Thermal Analysis of a thin plate subjected to a flame heat source April 2020 – May 2020
• Finite element program was developed in MATLAB to estimate the steady state temperature described by an analytical field using linear and quadratic elements (triangular and quadrilateral).
• The solution was also obtained from ABAQUS to validate the results and the convergence check was made for both linear and quadratics elements to obtain the order of accuracy. Accuracy of about 98 percent was achieved.
• The observed order of accuracy for linear elements was 2 and that for the quadratic elements was 3. Modelling the flow in 2-Dimensional Mixing Chamber April 2020 – May 2020
• The essential numerical methods required to solve the 2D Navier-Strokes equation with relevant simplifications to the governing equations was programmed using MATLAB.
• The performance and energy conservation of the system was calculated with the validation by GCI check.
• The results of flow at different time levels for the velocities in the two directions, the mass fraction of the fluid entering the chamber and the mixing rate of the fluid were recorded and plotted in the form of contour plots.
• Further examination was done on to study the influence of Reynolds number and appropriate mesh size selected for results with full resolution.
Thermal Analysis of an electrically heated aluminum rod Feb 2020 – March 2020
• The aim was to write a finite element program in MATLAB to approximate the steady state temperature in the rod and compare it with the analytical solution and an approximate solution from ABAQUS.
• The coding was done to implement mesh using linear, quadratic and cubic elements and to examine the difference between each of them.
Non-ideal analysis of ramjet propulsion system Nov 2019-Dec2019
• In this project, the non-ideal analysis of ramjet propulsion system was performed to analyze its performance by varying various design parameters like TSFC, Thrust, and Overall Efficiency. To conduct this study, a parametric analysis tool was built in MATLAB.
• The various temperatures present in different components of the engine was varied to check its impact on the above parameters.
• The maximum thrust of about 1970 N was observed at diffuser exit Mach number of 0.5 and at maximum combustor exit temperature of 2400 K. The maximum overall efficiency of about 13% was attained at diffuser exit Mach number of 0.4.
