such as PRO/E, UNIGRAPHICS is proposed to enhance the latest modeling and analysis techniques for the under graduate and post graduate students

        Civil engineering department has been sanctioned grant of Rs. 30.00 lakhs by Department of Science and Technology (DST), Ministry of science and Technology, Government of India under ‘Fund for Improvement of S&T Infrastructure in Universities and Higher Educational Institutions’ (FIST programme-2005) for setting up of Geographic information Systems (GIS). In order to give visibility to the identified department, DST has proposed that the department should be called as ‘DST-FIST sponsored department’.

New Experiments to be conducted:-
• To find the parameters of transmission lines
• To determine the performance of transmission line for different loading conditions.
• To determine the stability limits of transmission lines for different VAR supports.
• To find the effect of addition of shunt reactor, shunt capacitor & series reactor in the transmission line circuit on its operation.
• To find performance of Generator / Transformer / Feeder & Motor under different types of faults and to suggest the appropriate protective relays for these faults.

Increase in scope of old experiments conducted:-
• The old experiments such as 'study 'type now can be performed by actually conducting the tests and simulation.

Latest development in Technology to be demonstrated to student:-
• The latest trends of operating the transmission lines with the application of appropriate VAR support are studied and are confirmed with the results obtained.
• Also the various units such as motor, generator, and feeder are subjected to actual faults and their protection systems are verified & tested.

Flat Plate solar air collectors are mechanically simpler and cheaper. This gives a low thermal efficiency. The use of artificial roughness on a surface is an effective technique to enhance the rate of heat transfer. Howewer,it would result it an increase in frictional losses. In order to keep the friction losses at a minimum level, the turbulence must be created only in laminar sub layer.

It is proposed that the top wall is made rough with metal grits.Experimental investigation will be performed in two parts. First part is indoor test in the laboratory to genetrate data for finding out correlations for Nusselt number and friction factor. Second part is outdoor test to evaluate the thermal performance of the air heater in the field under the actual solar isolation.This research will be also present the thermohydraulic performance.

Experiments related to Engineering Physics and Chemistry subjects of first year of all branches of engineering is conducted in the laboratory. In addition to this regular practicals, intention is to establish and develop resource generation center in the field related to various types of chemical testing and analysis of water. To study dielectric properties of materials which often found usefulness in electrical and chemical industry.

Introducing the students to sophisticated experimental equipments which will really augment and boost their knowledge. The exposure of latest development in technology in the form of new digital instruments will be useful to the graduates at their budding stage.

The proposed equipments will be competent enough to be useful in near future whenever the syllabus will be upgraded. Those equipments provides an opportunity to testing and consultancy services
