Questions

Which syllabus does the Applied Thermodynamics Lab course follow?

It follows the AKTU (Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University, Lucknow) B.Tech syllabus for Applied Thermodynamics Lab. If your own university's syllabus differs, the centre follows your university syllabus.

Will this help in the university examination?

Yes. Experiments are explained with aim, theory, procedure, observation table, calculation and viva questions, so you can write the lab file and face the practical exam confidently.

Are boilers run in the lab?

Most colleges use cut-section models and charts for boilers and turbines; engines and fuel tests are run on real test rigs. We explain both.
