RELATED PROJECTS:

Masters:

Vehicle Dynamics

To determine the understeer gradient as a function of lateral acceleration ranging from 0 g’s to 0.5 g’s.

To accomplish this, we determine the steady state equilibrium conditions for lateral accelerations of 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 g’s.

At each g level, find the tire vertical forces, vehicle roll angle, front axle slip angle and rear axle slip angle.

Once we have the relationship of the slip angles vs lateral acceleration, we may compute the understeer gradient.

Applied Thermodynamics

Designed a Power Plant to generate electric power by means of Rankine Cycle using Solar energy as the Heat Input. In solar plants, the energy required for vaporization originates in collected and concentrated solar radiation.

To analyze a complete power plant, it is first necessary to analyze the four basic elements in power cycles, Turbine, Pump, Boiler, and Condenser.

The water vapor expands through the turbine, developing power. The water then condenses and returns to the boiler

Cycle efficiency is calculated by knowing the temperature of the heat source and heat sink. It is also possible to calculate the efficiencies of the individual components by comparing the actual and isentropic works.

Computational Fluid Dynamics

Designed a given pipe line and analyzed the fluid flow using Ansys.

Bachelors:

Design and analysis of a casing string, a component which is used in oil rig to drill and extract oil.
