ACADEMIC PROJECTS (GRADUATE/UNDERGRADUATE): Internal Combustion Engine Projects: 2013/2014:

Created a technical report by running a combustion experiment on a single cylinder variable compression ratio spark ignition engine (CFR) using gasoline fuel. During the course, new conceptual working cycles such as HCCI process which is a form of internal combustion 3 way catalyst was studied as one of the example of exhaust gas analysis. Worked hands on a jet engine in the lab with in depth analysis of the workings of the compressor and turbine sections.

Energy Harvesting: 2014:

Successfully incorporated various concepts of piezo electricity, thermal energy transfer (thermo electricity), acoustics and opto electricity into successful energy harvesters to provide power to stand alone sensors to monitor various physical quantities.

Energy Technology Labs: 2013 2014:

Designed a number of different combinations of experiments testing and developing various renewable energy solutions such as PV cells, wind, tidal, geo thermal, etc. Worked on a hydrogen fuel cell to determine the optimal working properties for the fuel cell. For energy storage we researched in charging and discharging cycles of batteries, compressed air, fly wheel and energy transfer and storage through water.

HVAC/Building energy design project: 2014:

Completely conceptualized, designed, formulated and budgeted a commercial HVAC unit and for a mall with multiple shops and a restaurant with calculating the temperature change due to conduction, convection and radiation and then determining the overall energy requirements for a period of a year. Also studied, HVAC in cars and clean rooms.
