• Assisted in monitoring of Co-Generation facility, Dew point Depression (DPD) plant using Distributed Control System.

• Developed simpler design layouts of tank, nozzle using SolidWorks and analyze inflow and outflow of fluid using ANSYS Fluent

• Frequent tours of utilities and maintenance department to understand concept and working of mechanical equipments.

ACADEMIC PROJECTS

Numerical and Experimental Investigation of Cavitation around Hydrofoil Jan 2017 – May 2018

• Conducted FEA analysis on EPPLER 818 HYDROFOIL AIROFOIL (e818-il) by Ansys software and analyzed areas where high rate of cavitation appeared.

• Created 3D design of hydrofoil with modification by SolidWorks.

• Modified tail part of the hydrofoil and decreased 40 % of cavitation which improved the performance and life. EDUCATION
