University of Mumbai July 2010 – May 2014

Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, GPA: 3.33/4 PROJECTS

• Solver for Inviscid Burger’s equation: A MATLAB code was developed to solve the Burger’s equation using Lax method, Lax-Wendroff method, MacCormack method, Upwind method, Runge-Kutta-2 method, Runge-Kutta-4 method. Analysis based on critical time step, different grid size was performed. A stability analysis based on CFL criteria was studied.

• Solver for Poisson equation: A MATLAB code was developed to solve the Poisson’s equation using the Jacobi method, Gauss-Seidel method, Point Successive Over-Relaxation(PSOR), Line Successive Over-Relaxation(LSOR), Alternate Direct Implicit(ADI) method, Accuracy of all the methods was compared with the analytical solution. Accuracy in terms of number of Iterations required for convergence was studied for all the above methods.

• Simulation using ANSYS Fluent: Analysis of a counter flow Heat Exchanger, Analysis of Fluid Flow in a helical pipe, Flow through a nozzle, Flow over a cylinder.

• Simulation using ANSYS Icepack: Coarse and Detailed CFD modelling of a Finned Heat Sink, Application of Icepack modelling for investigation of thermal enhancement on flip chip plastic ball grid array (PBGA) package, Fluid flow and heat transfer characteristic of cross-cut heat sinks.

• Thermo-acoustic refrigerator development: A prototype of Thermo-acoustic refrigerator was developed, the project dealt with physics related to sound and Thermodynamic concepts.

• Modelling and finite element analysis of retaining ring and Reed Valve: Conducted a thorough analysis for material selection based on the given design specifications and operating conditions. Modelling as well as analysis using convergence study based on element and different mesh selection using ABAQUS . CERTIFICATION &ACTIVITIES
