RELEVANT PROJECTS
Analysis of Pin-Fin heat sink in Electronic devices by using ANSYS
Designed a pin-fin heat sink by using ANSYS workbench16, meshed it using mesh tool to study the air flow through the pin fin heat sink.
Used ANSYS workbench16 for designing and analysis.
Efficiency of pin-fin heat sink is calculated and analyzed its dependence on velocity of air, height and no of pin fins in the heat sink.
External aerodynamic analysis of a car body with and without a spoiler
Designed a car body in ANSYS and performed aerodynamic analysis to study lift and drag forces acting on the car body with and without a spoiler.
Used ANSYS workbench 16 for design and analysis, used Ms word, excel and PowerPoint for documentation.
Created a car body based on 2015 Lamborghini Aventador model.
Performed aerodynamic analysis and understand the importance of aerodynamic factors and effects on car body.
Design and fabrication of quad copter
Designed a quad copter for project using CATIA 5.
Simulated and analyzed the lift conditions of quad copter.
Collaborated with members of team to complete and test the developed model.
Evaluation of Vehicle Under-steer Gradient
Studied the current methods for evaluating the under steer gradient and calculated the value of gradient using standard methods.
Field tests were carried on an SUV and CarSIM was used to simulate the tests.
Disc Brake Optimization for Formula-SAE Vehicle
Optimized a disc brake rotor system using SOLIDWORKS and ANSYS.
Designed a brake rotor that generates less heat, dissipates quicker and lighter in weight but met all the performance requirements.
Assembly Line Efficiency Improvement Using Lean Design Ideas
Used lean concepts to increase the overall productivity of an assembly line(Battery making company) and obtained a 30% increase in production.
Reduced the labor costs by about 25% over a span of 8 weeks.
EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
Volunteered at "National Science Day NSD- 2014" organized by Materials Group, B.A.R.C., Mumbai (2014).
Organized robotic event “The Rundown” for Mindkraft’13 in Karunya University (2013).
