Cold Plate

The cold plate has been designed to extract heat from the chip and reject it to the surrounding environment. Water is used as the working fluid for the removal of heat. Various experiments have developed heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics. The cold plate can be used to remove heat from the chip at different heat inputs by varying the water flow rate.

Precise, accurate and cost-effective device for engine speed control during its testing

Fine engine speed adjustment during laboratory testing is essential to determine its performance. The laboratory experiment of a variable speed engine consists of the multi-cylinder petrol engine test rig on which various parameters can be determined. The system’s main application is to maintain a constant speed during its experimentation. Since the prior arrangements on the engine test rig, maintaining the constant speed is difficult, and the fluctuations were observed. Hence, this assembly makes it possible to fine-adjust the speeds of the engines and determine their performances at various speeds.

Pavan Mitra

‘Pavan Mitra’ will deliver a concise yet effective way to harness wind energy to power household appliances and other power-run devices. It involves the design and development of a mini wind turbine that can be stacked together in a tower. The tower can eventually be placed according to a planned modular architecture in household spaces, terraces, balconies, and many other such environments.
