CUTTING EDGE A Biannual Newsletter from the Department of Mechanical Engineering

Director’s Message From the desk of HOD

Dr. B.C.Sharma

It is a pleasure to see the endeavors of

Department of Mechanical Engineering, In-

derprastha Engineering College (IPEC) through

their biannual newsletter “Cutting Edge”. The news-

letter offers a glimpse of students activities and

achievements, faculty achievements, industrial in-

teraction and overall development of a department

in a semester. I congratulate the entire “Cutting

Edge” team for publishing this edition and extend

my congratulations to all the contributors. I believe

that newsletter is a medium that will bridge the gap

between achievements and publicity. I hope that

this culture of releasing Newsletter continue for

ever and become a quoted example for others to

follow.

I wish the newsletter a grand success.

Dr. H. K. Rai

We are delighted to welcome this is-

sue of our biannual newsletter which reports on a

number of significant advances the department

has made in the last few months. As always, the

Newsletter reports on the various achievements in

areas ranging from infrastructure development,

seminar, workshop, industrial interaction, student

placement and faculty publications. While the news

section gives a comprehensive coverage of the

various happenings the department has witnessed

over the first half of this year, the publication sec-

tion lists the series of research papers appeared in

peer-reviewed journals or presented in national or

international symposia during this period.

I wish persistence and continuity to our newslet-

ter.

From the Editorial Board

Dear Readers,

Welcome to this edition of our newsletter. This issue is a brief account of the important events held up to Au-

The ball mill consists of one

turn disc (sometimes called turn

table) and two or four bowls.

The turn disc rotates in one

direction while the bowls rotate

in the opposite direction. A ball

mill is a type of grinder used to

grind and blend materials for

use in mineral dressing

processes, paints, pyrotechnics,

ceramics and selective laser

sintering. It works on the princi-

ple of impact and attrition: size

reduction is done by impact as

the balls drop from near the top

of the shell. A ball mill con-

sists of a hollow cylindrical

shell rotating about its axis.

The axis of the shell may be

either horizontal or at a small

angle to the horizontal. It is

partially filled with balls. The

length of the mill is approxi-

mately equal to its diameter.
