1. Abstract: Mechanics is one of the oldest branch of physics. Apart from being important to various other fields of engineering, it lays the foundations for almost all the important subjects in mechanical and civil engineering like machine design, theory of machines, structural analysis, stress analysis, vibrations and fluid and solid mechanics. Hence, this is a fundamental course which is offered to the undergraduate students in mechanical as well as civil engineering. The subject matter of this course would be limited to the statics, kinematics and kinetics of a point mass and rigid bodies only. 2. Objectives: To quote Gross et al. “the tasks of mechanics include the description and determination of the motion of bodies, as well as the investigation of the forces associated with the motion”. Keeping this task in mind, the main objective of the course is to introduce the basic principles of mechanics to analyze the motion and associated forces in the problems of practical significance. In particular the objectives of this course are
to introduce different systems of forces and methods of their analysis
to introduce and investigate the problem of equilibrium in two & three dimensions
to introduce laws of friction and it’s applications to mechanical components like wedge, belt-pulley, brakes etc.
to familiarize students with the concepts of work, conservative forces, potential energy and principle of virtual work
to introduce energy and momentum methods for solving dynamic problems related to point mass and rigid bodies.

1. Abstract:
A course on the theory of mechanisms and machines is one of the fundamental courses
offered to the undergraduate students in mechanical engineering. Machine design is an
important activity while doing engineering analysis for solving the real life problems.
Keeping this requirement in mind, this course is designed to include kinematic & dynamic
analysis and synthesis of mechanisms. Both lower- and higher-pair mechanisms
would be discussed. As this is the first course on the theory of mechanisms and machines the
subject matter would be limited to planar mechanisms only. The dynamic force and motion
analysis of slider-crank mechanism and the balancing of inertia forces and moments in
machines would be discussed in detail. Apart from that, in the form of the governors, the
students would be introduced to one of the simplest examples of mechanical feedback control
system.
2. Objectives:
As the authors of one of the text books (Theory of Mechanisms and Machines by Prof. Ghosh
& Prof. Mallik) of this course put it “the major objectives of the subject theory of
mechanism and machine are to provide the engineers the necessary tools to
systematically synthesize a system which means scientifically arriving at the critical shapes
and dimensions of the bodies constituting the system.” In particular the objectives of the
course are
to introduce the important concepts like kinematic pairs, degrees of freedom,
kinematic chains, kinematic inversions etc.;
to introduce analytical and graphical methods for kinematic analysis of planar
mechanisms;
to introduce various problems related to the dimensional synthesis of the
linkages;
to introduce fundamentals of Cams and different types of Gears and
Gear Trains;
to introduce one of the simplest form of mechanical feedback systems in the
form of governors.

Course Name: Heat and Mass Transfer
Instructor: Monoj Bardalai
1. Abstract:
The course is basically an integral part of thermal engineering which is very essential for
mechanical, aerospace, nuclear, automobile and chemical engineering students in the
undergraduate level. Starting from the everyday life to any fields of engineering processes or
in any machinery, heat transfer operation is observed. Along with heat transfer, in many
phenomenon the mass transfer is also involved. So, the course covers the various modes of
heat transfer, characteristics of different heat transfer modes as well as the related mass
transfer problems with practical point of view. The heat transfer principle follows the 1st and
2nd law of thermodynamics as well as some other laws like Fick’s law related to mass transfer
problem. Since the heat transfer or heat energy interaction which is a transit form of energy
between two bodies or surfaces or fluids due to the difference of temperature and at the same
time the mass transfer due to the concentration gradient is a very important parameter, so the
engineers must have a good knowledge about it before going to design or deal any
machineries or phenomena where heat and mass transfer is observed.
2. Objective: The course tries to fulfil the following objectives-
1. To have a sound knowledge about the various modes and mechanisms of heat and
mass transfer in theoretical and practical situations.
2. To have the clear concept of both theoretical and numerical basis of various heat and
mass transfer problems.
3. To make learner able to design and model various parts, machineries dealing with
heat and mass transfer.
4. To make one’s foundation to do some research work based on the heat and mass
transfer related problems.
6. Prerequisites of the course:
Knowledge of basic thermodynamics (ME 211) and Engineering Mathematics is
essential for this course.

1. Abstract: This course is one of the important core courses for Mechanical Engineering
student. Drawing is the universal language of engineers for communication and
documentation of engineering design. The subject “Machine Drawing” is related to
visualization of objects from pictorial view. This subject mainly concerned to draw the
orthographic view from pictorial view and vice-versa. It is difficult to visualize a three-
dimensional (3D) object from its orthographic view. Therefore, in the first step, to get a clear
concept about the 3D object, the orthographic view will be drawn from pictorial view of the
3D object and vice-versa. In the second step, after assembly of different machine parts, the
orthographic views will be drawn from pictorial view and vice-versa.
2. Objective: The main objectives of this course are -
To set forth the fundamental principles of applied plane and solid geometry
Drawing of orthographic views and sectional orthographic views from pictorial view
and vice-versa of different objects to acquire the basic concept on 3D objects
Assembly of different complex machine parts and drawing of orthographic views
Introduction to CAD software and drafting of 2D figures
9. Prerequisites of the course: Engineering Graphics (ME101). The basic skills expected
from the student that they have sufficient knowledge to draw any view or any sectional
view for any orientation of simple objects like lines, planes, solids etc.

Instructor: Sushen Kirtania, Asst. Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering,
Phone: +91 3712275857, Email: [email protected]
1. Abstract: In the last two-three decades, there have been intense needs for new materials
with desired properties like strength, stiffness, toughness, high wear resistance, reduced
weight, high fatigue life, thermal insulation, conductivity etc. All the desired properties are
difficult to find in a single material. Many of the above properties could be achieved in
composites materials. Composite materials are made by combining two or more materials but
within the composite materials the constituting materials retain their parent properties. The
most important characteristics of composite materials are that their properties can be tailored
i.e. one can design the required properties. The biggest advantage of modern composite
materials is that they are light as well as strong. Although the resulting product is more
efficient but raw materials are often expensive. Therefore, scientist and researchers are giving
special attention towards the development of cheaper advanced composite materials.
2. Objective: The main objectives of this course are -
to understand the importance of composites materials.
to be familiar with the properties and characteristics of composite materials.
to acquire the concept of tailored design philosophy.
to acquire knowledge on the role of interface between fiber and the matrix.
