Introduction
The Electro-Mechanic Laboratories contains four new labs with modern equipment:
Metallurgy preparation workshop
This lab is used to prepare specimens.
Specimen mounting press
This specialist press is used to mount unusual shaped specimens in resin blocks for microscopy.
Surface polishing
The polishing machine is used to prepare specimens for microscopy.
Fume hood
The fume extraction chamber is used to protect you from volatile fumes.
Cut off saw
Use the cut off saw for specimen preparation.
Microscope
For inspecting and analysing of metallurgical specimens.
Polishing machine
For preparing specimens.
Thermo-fluids lab
You will use the Thermo-fluids lab for investigation of thermodynamics and fluid dynamic principles.
Fluid flow experiment
Fluid flow through nozzles is great way to help understanding Bernoulli’s theorem. An important aspect of fluid flow
Free jet flow experiment
Heat conduction experiment
This experiment demonstrates the properties of heat conduction through liquids.
Water benches
Water benches allow investigation of open channel water flow.
Refrigeration investigation rig
With the refrigeration investigation rig, you can investigate the thermal properties of multiphase fluids including losses while understanding the refrigeration process.
Fundamentals of water flow
Investigation of liquid flow in pipework as it encounters various fittings is essential to the fluids engineer.
Heat conduction in solids experiment
Study of heat conduction through solids is essential to understand both heat exchangers and insulation.
Electronics workshop
Several workstations each equipped for electronic systems construction and testing.
Workstations
Each workstation comes equipped with a range of equipment you'll need to conduct experiments, including:
- Keysight 70MHz digital oscilloscopes
- Tektronix arbitrary function generator
- Multi-output DC power supply
- Digital multimeter
- Soldering iron with tip fume extraction
Workstation computers
Each workstation has a high-spec HP all-in-one Desktop PC with all the software you need.
Computer assisted design (CAD)/computer assisted manufacturing (CAM) design suite
CAD workstations
High end CAD workstations including intuitive and precise 3D navigation.
Large format printers
The suite has two colour A1 large format office printers.
