JAWAHARLAL NEHRU TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY HYDERABAD

Course Objective:

The laboratory course critically deals with the characterization of fuels, refractories and measurement of temperature. Apart from this it also concerns the flow properties of lubricants and their variation with temperature.

Course Outcome:

The student will gain hands-on experience on the equipment that facilitates property evaluation of fuels, lubricants and Refractories. This would provide the student to choose the fuels and refractories for specific use in construction of different furnaces.
