Research Assistant
(August 2014-Present)
Designed and developed experimental setup to quantify pressure drop and heat transfer in a roughened Silicon Carbide (SiC) nuclear fuel rod in a turbulent flow, and validated test results by subsequent CFD analysis.
Produced 3D CAD models of parts, sub-assemblies and assemblies for experimental setup and produced concise detailed drawings using SolidWorks and Inventor for production.
Determined readings from thermocouples and pressure transmitters by designing Data Acquisition system using NI DAQ and LabVIEW.
Documented detailed test procedures and data reduction methods in a prospectus.
Developed meshes for complex 2D and 3D geometries in ANSYS workbench.
Validated the experimental results by CFD analysis employing k-ω Shear Stress Transport model in ANSYS Fluent and CFX.
Post processed generated CFD results in ANSYS CFD-Post and created graphs, contour plots and animations.
Compiled, analyzed and presented obtained experimental and CFD data using Microsoft Office tools and prepared conference paper for publication.
Teaching Assistant
(January 2015-Present)
Instructed undergraduate students in the experimental study of the relationship of flowrate and pressure drop in a closed loop fluid system consisting of pumps, valves, flow meters and pressure transducers.
Western Marine Shipyard Ltd.
Chittagong, Bangladesh
Naval Design Engineer Intern
(January 2011-March 2011
Developed and designed detailed hull structure drawings in Inventor and AutoCAD for a Ro-Ro Ferry by using guidelines and empirical relations from GL Rulebook.
Developed 2D detailed drawings of beams and girders using Inventor for production.
Ananda Shipyard Ltd.
Dhaka, Bangladesh
Industrial Trainee
(May 2010-July 2010)
Fabricated sheet metal plates to be used in ship hull by following drawings and using plate benders and rollers in the shop floor.
PROJECT EXPERIENCE
Conducted Finite Element Analysis in ANSYS APDL for a steel girder under static load conditions to find locations of maximum stress and strains and made adjustments to the girder to reduce critical stress by 10%.
Developed a CFD model in ANSYS Fluent to investigate the outlet temperature for turbulent natural convection in an annulus, between two cylinders.
Improved heat transfer by 5% for internal pipe flow by using 2D transverse ribs on the pipe inner surface and conducting CFD analysis in MATLAB.
Analyzed the temperature distribution in a heated metal plate by writing codes in MATLAB.
