Preface
The primary focus of any engineering laboratory/ field work in the technical
education system is to develop the much needed industry relevant competencies and skills.
With this in view, MSBTE embarked on this innovative ‘I’ Scheme curricula for engineering
diploma programmes with outcome-base education as the focus and accordingly, relatively
large amount of time is allotted for the practical work. This displays the great importance of
laboratory work making each teacher; instructor and student to realize that every minute of
the laboratory time need to be effectively utilized to develop these outcomes, rather than
doing other mundane activities. Therefore, for the successful implementation of this
outcome-based curriculum, every practical has been designed to serve as a ‘vehicle’ to
develop this industry identified competency in every student. The practical skills are difficult
to develop through ‘chalk and duster’ activity in the classroom situation. Accordingly, the ‘I’
scheme laboratory manual development team designed the practical to focus on the
outcomes, rather than the traditional age old practice of conducting practical to ‘verify the
theory’ (which may become a byproduct along the way).
This laboratory manual is designed to help all stakeholders, especially the students,
teachers and instructors to develop in the student the pre-determined outcomes. It is expected
from each student that at least a day in advance, they have to thoroughly read through the
concerned practical procedure that they will do the next day and understand the minimum
theoretical background associated with the practical. Every practical in this manual begins by
identifying the competency, industry relevant skills, course outcomes and practical outcomes
which serve as a key focal point for doing the practical. The students will then become aware
about the skills they will achieve through procedure shown there and necessary precautions to
be taken, which will help them to apply in solving real-world problems in their professional
life.
This manual also provides guidelines to teachers and instructors to effectively
facilitate student-centered lab activities through each practical exercise by arranging and
managing necessary resources in order that the students follow the procedures and
precautions systematically ensuring the achievement of outcomes in the students.
Power producing and absorbing devices are essentials for mechanical engineering. It
is necessary for mechanical engineering technologists to analyze working and plot the
performance of devices like internal combustion engines, air compressors, gas turbines so
that he will be able to operate them effectively in an industrial situation. This knowledge is
also useful in selecting suitable prime mover for given application and to maintain and test
the same. This course also gives basic exposure of refrigeration and air-conditioning
equipment which play a vital role in maintaining controlled atmosphere in different domestic
and industrial applications. A separate elective course on Refrigeration and Air-conditioning
is also available in sixth semester for in-depth knowledge of the course.
Although all care has been taken to check for mistakes in this laboratory manual, yet
it is impossible to claim perfection especially as this is the first edition. Any such errors and
suggestions for improvement can be brought to our notice and are highly welcome.
PSO 3: Manage Mechanical Process: Manage the mechanical process by selection and
scheduling right type of machinery, equipment, substrates, quality control techniques,

Guidelines to Teachers
1. Teacher need to ensure that a dated log book for the whole semester, apart from the
laboratory manual is maintained by every student which s/he has to submit for
assessment to the teacher in the next practical session.
2. There will be two sheets of blank pages after every practical for the student to report
other matters (if any), which is not mentioned in the printed practicals.
3. For difficult practicals if required, teacher could provide the demonstration of the
practical emphasizing of the skills which the student should achieve.
4. Teachers should give opportunity to students for hands-on after the demonstration.
5. Assess the skill achievement of the students and COs of each unit.
6. One or two questions ought to be added in each practical for different batches. For this
teachers can maintain various practical related question banks for each course.
7. If some repetitive information like data sheet, use of software tools etc. has to be
provided for effective attainment of practical outcomes, they can be incorporated in
Appendix.
8. For effective implementation and attainment of practical outcomes, teacher ought to
ensure that in the beginning itself of each practical, students must read through the
complete write-up of that practical sheet.
9. During practical, ensure that each student gets chance and takes active part in taking
observations/ readings and performing practical.
10. Teacher ought to assess the performance of students continuously according to the
MSBTE guidelines
Content Page
List of Practical and Progressive Assessment Sheet
A suggestive list of PrOs is given in the above table. More such PrOs can be added to
attain the COs and competency. A judicial mix of minimum 12 or more practical need
to be performed, out of which, the practicals marked as ‘*’ are compulsory, so that the
student reaches the ‘Precision Level’ of Dave’s ‘Psychomotor Domain Taxonomy’ as
generally required by the industry.
I Practical Significance
Internal combustion engine is a device in which combustion occurs inside the engine
cylinder. I.C. engine works in four strokes –suction, compression, expansion and
exhaust. If four stokes takes place in one cylinder then it is called as Single cylinder
I.C. engine. Dismantling is the process of removing all the engine parts to know
various sub-assemblies of engine, identify the parts and their location in the sub-
assemblies and inspect parts to know their physical and functional condition.
Dismantling of I.C. Engine is a feature of preventive as well as breakdown
maintenance. After dismantling or repair, all the parts are put back together. This is
called engine assembly (reassembly). Engine assembly mainly consists of three major
sub-assemblies’ like cylinder and related parts, piston and related parts and valve
mechanism components.
V Practical Outcome
Assemble/Dismantle single cylinder IC Engine.

I Practical Significance
A multi-cylinder engine is a reciprocating internal combustion engine with
multiple cylinders. It can be either a 2-stroke or 4-stroke engine and can be
either Diesel or petrol engine. Multi-cylinder engines offer a number of advantages
over single cylinder engines, chiefly with their ability to neutralize imbalances by
having corresponding mechanisms moving in opposing directions during the
operation of the engine. Dismantling and reassembly of Multi-cylinder is similar to
that of Single cylinder I.C. Engine.

I Practical Significance
Fuel injection pump is required to deliver accurately metered quantity of fuel under
high pressure at the correct instant to the injector. Inline fuel pump- The eccentric
on the camshaft causes constant linear movement of the pushers - the plungers, by the
action of the pushers, push the fuel in the direction of the retention valve - the
pressure is high enough to open the retention valve and the fuel is conducted by pipes
to the injectors - the amount of fuel is controlled by the gear rack -The gear rack
causes rotation movement to the plunger that is function of the accelerator pedal
Rotary fuel pump -Send fuel to plungers - Time duration in close position of electro-
valve determines the injection flow Send fuel to injectors - The plungers are pressed
by cam -Fuel high pressure generated - Distributor rotates to injector flow position.

X Precautions to be Followed
1. Avoid improper handling of I.C. Engine.
2. Operate the I.C. Engine as per given procedure.
3. Before starting the engine, oil level in sump and jacket cooling water supply must
be checked.
4. Never stop the engine on load and never use decompression lever for stopping.
5. Do not tamper with any of engine setting, like governor, fuel injector.
XI Procedure
1. Fill up sufficient diesel in diesel tank.
2. Check oil level in the engine. It should be up to the top edge of the flat
portion provided over the oil dipstick. If oil level is reduced, add up clean
SAE-40 oil to the crankcase by opening the valve cover at the top of the
engine. Replace the cover after filling the oil.
3. Fill up water in Manometer up to half of the manometer height.
4. Start the water supply and see that water is flowing though engine jacket,
brake drum and exhaust gas calorimeter.
5. If diesel tank was empty before filling the diesel, remove air bubbles in fuel
pipe, by opening the vent screw provided at the right side, top of the fuel
pump.
6. Adjust the load on the dynamometer to zero, by releasing the loading screw,
so that there is no tension in the rope.
7. Start the engine. For starting, lift up decompression lever, at the side of the
valve cover. Put the handle over the starting shaft and rotate the shaft. As
engine picks up sufficient speed, drop the decompression lever. The engine
will start. Remove the handle immediately. Allow the engine to get
stabilized.
8. As engine picks up its rated speed, start water to the brake drum.
9. If required, adjust the fuel supply in order to bring the engine to the desired
test speed at which trials to be conducted (further, all the readings are to be
taken at this test speed).
10. Open burette filling cock, take sufficient diesel in burette and close the cock.
11. Now, turn selector cock to ‘BURETTE’ position and note down time
required to consume certain amount of fuel <10 ml or 20 ml etc.) with the
help of fuel gauge and stop watch i.e. ‘t’ second.
12. Note down engine speed with tachometer.
13. Take manometer reading h1and h2. ’
14. Measure quantity of jacket cooling water (mwc) in lit/min. and its inlet
temperature (t1°C) and outlet temperature (t2°C) across the engine jacket.
15. Measure engine room temperature (tr°C).
16. i) Measure temperature of exhaust gases from the engine (t10C)
ii) If exhaust gas calorimeter is used, then measure,
(a) Quantity of. water supplied to the exhaust gas calorimeter (mcc) in lit/min.
(b) Temperature of water inlet to calorimeter (tc1°C)
(c) Temperature of water outlet from the calorimeter (tc2°C)
(d) Temperature of exhaust gas entering the calorimeter (tg1°C)
(e) Temperature of exhaust gas leaving the calorimeter (tg2°C)
17. All the readings taken in step nos. 10 to 16 are for zero load, Note these
readings in the Observation table in the column of zero load.
18. Calculate full brake load capacity of the engine.
19. Apply certain load (say 1/4th of full load) on the dynamometer. In case of
constant speed governor, engine will attain the test speed. In case of variable
speed governor, adjust the fuel supply to bring the engine to test speed at
which test is to be conducted. Note this load in the observation table and take
all readings as in step nos. 10 to 16. Note these readings in the observation
table in the column for this load. .

20. Repeat the same procedure for different loads (say 1/2th of full load, 3/4th of full
load and full load).
21. Determine Frictional Power (F.P.) as follows -
22. On graph paper mark X and Y axis. On X axis take Brake Power (BP) in
KW to some scale. On Y axis take mass of fuel consumed in Kg / min (mf)
to some scale. Mark the points showing X and Y co-ordinates i.e. respective
BP and mfon graph. Draw straight line passing through maximum no. of
points on graph, as shown in the following figure. The plot is known as
Willam’s Line.
23. Distance OA represents FP to some scale. As the trial is conducted at
constant speed, FP is assumed to be same for all loads. Enter FP obtained as
above, in the tabular form of calculation (5.0) in the Sr. No. 11 for all loads.

I Practical Significance
The air compressor is a machine which uses a drive motor to power the device, which
sucks in successive volumes of air from the atmosphere, compresses (squeezes) each
volume of air in the limited space to increase the pressure, resulting in a smaller
amount, and then transfers the air high pressure in the receiver tank. This high
pressure air is removed from the receiving tank for the electrical equipment. When
certain amount of constant discharge of air is displaced, then it is called as a positive
displacement air compressor
Performance of reciprocating compressor is improved by multi-staging. Here
number of staging represents number of cylinder. Two stage reciprocating air
compressor consist of two cylinders. One is called low-pressure cylinder and another
is called high-pressure cylinder. When piston in a low-pressure cylinder is at its outer
dead center (ODC) the weight of air inside a cylinder is zero (neglecting clearance
volume), as piston moves towards inner dead center (IDC) pressure falls below
atmospheric pressure & suction valves open due to a pressure difference.
Air compressors have many uses, including: supplying high-pressure clean air to
fill gas cylinders, supplying moderate-pressure clean air to a submerged surface
supplied diver, supplying moderate-pressure clean air for driving some office and
school building pneumatic HVAC control system valves, supplying a large amount of
moderate-pressure air to power pneumatic tools, such as jackhammers, filling high
pressure air tanks (HPA), for filling tires, and to produce large volumes of moderate-
pressure air for large-scale industrial processes (such as oxidation for petroleum
coking or cement plant bag house purge systems)

I Practical Significance
Domestic (also household refrigerator), an appliance that is used for the short-term
preservation of food products in the home by means of refrigeration. A domestic
refrigerator is a metal cabinet with a built-in hermetically sealed refrigerating unit
When the hot gas in the coils of the condenser meets the cooler air temperature of
the kitchen, it becomes a liquid. Now in liquid form at high pressure, the
refrigerant cools down as it flows through the expansion valve into the evaporator
coils inside the freezer and the fridge. This process of conversion is in cyclic form
known as Vapour Compression Cycle (VCC). Modern refrigerators usually use a
refrigerant called HFC-134a (1,1,1,2-Tetra- fluoro- ethane), which does not deplete
the ozone layer, instead of Freon. The fundamental reason for having
a refrigerator is to keep food cold. Cold temperatures help food stay fresh longer.
The basic idea behind refrigeration is to slow down the activity of bacteria (which
all food contains) so that it takes longer for the bacteria to spoil the food.
A refrigerator does not cool items by lowering their original temperatures; instead,
an evaporating gas called a refrigerant draws heat away, leaving the surrounding
area much colder. Refrigerators and air conditioners both work on the principle of
cooling through evaporation. Thermostat is a component which senses
the temperature of a physical system and performs actions so that the system's
temperature is maintained near a desired set point. A thermostat operates as a
"closed loop" control device, as it seeks to reduce the error between the desired and
measured temperatures. Sometimes a thermostat combines both the sensing and
control action elements of a controlled system, such as in an automotive
thermostat.
V Practical Outcome

I Practical Significance
Domestic. (also household refrigerator), an appliance that is used for the short-term
preservation of food products in the home by means of refrigeration. A domestic
refrigerator is a metal cabinet with a built-in hermetically sealed refrigerating unit
When the hot gas in the coils of the condenser meets the cooler air temperature of the
kitchen, it becomes a liquid. Now in liquid form at high pressure, the refrigerant cools
down as it flows through the expansion valve into the evaporator coils inside the
freezer and the fridge.
Modern refrigerators usually use a refrigerant called HFC-134a (1,1,1,2-
Tetrafluoroethane), which does not deplete the ozone layer, instead of Freon.

I Practical Significance
Window air conditioning unit is a factory assembled air conditioning unit. Casing of
the unit is divided into indoor portion and outdoor portion. Indoor portion which faces
the room consists of evaporator, blower, filter and control unit. Outdoor portion
consists of compressor, condenser and its fan. The main components of a water cooler
and window/split air conditioning units are the compressor, the condenser, the
expansion valve and the evaporator. In summer due to hot climate ,the quench of
thrust is not satisfied by normal water. Since water cooler are developed. According
to their line of performance, they are broadly classified as storage type and
Instantaneous type. According to various climate zone ,the comfort zone is not
available without any external mode of comfort. The most popular comfort zone
provided by air conditioning system(A.C.) which is broadly classified as window
/split A.C. A.C. not only provide comfort zone ,but also it purifies air, maintain
humidity and temperature. All the above devices are also work on heart of
refrigeration system ,that is Vapour Compression Cycle (VCC)
