This is mainly for under-graduate students. The lab is equipped with setups that study both basic as well as applied heat transfer phenomena.

The lab has a basic heat transfer setup such as sheat conduction, free-forced convection set-up, and radiation set-up. Tubular heat exchanger, cooling tower, refrigeration, and boiling heat-transfer are some set-up, which is based on the application of heat transfer.
