Department of Mechanical Engineering Activities organized 2023-24
1. 3D Printing Workshop
A two-day 3D printing workshop was organized by the department on September 22-23, 2023. Resource person Mr. Rahul Yadav from the firm 3D Bazzar, Gurugram gave training to faculty members and both UG and PG students. The training was conducted on 3D printer Ultimaker S3 procurred by the department earlier under TEQIP III. The training was very well conducted where several 3D models were printed practically. 3D printing is becoming useful day by day for B.Tech and PG level research problems on computer aided design.
2. Talk by Dr Deepak Agarwal, ISRO scientist
Mechanical Engineering Department has arranged an Expert Lecture at the college level by Dr. Deepak Agarwal, Division Head, Heat Transfer Division, PRSE LPSC, ISRO Valiamala, Trivandrum (Alumini of the Department) on the topic “Indian Space Programme: A Journey of Self Reliance” on 20.10.2023.
Initially, in his lecture he has given the historical background of ISRO by narrating the different achievements made by ISRO from the beginning to till date. Dr. Deepak also explained the problems faced during Chandrayan 2 landing and how it has been rectified in Chandrayan 3. His talk covered the intricate technical details and success story of Chandrayan 3.
Next day i.e. on 21.10.2023, an interactive session was conducted with faculty and PG students of the department with Dr. Deepak. In that session Dr. Deepak explained various projects undergoing currently in ISRO. He also discussed various opportunities existing for students in ISRO.
3. Under the G-20 programme organized by the college the department of Mechanical Engineering arranged the following two lectures
1. Speaker: Dr. M.S. Karuna, Head, Department of Chemical Engineering University, M J P Rohilkhand University, Bareilly, Dated : 27.09.2023 spoke on the topic environmental regulations for sustainable growth. He covered the following areas:
2. Speaker : Dr. M.S. Karuna, Head, Department of Chemical Engineering University, M J P Rohilkhand University, Bareilly, Dated : 27.09.2023 spoke on the topic environmental regulations for sustainable growth. He covered the following areas:
Harish Kumar, Faculty at Department of Chemical Engineering, M J P Rohilkhand University, Bareilly-243006, Uttar Pradesh, India spoke on “Applications of nanoparticles in biopolymer films”. The summary of his take is follows:
Indian agriculture is the world's second largest agro-based economies, and about 75% of its people depend on agriculture for their livelihood. As a result, large amounts of approximately 350 million tonnes of lignocellulosic biomass per year are available in India. The cell wall polysaccharides of lignocellulosic biomass are composed of cellulose, hemicelluloses, lignin.
4. Visit of Dr. D. P. Mehta, former faculty of Mechanical Engineering
Dr. D. P. Mehta, Emeritus Distinguished Professor and Chair Mechanical Engineering Department, Bradley University, Peoria, IL (USA), who has been a faculty member of mechanical Engineering during 1962-75 in our university. Dr. Mehta visited various labs of the department and appreciated the facilities available with the labs. He interacted with faculty members of the college and some of the alumni of our college on 21.02.2024 including Dr. R.C. S. Mehta, Dr. K.K. Singh (ex-Professors), Mr. J.C. Belwal (ex-BOM member)and Mr. Khajendra Singh. Dr. Mehta briefed about the research activities going on at Bradley University. He also visited several colleges and centers of the university and expressed his pleasure over the developmental activities going on in the university.
5. Retirement of Dr. V K Gupta
Dr. V K Gupta one of the senior professors of the Mechanical Engineering Department retired on 31 January 2024. A farewell function was organized on this occasion at the Conference room PCT. His colleagues remembered him as a hardworking and polite person whose contributions to the department and college were immense. Dean CT concluded the event with blessings for his future.
6. Extension Activity
Kisan Mela: The department of mechanical Engineering actively participated in Kissan Mela held during March 9 to 12 and displayed the following models which are extensively useful for the farmers. The kisan participants took keen interest in the models and appreciated the ground level work of the department. A brief about the models are as below:
हस्त चलित प्रूनर यंत्र
पहाड़ी क्षेत्रों की महिलाओं को अपने दैनिक कार्यों के लिए पेड़ों की टहनियों या शाखाओं की छटाई करने की आवश्यकता होती है, तथा इन्हे अन्य कार्यो जैसे कि खेतों पर जानवरों से सुरक्षा हेतु बाढ़ लगाना एवं ईधन के रूप में प्रयुक्त किया जाता है। टहनियों के कटान को सुगम बनाने हेतु हाथ से संचालित पेड़ पौधों की छटाई के यंत्र का निर्माण किया गया है। पहाडी क्षेत्रों में रहने वाली महिलाओं द्वारा छटाई का कार्य किया जाता है, जहाँ जंगली जानवरों के आक्रमण का खतरा भी रहता है। इस मषीन में इस आषय को भी ध्यान रखा गया है साथ ही इस यंत्र को पेडों में ऊचाई पर पके फलों को तोड़ने हेतु भी प्रयोग में लाया जा सकता है।
सौर ऊर्जा द्वारा संचालित स्केयर क्रो, का उद्देश्य एक विश्वसनीय और पर्यावरण अनुकूल प्रणाली विकसित करना है जो फसलों को पक्षियों की क्षति से ध्वनि उत्पन्न करके प्रभावी ढंग से बचाता है। पक्षियों के निकट आने पर पक्षियों और जानवरों को डराने के लिए तीव्र ध्वनि उत्पन्न करती है जिससे पक्षी डर जाता है और वहाँ से भाग जाता है।
हस्त चलित पोर्टेबल मोबाइल चार्जिंग यूनिट
यह यंत्र टिकाऊ मोबाइल चार्जिंग के लिए एक अनूठा और अभिनव समाधान है। सौर ऊर्जा और हैंड क्रैंक बिजली उत्पादन के संयोजन से, डिवाइस स्टोरेज बैटरी की आवश्यकता को समाप्त कर देता है और चलते-फिरते मोबाइल उपकरणों को चार्ज करने के लिए बैटरी मुक्त वैकल्पिक व्यवस्था प्रदान करता
साइकिल स्प्रेयर मशीन का उपयोग कीटनाशकों के छिड़काव के लिए किया जाता है और इसे संभालना आसान है। छिड़काव प्रणाली द्वारा एक समय में भूमि की 3 से 4 पंक्तियों को कवर किया जा सकता है। साइकिल स्प्रेयर पंप द्वारा बनाए गए दबाव को चार नोजल में समान रूप से वितरित करता है। इस स्प्रेयर की दक्षता हाथ से चलने वाले पंप से 2.5 गुना अधिक है। यहां निरंतर प्रवाह संभव है क्योंकि 5 किमी प्रति घंटे की गति से चलने वाले व्यक्ति के लिए खेत की पंक्ति में चलना आसान होता है।
