KEY ACEDEMIC PROJECTS
M. Tech. Thesis (June 2011 Till Date)
Combustion Characteristics of Homogeneous Compression Charge Ignition (HCCI) using Biodiesel fuel
Operated engine on HCCI mode using diesel fuel and conceived an improved efficiency and much better
emission characteristics compared to normal CI mode
Prepared Biodiesel using Trans esterification Process, to use it as fuel for further experiment
Developed circuit to control time of fuel injection and its injection duration
Tool aim is to analyze the combustion characteristics and emission in HCCI mode with biodiesel fuel and to
determine feasibility of HCCI for its implementation as cheap power source for agricultural purposes
B.E. Project
Design Optimization & Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of Piston using Pro-E software (Jan.2010-June 2010)
Developed a 3D model of piston of an engine on Pro-E software platform
Completed FEA (Stress & Thermal Analysis) for different crown thickness and skirt length of piston
Concluded various relations for mass variation, temperature variation and change in strain energy with
respect to skirt length and crown thickness of the piston
FEA (Finite Element Analysis) of Piston using Different Material (July2009 Dec.2009)
Designed a piston model with different materials (Al-4032 and Steel as material) on CAD platform
Completed FEA on pistons of both material and compared the stress and temperature on them
Found similar maximum stress on both materials with a much lesser, maximum temperature on Al-4032
than Steel piston and concluded Al-4032 as a better material for piston than steel
Modeling and Simulation of Elliptical Trammel (Jan2009 June 2009)
Modeled and assembled all the parts of Elliptical Trammel on software platform as a CAD project
Generated an animation of 10 minutes to analyze its different movements of its links
