PROJECT EXPERIENCE
TRANSESTERIFICATION REACTOR JAN – FEB 2019
- Conducted a base-catalyzed transesterification reaction to evaluate the thermodynamic and kinetic study of the soybean-methanol reaction
- Determined the design space of the reactor and specified its operating ranges by finding optimal values of the key parameters
HEAT EXCHANGER SEPT – OCT 2018
- Analyzed data acquired by performing calibration test on the water flow meters and resistance temperature detectors of the heat exchanger
- Evaluated heat transfer characteristics of the heat exchanger by designing the SOP
- Proposed correlations that can be used for a variety of fluids and flow conditions to predict the heat transfer capacity of the heat exchanger
