PROJECTS

Biodiesel production unit by Hybrid energy (Team lead), Jan2016-May2016

Tennessee Technological University (Cookeville, TN)

The main goal of this project was to produce Biodiesel using hybrid energy sources and PLC programming to save Electrical Energy and processing time.

Hybrid unit design features - two step processing to avoid titration, several oil heating sources like solar power (parabolic dish solar reflector, 12v heating belt, 12v water heater) to reduce amount of electric heat used to heat up the oil.

Used ULTRASONIC which brakes the chemical bonds in lesser time, which helps in reducing the process time.

Placing sensors for level, temperature and pressure to make the process automation.

Advantages - Decreases the processing time (Reaction time), increase the yield, reduce the cost.

Hybrid electric vehicle solar power system, Jan2015-July2015

Purdue University (Online)

The main goal of this project was to use renewable energy to reduce electric power by using hybrid sources, by building a solar panel setup as a roof of the vehicle and a series of batteries to store the solar power.

Develop the previous existing electric model to hybrid model.

Designed the setup and working mechanism from the existing model and analyzing the results.

Components used in this is solar panels of 135w and battery set up of 12v 35Ah each.

Achieved results that proved using hybrid system yields more compared to standard electrical system.

Wind tunnel Experiment and simulation analysis (CFD), Aug2015 - Dec2015

Tennessee Technological University (Cookeville, TN)

The objective was to understand the flow around a sphere both experimentally and numerically.

Comparing and analyzing with previous results.

Sphere used in the experiment is highly polished with 4” (10.16cm) diameter equipped with a 3/8inch sting mounting post.

Collected results from experimental setup using AEROLAB.

Geometry of the model and simulation setup is created using STARCCM+ with desired conditions at different velocities.

Made calculations of coefficient of drag, coefficient of lift and plot results by using Microsoft EXCEL. Analyze the data with previous results.
