teams had registered online for the event from different parts of

India. It was 4 Days Dynamic event in which teams need to

compete with their own Hand-made Electric Bikes along with a

well experienced Bike Rider.

Finally a total of 21 bikes passed the required technical

Inspection, Brake test and Rain Test. The qualified vehicles

went for the successive rounds of Weight test, Business plan

presentation, Autocross , Endurance Run. The event comprised

of a number of awards based on the performance of teams of

INR 2.0 Lakhs. The event had a good crowd of spectators and

also attracted the press and media coverage.

The event was First of it’s kind in South India and proved itself

a Grand success.

A 3-Day Workshop on Recent Trends in Thermal Engineering:

The department organized a three-day

workshop on “Recent Trends in Thermal

Engineering” under TEQIP-II from 28th

to 30th July 2016. The event was

conducted in the CAD Lab. 45 faculty

memebers from various institutions

participated in this workshop. The

resource persons were Prof.

Saji, Scientist D, NSTL. The work-shop

was formally inaugurated on 28th

July,2016. While Dr.G. Srinivasa Rao,

Principal, SVECW gave a brief overview

The Department organized a five-day

workshop on “Research Techniques for

Mechanical Engineering with Hands-on

Experience” under TEQIP-II from 23rdto

27thAugust 2016. This five-day

Workshop aimed at enriching skills of

faculty and researchers with the state-of-

the-art information on the modeling and

experimental design techniques in the

thrust areas of Mechanical Engineering.

This was mainly to inculcate research

interest in the said areas. The speakers

were Dr. M. J. Davidson, Dr. K Subbu,

and importance of current advances of research and knowledge of solving real life and industrial

problems. Dr. P. Srinivasa Raju, HOD -Department of Mechanical Engineering gave a welcome

address to all the participants and talked about the usefulness of work shop on recent trends in

thermal engineering.

Engineering with Hands-on Experience

Dr. V. Hari Kumar from NIT, Warangal and Dr. T. Srinivas from VIT, Vellore. The

manufacturing industry is aiming at producing quality and economical products. This process

depends on many parameters and intermediate correlations. New and innovative procedures

need to be developed to meet the demands and needs of the customer and industry. The

optimization techniques have become powerful tool for the continuous improvement of quality

in production. This was the reason why the workshop was conducted.

subsequently fed into a pan mill. The output of the pan mill is stored in vertical silos. The

mixture is now ready for pressing tiles. The pressed tiles are stacked on the kiln car in a stack

of 3 feet height and dried by using hot waste air from the kiln. The tiles are dried for 20 hrs.

The dried tiles are pushed along with the kiln car and allowed for firing for 20 hours. The

outputs are known as biscuits. Ceramic glazed tiles are made of porous body with a coating of

white or coloured glaze. These are used extensively in the bathrooms, kitchen in modern

buildings and in hospitals and analytical laboratories, Toiletries attached to railway platforms.

This is because of the properties of this products. They have the ability to resistance to

weather and chemicals, having high strength, hard, glossy surface with different colours and

pleasing appearance.

20 students of IV Mechanical Engineering attended
