Thermal analysis of electronic circuit packages using ANSYS-ICEPAK and developing thermal management procedure for electronic circuits at system level. This involves the effect of conduction, convection and radiation on thermal dissipation. Analyze results for the optimization of heatsink, placement of components, openings, and fan for the system.

Package level detailed thermal modeling of an IC (PBGA) package and PCB Cu layers and vias modeling using ANSYS-ICEPAK to obtain 1-D thermal resistance values and agreement with experimental results.

Heat and mass transfer analysis for two-phase flow inside heat exchanger using COMSOL (FEA) mixture model to obtain the inside and outside wall temperatures distribution to calculate the stresses due to load and thermal gradient.

Heat and mass transfer modeling for two-phase flow in porous candle wick structure using FEA COMSOL tool. Flow model is coupled with gas-phase combustion model to perform candle flame analysis. Effects of surface emissivity, absorption coefficient, wax burn rate, wax thermal conductivity are also analyzed. Thermal results obtained from the analysis are compared with availed experimental data.

Solved coupled turbulent flow, heat transfer and solid mechanics in disk-brakes for automobile to obtain temperature and stress distributions. Thermal results are compared with experimental data before developing a user-friendly COMSOL application to perform automated thermal, fluid and stress analysis for different brake design.

Performed natural and forced convective cooling analyses of heat sinks using ICEPAK and COMSOL to develop design guidelines for application team.

Developed COMSOL model of artificial turf including sun’s radiative heating to obtain temperature distribution along fiber blades and analyzed the effect of material emissivity, conductivity, and evaporative cooling.

Analyzed and studied the thermal-fluid effect of Non-Newtonian blood viscosity models for laminar and turbulent flows.

SALT RIVER PROJECT, Thermo-fluids& Heat Transfer Laboratory. Research Assistant Aug. ‘09 – Apr. ‘12

Modeled the flue gas flow, heat transfer and Selective Catalytic Reaction using ANSYS-Fluent inside Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG) of a co-generative power plant. Successfully implemented user-defined-function for mass and momentum source terms of ammonia injection. Also validated the results with analytical calculations of heat transfer for single-phase and two-phase flow inside heat exchangers.

Modeled and simulated flow and heat transfer in High Pressure Superheater heat exchanger using ANSYS-Fluent inside HRSG for transient analysis of a cold start-up. Heat conduction/conjugate heat transfer was solved using CFD method to obtain inside and outside wall temperatures distribution to address induced thermal and structural stresses. Prior to the transient, steady state analysis was done to gain confidence in CFD and FEA methodologies.

Simulations and optimization of Large-Building flow and temperature distributions for Coronado Power Generating Station using CFD tool ANSYS-Fluent.

Developed code in C for lid cavity problem with staggered grid using pressure based solver to solve the lid driven cavity problem in C and also validated the results.
