(GD&T)

WORK EXPERIENCE

Internship at Bhabha Atomic Research Center (BARC), Mumbai, India

June '09-May '10

Worked on the project titled: Analysis of Inlet Header for 18MW Beam Dump

for 500gev Electron/Positron Beam of International Linear Collider

. Studied the vorticity of Fluid flow inside a 10m cylindrical pipe,

modeling the pipe and analyzing the fluid flow using CFD

techniques.

. Modeling was done using GAMBIT 2.4 and ANSYS FLUENT 6.3.26 was used

for analysis of the flow.

. The design model was optimized for efficient heat removal from the

collider.

RESEARCH PROJECT

Ballistic Impact Response of Composite Plates using ABAQUS

July '12- July '13

. Studying the ballistic behavior of different composite systems,

. Traction separation properties of the cohesive element used were

computed using Peel tests and Double Cantilever Beam tests,

. Finite Element model of the composite plate surrounded by epoxy

resin has been modeled and the interface stresses and strains were

computed,

. Determining the ballistic limit velocities at the corresponding t/d

ratios for the different composite systems.

ACADEMIC PROJECTS

Advanced CAD (Pro-E Wildfire 4.0/Pro-Mechanica):

May '12 - Aug '12

. Designing of intricate assemblies involving connection rod,

crankshaft and other complex geometries.

. Creating models involving Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing.

(GD&T)

. Static and dynamic analysis for 3D and 2D (plan stress, plane

strain and beam models) models using Pro-Mechanica.

. Thermal analysis of models and Optimization techniques used for

geometries.

. Basic level experience in machining models using NC simulations.

. Creating and maintaining BOM.

Intermediate Heat Transfer:

. Design of parallel flow, counter flow and mixed flow heat exchanger

network to achieve a desired output.

. Heat capacities of fluids were split to meet the given

requirements.

. MS Excel was made use of to calculate the efficiency of the heat

exchanger network.

. The potential for entropy generation due to mixing was minimized.

The area of the heat exchanger was minimized and the efficiency was

maximized for the heat exchanger design.
