ACADEMIC PROJECT WORK
Diagnosis of Fully Developed Flow within Cylinder
Diagnosed from uniform to fully developed flow within a cylinder with different meshing methods in design modeler
Studied the flow behavior in depth with Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids by using ANSYS-CFX Pre Design and Analysis of Aircraft Hydraulic Push Arm (AHPA)
Designed AHPA according to drawing for installation in an aircraft having factor of safety as priority
Implemented boundary conditions like structural loads with proper material selection in AHPA Design, Fabrication and Experimentation of Heat Sink in a Computer
Examined, compared, analyzed and experimented temperature fluctuation over a period of time in heat sink
Modeled heat sink using ANSYS to minimize heat flow by 5% from CPU by forced and natural convection Design and Analysis of Freight Hopper Wagon
