Mechanical Engineering Department

With the presence of Dr. Fawzi Al-Askari, Head of Mechanical Engineering Department, on Monday  September 10th 2018 At 12 p.m in the room 145  a meetings were held with students of the Faculty of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering) involved in new graduation projects. Faculty staff members presented their proposals for the first semester 391. After the students have selected their projects, the meeting have been ended at 1 p.m. Source: Graduation project unit - Dr. Mohamed Abdelbasset  

In the practical application framework of the theoretical study, the students of Mechanical Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, King Khalid University attended a scientific visit to the Shuqaiq Desalination Plant on Thursday, October 26, 2017 under the supervision of Dr. Baiumy El-Assal and Dr. Mohamed Sagr. The visit was very useful for the students, where they had seen most of the parts that they learn in the course of Power Plants and Desalination as well as graduation projects in desalination topics. Students were accompanied by Eng./ Mohamed El Feefy who was specialist in desalination process in the station. He introduced a detailed explanation of all the station components from the beginning of the water intake from the Red Sea and the various stages of water purification processes. A brief Explanation for the water pumps and their types and desalination units. He made a detailed explanation of the Multi Stage Flashing (MSF) desalination process and its theory of work which is identical to the theoretical study in the power Plants and desalination course that has had an effective impact on the gained information for students. Students also watched all the power Plant components of boilers, burners and turbines accompanied with Eng./ Abdo Ali and Hassan Gaabony who are specialists in thermal processes control in the station. They explained a detailed explanation of the theory of work of each component. Students also, watched the control room of the plant and listen to a detailed Explanation of all details for Each Component on the plant from Eng./ Khaled Mohamed and Eng./ Gamaan Ahmed. The visit ended around 1 pm.

Al-Hasaniah tiles factory is the largest manufacturer of ceramic tiles in Asir region. Students were given demonstration of following processes of the plant; the processing and mixing of raw material, casting, pressing, curing using minimum water consumption by water spray, finishing, transporting and packaging of all types of products. Date:                               12.10.17 (Thursday) No. of Students:           6 Students of Level 9, Mechanical Engineering Department Faculty In-charge:    Dr. Vineet Tirth, Associate Professor, MED, College of Engg. KKU.

Under the scientific activity in the College, the Mechanical Engineering Department organized a workshop titled “Fins & Heat Exchangers” presented by Dr. Ashraf Lashin where students attended. The Summery of the Work Shop: Introduction to Heat Transfer: Conduction (Steady State Conduction) – Convection (Free & Forced) and Fins, its functions, types and the three cases (Finite Fin, Infinite Fin and Tip Insulated Fin), and Fins Applications in all Engineering Fields. Heat Exchangers Types according to flow types and design, finally heat exchanger applications.
