ENGINEERING PROJECTS
Simulation
Optimization of Wheel Rim Thickness
Designed a 13-inch wheel rim for a sports car. The design was modeled in CATIA and various stress strain analysis was conducted through ANSYS. Wrote a report on the cost and material aspect comparing these quantities through a weight table.
Here are a few exaples of my design and the final report.
Designing
Lead Design Engineer- BAJA SAE
As a lead design engineer I was not only responsible for designing the steering system but also managing and finalizing design for the other components of the car.
Here are a few examples of my design and the final vehicle.
Research
Integration of Wind Power in Smart Grids
-
Investigated current problems associated with wind power generation (on shore and off shore).
-
Recommended improvement methods using qualitative analysis of cost and benefits (supply chain management) and implementing smart grids with alternate sources of power generation
Analysis
Extended Exergy and Energy Analysis for Biofuel Production
-
Conducted a thorough thermodynamic input-output exergy and energy analysis of the conversion of biomass (in this case UCOME and RME) to biodiesel.
-
The extended analysis which included monetary effects, revealed a new representation showing RME having more exergetic efficiency unlike UCOME.
Renewable
Redefining Energy from Waste (EfW)
Examined the effectiveness of EfW plants, investigated problems with introducing aluminum to MSW landfills, conducted proposals for mitigating the dangers associated with aluminum reactions and designed an effective supply chain.
Mechanics
Tribological requirments for Natural Gas Transmisson
-
Natural gas travels from production sites to end users through a complex system of transmission pipelines.
-
As engineers, it is critical that we are aware of these criteria and select the appropriate oils based on a complete analysis of all relevant parameters. This report has provided a brief overview of these criterion as well as a few examples of lubricants that are available in the marketplace.
