ACADEMIC RESEARCH:

Development of Alkali chlorides as Heat Transfer Fluids with addition of nano particles Jan 2014 – April 2015

Enhanced the thermal properties of molten salts (alkali chlorides) with addition of nano particles, which can be used as heat transfer fluids and thermal energy storage materials in Concentrated Solar Plants (CSP).

Created thermal models and analytical models along with material characterization using Scanning Electron Microscope

(SEM), Energy Diffusive Spectrometry (EDS) and X-Ray Photon Spectrometry (XPS) to understand this enhancement. ACADEMIC PROJECTS:

Boundary value analysis of a three dimensional body with varying boundary conditions Sep 2013 - Dec 2013

Developed a temperature profile for a three dimensional body with varying boundary conditions and analyzed the correlation of temperature along with specific heat capacity.

MATLAB was used to generate the temperature profile and graphs of various thermal properties against temperature variations. Boundary layer analysis for a flow over cylinder Feb 2014 - May 2014

Determined the heat transfer coefficients for laminar flow over a cylinder with varying Reynolds number for a given velocity equation.

Developed MATLAB codes and graphs to calculate the flow separation point and then determine variation of heat transfer coefficient with change in the stagnation point.

Failure analysis of a plate with a surface crack emitting from a hole at center Feb 2014 - May 2014

Objective of the analysis was to calculate stress intensity factor at the crack tip using finite element method. Similar analysis was carried out for various crack sizes to determine the optimal method of analysis.

ANSYS APDL was used to carry out the analysis and generate the convergence curve based on varying meshing sizes and boundary conditions.

Fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics of cross cut heat sinks Sep 2014- Dec 2014

Objective of the analysis was to perform accelerated thermal cycling (ATC) of a flip chip BGA to determine package warpage distribution and stress stain distribution in solder balls along with location of maximum stress point.

Studied the effect of variation of inlet velocities to determine pressure drop and pumping power using ANSYS Icepack and thus optimizing the heat sink design.
