University of Texas at Arlington, USA Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering GPA: 3.5/4.0 May 2016 University of Pune, India Bachelor of Eng. in Mechanical Engineering GPA: 3.3/4.0 June 2014 PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Master Thesis- Mechanical Engineering University of Texas at Arlington March 2015 – May 2016

Thesis topic: A Study of Electrical Double Layer at an Aluminium surface in Automotive Cooling System.

Aimed at understanding corrosion mechanism of Al 3003 alloy radiator tubes in contact with 50/50 ethylene glycol water coolant.

Simulation of electric double layer structure to study the charge transfer phenomenon when metal is in contact with electrolyte.

Parametric study of changes in chemical composition carried out by taking flux, voltage and temperature as the parameters.

Studied Cavitation phenomenon with increase in voltage.

Achieved a platform where corrosion causing species can be analyzed and the rate can be controlled. RESEARCH PROJECTS

Design and CFD analysis of Can type combustion chamber (UTA, USA) Tools and Technology: ANSYS, SolidWorks, CATIA V5

Developed solid model of a can type combustion chamber for a gas turbine engine with 2 types of fuel injector nozzles and 2 types of swirlers.

Performed CFD analysis to determine flame front and observe temperature contours and exit velocity.

Combination of LSI injector and 60 swirler was concluded for providing the best performance. Robotic Arm Simulation through interface of LabVIEW and SolidWorks (UTA, USA) Tools and Technology: IBM 7535, iCOBRA 600, Viper S360, SolidWorks, LabVIEW, Matlab

Designed CAD model and programmed the robots through Matlab.

Performed pick and drop operations and pattern-making using iCOBRA 600 and Viper S360 robots.

SolidWorks simulation of iCOBRA 600 robot interfaced with LabVIEW for a simple pick/drop operation. Radiator Design for Low Internal Pressure Drop (University of Pune, India) Tools and Technology: CATIA V5, BISS (Behr Integrated System Simulation), ANSYS

Project undertaken at MAHLE-BEHR India Ltd.

Design and CFD analysis of U-flow single pass radiator to reduce pressure drop of coolant across the inlet and outlet ports.

Radiator sizing decided by design optimization system simulation results of BISS software by providing inputs for Frontal area, Heat rejection required, Radiator inlet temperature, and Ambient temperature. Tube size inferred to be 21mm.

CAD model used for manufacturing prototype in BEHR protoshop.

Introduction of 5*5 mm pocket on baffle of radiator tank to reduce the high pressure drop in the system and decrease the radiator failure probability. Achieved weight reduction leading to 5% increase in heat exchanger effectiveness.

Radiator testing carried out on BEHR test rig.

Desired heat rejection (55kW) achieved with pressure drop < 100kPa. ACADEMIC SEMINARS
