Suggested Micro-Projects
Only one micro-project is planned to be undertaken by a student that needs to be assigned to him/her in the beginning of the semester. In the first four semesters, the micro-project are group-based. However, in the fifth and sixth semesters, it should be preferably be individually undertaken to build up the skill and confidence in every student to become problem solver so that s/he contributes to the projects of the industry. In special situations where groups have to be formed for micro-projects, the number of students in the group should not exceed three.
The micro-project could be industry application based, internet-based, workshopbased, laboratory-based or field-based. Each micro-project should encompass two or more COs which are in fact, an integration of PrOs, UOs and ADOs. Each student will have to maintain dated work diary consisting of individual contribution in the project work and give a seminar presentation of it before submission. The total duration of the micro-project should not be less than 16 (sixteen) student engagement hours during the course. The student ought to submit micro-project by the end of the semester to develop the industry oriented COs.
A suggestive list of micro-projects are given here. Similar micro-projects could be added by the concerned faculty:
- Prepare charts on fundamentals concepts of thermodynamics. E.g. First/Second law applications, heat and work transfer.
- Investigate energy transfer in thermodynamic system.
- Investigate combustion process and calorific values.
- Prepare at least one model explaining ideal gas processes.
- Prepare at least one model ofboiler mountings and accessories.
- Collect and analyze technical specifications of steam turbines, boilers from manufacturers websites and other sources.
- Prepare a report on steam traps used in steam piping.
- Carry out comparative study of conventional cooling towers, cooling towers used in power plants and upcoming cooling towers. .
- Make power point presentation including videos on heat exchangers commonly used.
- Make models of Shell and Tube, Plate, tube in tube heat exchangers in workshop.
- Organize a group discussion session on relative merits and demerits of different types of turbines, condensers, boilers.
- Make a model of steam condenser and show how vacuum is created after steam condensation.
- Undertake a 03 days training at Thermal Power Plant.
