SKILLS

AutoCAD (certification) ANSYS (certification) MATLAB PRO-Engineer (certification) COMSOL Minitab

SolidWorks RefProp Microsoft Office – Word Excel PowerPoint Access INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE

Research Intern – GENERAL ELECTRIC: Mechanical and Tribological System Lab June 2010 – December 2010 Pressure and Thermal experimental-study – Reciprocating Compressors Global Research Center, Bangalore, India

Coordinated with two other teammates, to experiment on various compressors using a refrigeration test-rig.

Carried out pressure and thermal mapping of the compressors, while varying the ambient temperature and mass-flow rate.

Used Agilent data-acquisition systems to analyze the working-efficiency of compressors.

Reviewed the design of internal components of a compressor, using CAD and Pro-Engineer software, as a part of pre- production verification.

Thermal Management of Electrical Assemblies

Investigated an abnormal temperature rise at bus-bar joints inside G.E Circuit-breaker cabinets.

Worked together as a group of three, to set up an experimental bench for re-generating similar conditions for further analysis.

Used Agilent data-acquisition systems for monitoring of bus-bar joint temperatures while handling the current of magnitude up to 2000 amperes.

Applied forced-convection methods, metallic foam and heat-pipes to optimize the current flow, thereby reducing the temperature at the joints.

Prepared a bill-of-material for the experimental prototype developed. De-oiling of oil-water mixture using a refrigeration cycle

Conducted a feasibility study of latest technology versus technology being used for oil-water separation in processes like

‘fracking’ and water-purification.

Computed parameters such as permeate obtained per gallon of the mixture supplied and the power consumed to calculate the effectiveness of the technology concerned.

Proposed a reduction in system costs by reducing mechanical components according to the design considerations. Vocational Trainee – TATA MOTORS LTD.: Customer Service Department, Commercial Vehicle Unit June 2008 – July 2008

Observed engine-assembly line for assembling and dismantling of a 275 IDI ‘Ace’ Engine. Pant Nagar, India

Reviewed engine parts for analyzing breakage, based on customer feedback.

Diagnosed and categorized the reasons for part-failures (DFMEA) and identified their effect on engine-performance.

Prepared weekly reports highlighting the trends in breaking parts. DEVAKAR DHINGRA

PROJECT EXPERIENCE

Designing a working model – ‘Passive Water-cooling system’ January 2014 – April 2014

Collaborated as a team of three members to perform a benchmark test for the temperature-drop Clemson University, SC of an ‘open’ water-system.

Designed a representative virtual-model in Solidworks and simulated it using COMSOL to obtain the temperature profile.

Created a physical working-model of a water-cooling system while adhering to the given constraints: no metal contact surface, no external power source (self-driven) and pre-defined cross-sectional area.

Inferred similarities between the experimental results of the working model and the benchmarked results. Research presentation – ‘Temperature profile in Turbulent Flow’ August 2013 – December 2013

Garnered information through research-papers and scholarly articles, to recognize important Clemson University, SC parameters for heat-transfer in turbulent flow.

Derived differential equations for fluid flows and heat-transfer using the parameters selected.

Computed differential equations combined with their boundary conditions, using Matlab, to create a plot of its temperature- profile.

Presented the inference: that the temperature-profile, with-respect-to the chosen parameters, varies from turbulent to laminar flow.

Feasibility Analysis – ‘Conventional electricity-generation versus Solar-panel installation’ August 2009 – April 2010

Conducted a study as a group of two members, to replace the electrical-power generation at UPTU, India our university, from diesel-generators to solar panels.

Calculated the running cost, energy usage and production efficiency of the diesel generators.

Decided upon the type of solar-panel to be used and the number of panels to be installed.

Calculated the initial setup cost and the recurring expenses for the solar-panel deployment, along with its break-even time.

Presented the analysis to highlight the advantages and limitations involved in switching over to solar-energy. ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE

Master’s thesis – ‘Thermo-physical property Models for Heat-pipe Fluid-selection modeling’ November 2014

Designed a thermo-physical model for different heat-fluids at their respective Clemson University, SC working-temperature range.

Identified different pressure-gradients used for the proper functioning of the heat-pipes.

Used pressure models to calculate the heat-transfer effectiveness of various working-fluids in heat-pipes.

Differentiated the calculated results based on the polarity of fluids and analyzed the results for errors using statistical tools.

Presented the thesis before the esteemed faculty of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and published the work as a research-paper (article no.13166, Clemson University – Dissertation & Thesis Database). RELEVANT COURSEWORK
