• Calculated the maximum fuel cell stack power required to power the vehicle for constant speed, acceleration and slope and designed the fuel cell based on this requirement.

• Determined the stack arrangement to obtain the desired voltage and current to do the work.

• Simulated the vehicle for a simplified highway cycle and estimated the mass of fuel and mass of air required by the fuel cell stack for the complete cycle.

Transmission loss of a Muffler [October 2015-December 2015]

• Modeled the geometry of the muffler using CATIA V5.

• Performed harmonic analysis on the muffler and the transmission loss for different frequencies was calculated using ANSYS, which was then compared with the analytical results.

• Modified the muffler by introducing a baffle plate and the same analysis was performed. Modal analysis of a steel frame [September 2015-October 2015]

• Modeled a steel frame using CATIA V5 and imported it into ANSYS workbench.

• Performed modal analysis of the steel frame using ANSYS workbench under free-free condition.

• Compared the FEA results with the experimental results. Design and Fabrication of Wheelchair to facilitate maneuvering and treatment of [December 2014-May 2015] Quadriplegic patients

• Designed and fabricated a wheelchair that will cater to the needs of Quadriplegic patients, address their need for physiotherapy treatment and locomotion.
