ACADEMIC PROJECTS

CIPASS Internship: SolidWorks June 2020-Present

An omni-dimensional GPR robot was designed to detect concrete defects and underground pipe materials while eliminating the need of human operators by implementing a depth camera that tracks its pathway on a given surface area. The mechanical components of the robot were designed using SolidWorks and the assembly methods were chosen. Two testing slabs were designed to test the final product. Different diameter PVC and copper pipes were placed in the first slab and artificial defects (voids, delamination, and honeycombing) were simulated in the second lab. Senior Design Project: SolidWorks Spring 2020

A single-use hypodermic syringe with automatic-retraction needle mechanism was designed with the purpose of reducing the spread of illness caused by multiple sharing the needle. The syringe becomes non- useable after the first injection by automatically encapsulating its needle within the barrel. Standard industrial design steps were followed for having a cost effective and successful design. After conducting research on the medical aspects and possible useful mechanical mechanisms, three preliminary designs were considered for the case study. The selected design uses a mechanism similar to a retractable pen mechanism in order to encapsulate the used needle using a compression spring. A prototype was made using SLA. In Spring 2020 the prototype will be finalized and the final product will be manufactured and tested through the developed test plan.

Solar Energy and Thermal Processes: MATLAB & COMBISYS Spring 2020 A solar thermal conversion system was designed for a residential building in Long Island, NY. Flat plate collectors were selected to be installed at a fixed 40.78 tilt angle facing south to absorb maximum sun radiation. The system was designed to provide 82% of space heating and hot water for a two-story building with a net floor area of 2,700ft2 for a family of 4. The design keeps the room at 68 F and 50% relative humidity. The heating load was approximated using Degree-Days method. The system was designed to deliver 30 GJ of annual load of hot water and at a minimum of 120 F. Class I TMY data of LaGuardia Airport was used to approximate the solar radiation absorbed on the solar collectors using Perez Model. A 120-gallon tank was selected as a thermal storage system. Aerodynamic Design: Fluent Fall 2019

Electric propulsion of an airplane was considered for reducing CO2 emission by replacement of fossil fuel powered engines by electric ones. The aerodynamic characteristics of wings were studied to find solutions for achieving less energy/power by modifying their geometry (size, shape, span, drag and lift coefficients. The designed airfoil was analyzed using Ansys Fluent and the lift and drag coefficients were obtained. The required future battery technologies for achieving this goal was evaluated. SolidWorks: Computer-Aided Drafting and FEM Fall 2019 Failure of Chain links of a chandelier chain was analyzed experimentally. The chain link was modeled in SolidWorks and the appropriate boundary conditions and meshing were used to analyze the failure of the links using FEM. Convergence test and sensitivity tests were performed to verify the validity of FEM results. Finally, the model of the links was modified based on engineering judgement followed by FEM analysis.

SolidWorks: Computer-Aided Drafting and FEM Fall 2019 A steel pulley with attached shaft was evaluated using FEM. The shaft was connected to a motor, which continued attempting to turn, even though an obstacle had penetrated one of the holes, preventing an inside face from moving. The primary purpose of the project was to develop analysis techniques that could lead to a reasonable conclusion about the failure and possible redesign of the part. The part was modified by changing the geometry of high stress spots of the part. convergence and sensitivity tests were conducted to verify the validity of FEM. MATLAB: Thermal-Fluid System Analysis and Design: Spring 2019 A thermodynamic cycle was designed and optimized for a steam turbine power plant to generate 170.000 kw with the inlet pressure of 1900 psi, reheat inlet temperature of 1000 degrees F, and maximum moisture level of 13%. The magnitude of reheat pressure and the turbine location, number of feed water heaters, mass flow rate and efficiency were calculated.

Ansys: Fluid Mechanics: Fall 2018

A mixing elbow was designed on SolidWorks. Using Ansys Fluent, a flow stream with given Specifications was simulated in the elbow. Then the flow development, its pressure and temperature profiles were examined in the mixing elbow.
