Projects and Research Experience

CFD Analysis of Heat Exchanger Fall 2020

- Developed a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model to analyze the effects of various boundary conditions on heat transfer in co-current and counter-current flows. Thermal Characteristics and Flame Spread Study of Paraffin Fuel Spring 2020 - Fall 2020

- Fire Dynamic Simulator (FDS) was used to simulate flame using paraffin wax fuel with varying heat release rates to study its spread patterns in a small closed environment.

- Results were compared with Kerosene fuel.

Combustion Stability Analysis in Ramjet Engine Spring 2019 - Fall 2019

- Developed a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model for a ramjet engine and performed comparison analyses of combustion efficiency for alternative fuels including kerosene, heptane and methane.

CFD Parametric Study of Fluid Flow Through Piping System Spring 2019

- Developed a three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model to simulate flow through a plumbing piping system and investigate pressure drop and backflow. Heat Loss in Fresh Water Lake Fall 2018

- Modelled and analyzed the time period for a two-inch-thick ice layer to form on a freshwater lake.

-Modeled the process in two stages: first stage consisted of estimating the duration of time for the lake surface to reach the freezing temperature, second stage consisted of estimating the amount of time an ice layer of two inches will form through an isothermal assumption. Sorting Machine Spring 2018

-Designed and built a machine to sort objects composed of different materials, including composition, metal, plastic and wood.

-Used a combination of sensors, including IR and RGB light sensors, facilitated through Arduino circuit.
