Preamble

The driving force in engineering mathematics is the rapid growth of technology and the
sciences. Matrices have been found to be of great utility in many branches of engineering
applications such as theory of electric circuits, aerodynamics, mechanics and so on. Many
physical laws and relations can be expressed mathematically in the form of differential
equations. Based on this we provide a course in matrices, calculus and differential
equations.

(Common with 14MT220- Free Body Mechanics)

Preamble
Mechanics is the branch of physics concerned with the behaviour of physical bodies when
subjected to forces or displacements, and the subsequent effect of the bodies on their
environment. The discipline has its roots in several ancient civilizations. Scientists such as
Galileo, Kepler and especially Newton, during the early modern period, laid the foundation
for what is now known as classical mechanics. The often-used term ‘body’ in the field of
mechanics stands for a wide assortment of objects, including particles, projectiles,
spacecraft, stars, parts of machinery, parts of solid, parts of fluids (gases and liquids) etc.
Distinctions between the various sub-disciplines of mechanics, concern the nature of the
bodies being described. Sub-disciplines of mechanics include Newtonian mechanics
(dynamics, theory of motion and forces), Lagrangian mechanics (a theoretical formalism
based on the principle of conservation of energy), Hamiltonian mechanics (another
theoretical formalism based on the principle of the least action), Celestial mechanics (the
motion of heavenly bodies: planets, comets, stars, galaxies, etc.), Astrodynamics (spacecraft
navigation etc.), Solid mechanics (properties of rigid bodies), Elasticity (properties of semi-
rigid bodies), Acoustics (density variation propagation in solids, fluids and gases), Statics
(semi-rigid bodies in (mechanical equilibrium), Fluid mechanics (the motion of fluids), Soil
mechanics (mechanical behavior of soils), Continuum mechanics (mechanics of continua -
both solid and fluid), Hydraulics (mechanical properties of liquids), Fluid statics (liquids in
equilibrium)

METAL CASTING AND FORMING Category L T P Credit

14ME230 PC 3 0 0 3
PROCESSES
Preamble
Casting is a manufacturing process by which a liquid material is usually poured into a mold,
which contains a hollow cavity of the desired shape, and then allowed to solidify. The
solidified part is also known as a casting, which is ejected or broken out of the mold to
complete the process. Casting is most often used for making complex shapes that would be
otherwise difficult or uneconomical to make by other method. Metal casting is one of the
most common casting processes. Products may be discrete products like nails, piston,
engine blocks or continuous products like rod, tube and pipes of metal or plastics. Plastics
are commonly used in almost all products.
Forming or metal forming, is the metal working process of fashioning metal parts and objects
through mechanical deformation; the work piece is reshaped without adding or removing
material, and its mass remains unchanged. The rolling is the primary process to produce
billets, slabs and sheets, which are subsequently used to produce parts such as tubes,
panels, car doors, PC panels, computer casing, utensils, and so on. Rapid prototyping is a
group of techniques used to quickly fabricate a scale model of a physical part or assembly
using three-dimensional computer aided design (CAD) data.
The first and second parts of this course aim to provide knowledge on the working,
advantages, limitations and applications of various metal casting and forming processes.

Preamble

Statistics, as a subject, is a science of learning from data and provides tools for making
decisions when conditions of uncertainty prevail. The mechanical engineers play a
significant role in designing and developing new products and manufacturing systems and
processes and reliability. Statistical techniques are an important tool in these activities
because they provide the engineer with both descriptive and analytical methods for dealing
with the variability in observed data. The course is designed to impart the knowledge and
understanding of the statistical techniques to Mechanical Engineers and apply them in their
areas of specialization.

Preamble
Fluid mechanics is defined as the science that deals with the behavior of fluids at rest (fluid
statics) or in motion (fluid dynamics) and the interaction of fluids with solids or other fluids at
the boundaries. Fluid mechanics itself is also divided in to several categories. The study of
the motion of fluids that are practically incompressible (such as liquids, especially water and
gases at low speeds) is usually referred to as hydrodynamics. Gas dynamics deals with the
flow of fluids that undergo significant density changes such as the flow of gases through the
nozzle at high speeds. The occurrence of normal shocks and constant area flow with friction
(Fanno flow) and constant area flow with heat transfer (Rayleigh flow) are the branches of
gas dynamics used to acquire knowledge in compressible flow.

PC 3 0 0 3

Preamble
The concept of geometric modeling is evolved rapidly due to the development of computer
graphics, computer aided design and manufacturing technologies. Geometric modeling is
the base for the computer aided design (CAD) and it embraces computational geometry and
extends to the field of solid modeling, creating an elegant synthesis of geometry. The
construction of an entity is usually a computer aided operation. Computer graphics,
Computer aided design and computer aided manufacturing have been the driving forces
behind the rapid development of geometric modeling schemes. Robotics, computer vision
and artificial intelligence are also making increasing demands on geometric modeling
capabilities.

Preamble

Machining is one among the manufacturing processes for converting raw materials into end
products. The end product is obtained by machining the unwanted material from a metal
block / stock in the form of chips. Machine tools are power driven machine for making
products of a given shape, size and accuracy by removing metal from the metal block. Most
of the products get their final shape and size by metal removal. Products may be piston,
engine blocks, cams, gear, shafts, hubs, flange etc.
This course aims to provide knowledge on the working, advantages, limitations and
applications of various machining processes.

BS 3 0 0 3

Preamble
Engineering profession involves lots of decision making. The decisions may range from
operation to non-operation. For taking decisions of these kinds an engineer needs among
other things data about the organization’s routine operations and non-routine operations.
Accounting is a science which provides all the data by recording, classifying, summarizing
and interpreting the various transactions taking place in an organization and thereby helps
an engineer in taking vital decisions in an effective manner. Finance is an allied but a
separate field relying on accounting, and enables engineers in taking useful financial and
cost related decisions by providing well defined concepts, tools and techniques.

14ME540 HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER
PC 2 2 0 3

Preamble

Heat and mass are two different forms of energy. Heat is the form of energy that can be
transferred from one system to another as a result of temperature difference. The science
that deals with the determination of the rates of heat energy transfers is Heat transfer. In
engineering practice, an understanding of the mechanisms of heat transfer is becoming
increasingly important since heat transfer plays a crucial role in the design of vehicles, power
plants, refrigerators, electronic devices, buildings, and bridges, among other things. Mass
transfer refers to the movement of a chemical species from a high concentration region
toward a lower concentration one relative to the other chemical species present in the
medium. Mechanisms of heat and mass transfer are analogous to each other. The
objectives of this course are to understand the basic principles of heat transfer, to develop
an intuitive understanding of the heat transfer mechanisms and apply the knowledge to
analyse heat transfer systems in real world engineering applications and to understand the
principle and mechanisms of mass transfer with little effort by using the knowledge of heat
transfer.

Course Level Assessment Questions

Course Outcome 1 (CO1):

1. A pipe is insulated to reduce the heat loss from it. However, measurements indicate that
the rate of heat loss has increased instead of having decreased. Can the measurement
be right?
2. Starting with energy balance equation derive the three dimensional, steady state heat
conduction equation with heat generation.
3. A laboratory furnace wall is constructed of 0.2 m thick fire clay bricks ( k= 1 W/m K). The
wall is covered on the outer surface with a thick layer of insulating material (k = 0.07 W/m
K). The furnace inner brick surface is at 1250 K and the outer surface of the insulating
material is at 320C. If the maximum allowable heat transfer rate through the wall of the
furnace is 900 W/m2, how thick must the insulating layer be?
4. A long cylinder of radius 150 mm and at an initial uniform temperature of 530 0 C is
suddenly exposed to an environment at 300 C. The convection heat transfer coefficient
between the surface of the cylinder and the environment is 380 W/m 2 K. The thermal
conductivity and thermal diffusivity of the cylinder material are 200 W/ m K and 8.5 x 10-5
m2/s respectively. Determine the temperature at a radius of 120 mm after the time
duration of 265 seconds.
5. One end of long rod of diameter 10 mm is inserted into a furnace. The temperatures
measured at two points A and B, 40 mm apart gave 2650 C and 1500 C respectively. If

conductivity of the material.

Course Outcome 2 (CO2):

1. Give the physical significance of Prandtl number.
2. Explain the development of velocity and thermal boundary layer for flow over a flat plate.
3. A flat plate 1 m wide and 1.5 m long is to be maintained at 90oC to air with a free stream

By suitable heat transfer analysis, determine the temperature of the outer surface of the
person. The average human body can be treated as a 0.3 m diameter cylinder with an
exposed surface area of 1.6 m2. Take the property values at free stream temperature of
250 C.
5. Air at 2 atm and 2000 C is heated as it flows through a tube with a diameter of 2.54 cm at

the other at 6000 C. The emissivities of the plates are 0.2 and 0.5 respectively. The
plates are located in a very large room, the walls of which are maintained at 300 C. The
plates exchange heat with each other and with the room, but only the plate surface
facing each other are to be considered in the analysis. Find the net transfer to each
plate and to the room.
5. Two square plates, each 1 m by 2 m are perpendicular to each other. The hot plate is at

Preamble

In science and engineering, objects of interest have to be characterized by measurement

and testing. Measurement is an essential activity in every branch of technology and science
and it is the process of experimentally obtaining quantity values that can reasonably be
attributed to a property of a body or substance. Metrology is the science of measurement.
Globalization of research, development and manufacture has produced greatly increased
attention to international standards of measurement. It is no longer sufficient to achieve
internal consistency in measurements within a local manufacturing facility; measurements
must now be able to be reproduced accurately anywhere in the world. In a time of constant
and rapid technological development, it would be quite ambitious to develop and present a
course that claimed to cover each and every industrial measuring type of equipment.

PE 3 0 0 3

Preamble
Additive Manufacturing is a group of techniques used to quickly fabricate a scale model of
a physical part or assembly using three-dimensional computer aided design (CAD)
data. Construction of the part or assembly is usually done using 3D printing or "additive layer
manufacturing" technology. Additive manufacturing improves product development by
enabling better communication in a concurrent engineering environment and also reduces
product development cycle time. This course aims to provide knowledge on the additive
manufacturing and its application, advantages, limitations.

Preamble
Robotics is the applied science of motion control for multi-axis manipulators and is a large
subset of the field of "mechatronics" (Mechanical, Electronic and Software engineering for
product or systems development, particularly for motion control applications). Robotics,
sensors, actuators and controller technologies are continuously improving and evolving
synergistically. In the 20th century, engineers have mastered almost all forms of motion
control and have proven that robots and machines can perform almost any job that is
considered too heavy, too tiring, too boring or too dangerous and harmful for human beings.
This course supports the students to design and develop multi-DOF manipulator and
wheeled mobile robot.

Preamble

Marketing management is a business discipline which is focused on the practical application

of marketing techniques and the management of a firm's marketing resources and activities.
Rapidly emerging forces of globalization have compelled firms to market beyond the borders
of their home country making International Marketing highly significant and an integral part of
a firm's marketing strategy. Marketing managers are often responsible for influencing the
level, timing, and composition of customer demand.

14ME610 OPERATIONS RESEARCH BS 2 2 0 3

Preamble
Operations Research is a scientific approach to decision making that leads to best
design and operate a system, usually under the conditions requiring the allocation of limited
resources.
The term Operations research was coined during world war II when the British military
leaders asked scientists and engineers to analyze several military problems such as the
management of convoy, bombing, anti submarine and mining operations.
A model is an abstraction or Mathematical representation of a problem of interest and is an
essential part of the process of solving that problem optimally. However, it is difficult and
sometimes impossible ,to develop a mathematical model that reveals all the aspects of the
problem and its planning environment, since most real world problems are too complex.
As the modelling approach provides solutions to the simplified or approximated problem , it
is possible to have a significant error between those solutions and the subjectively obtained
realistic solution to the original problem.

SYSTEMS PC 2 2 0 3

Preamble
A transmission is a machine in a power transmission system, which provides controlled
application of the power. A transmission has multiple speed ratios with the ability to switch
between them as speed varies. This switching may be done manually or automatically.
Single-ratio transmissions also exist, which simply change the speed and torque of output.
This course is concerned with design of mechanical transmission systems for engineering
applications.

Preamble
The increasing need for finishing goods in large quantities has led engineers to
search for and to develop new methods for manufacturing. As a result of developments in
the various manufacturing processes, it is now possible to mass-produce high quality
durable goods at low cost. One of the manufacturing processes is assembly process that is
required when two or more components are to be secured together. The history of assembly
process development is closely related to the history of the development of mass-production
methods. The assembly process is concerned with prediction of time taken to accomplish
the various tasks such as grasp, orient, insert and fasten. This process can be carried out
manually and/or automatically based on its cost estimation.Besides, Design for Assembly
(DFA) provides systematic procedure and guidelines for evaluating and improving the
product design for both manufacture and assembly economically.

Also, given is that line efficiency E=0.96 and manning level M=1. Determine the
theoretical minimum number of workers required on the assembly line.

3. A small electrical appliance is to be produced on a single model assembly line. The

work content of assembling the product has been reduced to the work elements
listed in Table 1. The table also lists the standard times that have been established
for each element as well as the precedence order in which they must be performed.
The line is to be balanced for an annual demand of 100,000 units/yr. The line will
operate 50 weeks/year, 5 shifts/week and 7.5 hours/shift. Manning level will be one
worker per station. Previous experience suggests that the uptime efficiency for the
line will be 96%, and repositioning time lost per cycle will be 0.08 min. Determine:
(i) total work content time Twc,
(ii) required hourly production rate Rp to achieve the annual demand,
(iii) cycle time Tc
(iv) theoretical minimum number of workers required on the line, and
(v) service time Ts, to which the line must be balanced.

Course Outcome 4 (CO4):

1. Differentiate indexing and free-tranfser machine.
2. Discuss the effect of part quality on downtime of indexing machines.
3. A 20--station transfer line is being proposed to machine a certain component currently
produced by conventional methods. The proposal received from the machine tool builder
states that the line will operate at a production rate of 50 pc/hr at 100% efficiency. From
similar transfer lines, it is estimated that breakdowns of all types will occur with a
frequency F = 0.10 breakdown per cycle and that the average downtime per line stop will
be 8.0 min. The starting casting that is machined on the line costs Rs.3.00 per part. The
line operates at a cost of Rs.75.00/hr. The 20 cutting tools (one tool per station) last for
50 parts each, and the average cost per tool = Rs.2.00 per cutting edge Based on this
data, compute the following: (a) production rate, (b) line efficiency, and (c) cost per unit
piece produced on the line.

Course Outcome 5 (CO5):

1. The controller assembly as in figure 6 has been assembled manually. If the company

To reduce emissions from an SI engine, should AF be set at rich, lean, or
stoichiometric? Explain the advantages and disadvantages of each. (c) Why is it
good to place a catalytic converter as close to the engine as possible? Why is this
bad?
2. It is desired to use electricity to preheat the catalytic converter on a four-cylinder SI
engine of 2.8-liter displacement. The preheat zone of the converter consists of 20%

Preamble
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) provides an introduction to the use of computational
techniques to analyze fluid flow and heat transfer in problems of practical engineering
interest. By studying a variety of flow situations students will develop a better intuition of fluid
mechanics more quickly than is possible with traditional analytical approaches. At the end of
the course students will understand the process of developing a geometrical model of the
flow, applying appropriate boundary conditions, meshing, specifying solution parameters,
and visualizing the results. They will also have an appreciation for merits of different
solutions and the factors limiting the accuracy of CFD solutions.

Preamble

Composite materials (also called composition materials or shortened to composites) are

materials made from two or more constituent materials with significantly different physical or
chemical properties, that when combined, produce a material with characteristics different from
the individual components. The individual components remain separate and distinct within the
finished structure. The new material may be preferred for many reasons: common examples
include materials which are stronger, lighter or less expensive when compared to traditional
materials. This course covers the fundamentals of composite material and manufacturing of
various composite materials

14ME1F0 INDUSTRIAL HYDRAULICS
PC 1 0 0 1

Preamble

The use of hydraulics for power and motion control has been increasing dramatically in the
fields of industrial automation, aviation, automotive, defence, construction and material
handling. Unlike many mechanical systems, hydraulic systems can deliver a brute force with
pin point accuracy in a split second – and all at the same time. With the advent of
proportional and servo hydraulic technology, PLCs and PCs have started to interact with
hydraulic actuators directly delivering the ultimate in precision and power transmission.
Today industrial hydraulics is an important and matured topic, without which any discussion
on power and motion control is incomplete.
This course attempts to expose the students to the basics of industrial hydraulics,
fundamental design aspects, associated components, contemporary technologies in the field
and application areas.

14ME1G0 3D PRINTING
PC 1 0 0 1

Preamble

Traditional manufacturing driven by 'subtraction' saw a sign change in 1987: 3D Systems's

launch of Stereo-Lithography Apparatus (SLA), demonstrated a new way of manufacturing
through 'addition'. The class of these new processes is known as Rapid Prototyping (RP) or
3D Printing (3DP) or, more appropriately, Layered Manufacturing (LM) and Additive
Manufacturing (AM). 3D Printing realizes complex objects in layers directly from their CAD
definitions. The result is total automation which revolutionized the way products are
designed and manufactured today. These are effective tools for drastically compressing
time-to-market. 3D Printing has come a long way in terms of materials, quality and process
capabilities. It could initially make only polymer components whereas ceramic and metallic
parts are possible today. In terms of geometric quality and material homogeneity and variety
also, 3D printed parts have improved tremendously although they are still not comparable to
machined parts. Several post-build processes have emerged today to improve the surface
quality (e.g. liquid polishing) and material integrity (e.g. Hot Iso-static Pressing (HIP)). 3D
Printing, in conjunction with these post-build processes, facilitates rapid development of
even very serious products such as an aero-engine or an implant. 3D Printing and these
allied post-build processes together are known as Rapid Manufacturing (RM). RM is
considered a very important driver of the ongoing "Third Industrial Revolution" driven by the
Internet.
RM can handle with ease challenging geometric and material complexities which
were hitherto impossible or extremely difficult. Some of these geometric capabilities are (a)
conformal cooling channels, (b) assemblies without joints, (c) customized solutions for
aesthetic, ergonomic and bio-medical applications and (d) difficult/impossible shapes by
other means; these material capabilities are (a) a variety of monolithic materials, (b) lattice
structure such as honeycomb, (c) gradient matrix and (d) non-equilibrium matrix. While
traditional Design for Manufacture (DFM) restricts the designers, Design for Rapid
Manufacture (DFRA) gives them more freedom with these deigns possibilities.
There are a variety of options available in RM processes today which fall into three
major groups: (a) 3D Printing, (b) RM for polymers and (c) RM for all materials. By 3D
printing, the author refers to cheaper AM processes (say, 1,000-15,000 USD) which can be
part of any design office just as 2D printers. These are limited to only polymers, have hardly
any material options and are not accurate for any serious applications of assembly or testing
or durability. Its usage is in quick physical realization of a design for visualization and
reviews. "RM for polymers" refers to the processes which cater to mostly polymer
components but with assured quality, wide material variety and durability for more serious
applications of form, fit and functional tests. "RM for all materials" is the highest level which
includes metals and ceramics and it goes beyond prototyping. RM, through its many facets
of direct and indirect routes (Vacuum Casting, Epoxy Tooling, Rapid Casting etc.), can be
useful in regular production as well. While 3DP has linearity of cost with quantity, RM has the
distinction of cost reducing with quantity. While "total automation" is the goal in 3D Printing,
RM focuses on "optimal automation".

14ME1K0 NON DESTRUCTIVE TESTING
PC 1 0 0 1

Preamble

Non destructive testing (NDT) is the process of inspecting, testing, or evaluating materials,
components or assemblies for discontinuities, or differences in characteristics without
destroying the serviceability of the part or system. In other words, when the inspection or
test is completed the part can still be used. Today modern nondestructive tests are used in
manufacturing, fabrication and in-service inspections to ensure product integrity and
reliability, to control manufacturing processes, lower production costs and to maintain a
uniform quality level. During construction, NDT is used to ensure the quality of materials and
joining processes during the fabrication and erection phases, and in-service NDT inspections
are used to ensure that the products in use continue to have the integrity necessary to
ensure their usefulness and the safety of the public. Common NDT methods
include ultrasonic, magnetic-particle, liquid penetrant, radiographic, remote visual inspection
(RVI), eddy-current testing, and low coherence interferometry. This course aim to provide
knowledge on the working, types, advantages, limitations, and applications of various NDT
techniques.

14ME1N0 SIX SIGMA
PC 1 0 0 1

Preamble
Six Sigma was originally developed at Motorola in the 1980's and has become one of the
most widely discussed and reported trends in business over the past years, thanks largely to
the phenomenal successes of the Six Sigma program at world's most successful companies.
Six Sigma methodologies enable organizations to achieve high quality in their products. It
can be applied to organization wide products, processes and services. This uses data and
statistical tools to systematically improve processes and sustain their improvements.
Organizations have developed and improved their business processes effectively by using
Six Sigma tools and methodologies. Six Sigma starts with capturing customer requirements,
translating them into product functional requirements, designing a product to meet these
requirements, measuring the performance of the product to ensure that it meets the
customer expectations and then deliver a quality product to the customers. The most
important benefit of Six Sigma comes is in the form of financial gains that result from the
elimination of defects and optimization of processes. This course enables students to know
what six sigma is all about and how to apply it in real life problems and deals with a problem
solving approach using a set of soft and statistical tools.

VISION BASED DIMENSIONAL Category L T P Credit

MEASUREMENT PE 1 0 0 1
Preamble
Customers demand flawless goods of the highest quality. Random checks cannot guarantee
to deliver on quality products. Machine vision systems conduct a 100% quality check of
individual components reliably and cost-effectively. When examining continuous flow of
materials, machine vision systems keep pace with the highest speeds in detecting the
smallest of flaws. In checking component parts, several different views of a component can
be generated to check for surface defects, dimensional accuracy, completeness and other
characteristics. For example, circuit boards are checked to ensure that strip conductors and
soldered contacts are in order and all components are present in the electronics industry.
Dimensional or shape checking and gauging is one of the most demanding applications in
industrial practices. It is actually possible to reach accuracies of just a few light wavelengths,
but requires considerable effort. Precise results can be achieved with the selection of optics,
illumination, mechanical set up and image capture. Moreover, dimensional checking can
take many forms, relatively coarse measuring of part dimensions to high accuracy gauging in
the micrometer range. On these considerations, this course aims to provide an experience
in selecting suitable optics and illumination techniques which are the significant parameters
in the successful implementation of machine vision system.

Preamble
Materials used for aircraft are expected to be light weight and at the same time, they should
possess required mechanical, thermal, physical, corrosion and tribological properties based on
the intended application. In general, Aircraft structural application demands high strength to
weight ratio, excellent fatigue, flexural and corrosion properties. In contrast, aeroengine parts
demand high thermal fatigue, thermal stability, hot corrosion resistance and low cycle fatigue,
creep resistance properties. These requirements make a choice of the material unique in
aircrafts. In a brief, composites and Al, Mg, Ni and Ti alloys are used in aircraft structures
whereas super alloys, MMC and Ti alloys are preferred for aeroengine applications. The
components for aircraft are usually fabricated with casting, forging, powder metallurgy and
machining processes. However, the product acceptance has very strict quality requirements in
terms of NDTs. In this course, aircraft materials and manufacturing processes are offeredwith
the aid of case studies.
