MAJOR ACADEMIC PROJECTS

Spring 2016 Heat Transfer Analysis of a Heat Sink Brookings, SD

Researched and studied the theory behind the cooling of a personal computer micro-processor chip

Designed and Modeled the aluminum heat sink

Used ANSYS to generate and analyze the temperature distribution in the heat sink and studied the heat transfer process

Fall 2015 Turbine Blade on NX CAM Brookings, SD

Modeled, assembled, and manufactured a turbine blade from a gas turbine on NX CAM software

Generated and optimized CNC codes to ensure all industrial operations were performed quickly & efficiently

Prepared detailed manufacturing step-by-step guide of turbine blade in NX, G-codes included Fall 2015 Flight Dynamics of a Golf Ball Brookings, SD

The aerodynamics of a golf ball is justified by analyzing the air flow in smooth and dimpled ball

Governing flight equations are figured out and path for various angle of attack and velocity is analyzed

Taking lift and drag in consideration, the trajectory motion of a spin (hook and slice) and no-spin path is modeled in MATLAB

Fall 2015 CFD Simulation of Exhaust Manifold Brookings, SD

Designed and Modeled the exhaust manifold (with 3-runners) in SOLIDWORKS

Performed CFD simulation in STAR CCM++ to study the flow of the designed exhaust manifold

Optimized the bend angle at the corner using SOLIDWORKS

At optimized bend angle, minimum pressure drop and hence minimum back pressure and increased velocity of exhaust gases flow was studied
