Academic Projects

HVAC system design of a Residential Building

Designed and Budgeted the HVAC system of a building.

Identified zones that are to be controlled independently and calculated heating and cooling loads for each zone.

Selected the equipment based on heating and cooling load capacities of the zones.

Successfully interpreted the design to identify flaws and inconsistencies using AutoCAD.

Successfully sized the ducts based on friction rates to provide required CFM using equal-friction method. Achieved the velocity and temperature distributions on the duct work to provide economic design.

Chemical Migration through Overburden in Hydrofracking Technology (Shale Gas Fracking)

Designed and simulated the geometrical stratigraphies of Marcellus, Bowland and Bakken Shale Gas formations.

Designs successfully helped in obtaining the velocity and dynamic pressure ranges of various chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing technique.

Succeeded in determining if the chemicals can reach the ground water aquifers in each geometrical stratigraphy.

Design Analysis and Optimization of a Connecting Rod in Internal Combustion Engines

Designed and simulated the connecting rod of a two wheeler I.C. Engine (Pulsar 200NS) using Solidworks.

Successful in detecting the loads acting on the connecting rod as a function of time at a constant speed of crank shaft.

Identified the weight reduction opportunities by examining various materials such as Aluminum alloy, Tool steel and Titanium alloy and succeeded in minimizing the deflection in connecting rod.

Fluid Flow Analysis through a Channel

Designed and simulated fluid flow through two concentric circular and octagonal bodies.

Considered the material as iron, water as heat transfer fluid and the inner body acts as a heat source.

Successfully obtained velocity, pressure and temperature distributions along both the channels.

Design of Multi-Linkage Steering Mechanism

Designed Multi-linkage steering mechanism and succeeded in satisfying Ackerman steering condition.

Extracted equations from the geometry and successfully simulated them using MATLAB software and determined the required quantities of the design.

Design of a Governor

Designed a governor to regulate the speed of an internal combustion engine.

It is designed such that the overshoot in response to a step input is less than 20 percent.

The 2 percent settling time in response to a step input is very small. For load disturbance input, the output is very insensitive.

Work Experience

Teaching Assistant, Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC), SIUE May 2015 – July 2015

Prepared presentations on HVAC systems and communicated findings to peers and faculty.

Assisted students as and when encountered with difficulties in understanding duct sizing, CFM calculations and cost analysis.

Responsible for creating design drawings and identifying design flaws of HVAC systems in Engineering building at SIUE using AutoCAD.

Research Assistant, Shale Gas Hydraulic Fracturing Technology, SIUE July 2015 – April 2016

Provided research support by analyzing data and conducting experiments.

Investigated different geological locations for their properties and shale locations.

Simulated the stratigraphic models and succeeded in determining the upward chemical movement.

Intern, Hussmann Corporation – Bridgeton, Missouri July 2015 – Dec 2015

Designed and tested self-contained refrigerated cases using Solid-works and AutoCAD.

Assisted development and maintenance of the parts catalogs, owner’s manuals and operational instruction manuals for the assigned products and fixed BOMs and design issues.

Maintained correct part revisions in Windchill as Product Lifecycle Management for the parts and communicated with manufacturing unit.

Intern, Visakhapatnam Steel Plant Ltd, India June 2012 – Nov 2012

Studied and analyzed machine components present in light medium merchant mill department.

Prepared worksheets and scheduled manufacturing process and meetings with management.

Developed cost estimations for new products by specific pricing information from vendors.
