Thermo LAB

Thermofluid-mechanics Laboratory

The laboratory houses numerous instrumentation to measure the phenomena of, heat transfer and thermal conductivity, conduction, convection and heat transfer. This facility is used to study heat transfer in thermal equipment as well as innovative refrigeration systems. Currently the laboratory is hosting the large-scale ejector chiller for experimental activity and test of new design concepts.

 CFD LAB

Compressible Fluid Dynamics CFD Lab

With a number of 12x2 cores personal workstations, this laboratory enables on site CFD studies about supersonic, single or multiphase flows, cavitation phenomena and other thermo-fluid dynamics problem.  optimization approaches coupled with cfd techniques are also used to improve the performance of industrial equipment. The lab has also access to CINECA super-computing facilities for large CFD simulations involving thousands CPU hours.
