MASTERS THESIS
Mathematical Modeling of Alcohol Metabolism in Liver
Guide: Prof. K.V. Venkatesh, Chemical Dept., IIT Bombay Jan20Current
Motivation:
Alcohol consumption has a powerful impact on humans physical and mental health.
Worldwide 3 million deaths and India wide 2.6 Lakhs deaths are happening every year due to alcohol
consumption either in the form of liver cirrhosis, cancer or road accidents.
Work done:
Surveyed the literature to find the factors which affects alcohol metabolism such as environmental and genetic
factors and analyzed the alcohol metabolism using a whole body model.
Developed the model in MATLAB which gives the Blood alcohol concentrations with time by taking Age,
height, gender, and volume of alcohol as inputs, shown good results when compared with experimental data.
Performed parametric sensitivity analysis to evaluate effect of alcohol on physiology of individuals.
Performed Population balance of 1000 individuals to determine the statistics of certain BAC ranges.
Future work:
To develop the model to capture genetic factors affecting the Blood alcohol concentrations with time.
TECHNICAL PROJECTS
Designing of a distillation column
Aug20-Dec20
Guide Prof: Sanjay Mahajani, Chemical Dept., IIT Bombay
Surveyed the literature to find the relative volatilities of given feed mixture of n-propane, n-butane, n-hexane.
Calculated the Minimum reflux ratio (Rm), Minimum number of stages (Nm) and Actual number of stages (N) to
a distillation column for given mixture by FUG Method.
Designed the distillation column by using the software DWSIM and compared the results with FUG method.
Designing of heat exchangers network Aug20-Dec20
Guide Prof: R. K. Malik, Chemical department, IIT Bombay
Performed the Heat cascade analysis to determine the minimum hot utility, minimum cold utility and pinch
temperatures for the given process streams by manual calculation and by using GAMS.
Designed an MER network of heat exchangers using Pinch design method and determined minimum number
of heat exchangers required.
One dimensional unsteady heat transfer by a slab Jun19-Nov19
Guide Prof: Mani Bhushan, Chemical Dept., IIT Bombay.
Performed the discretization of the model by orthogonal collocations and Finite difference method.
Solved the PDEs using Explicit Euler, Runge-Kutta 4th order and Runge-Kutta 3rd order Methods in MATLAB
using predefined functions and compared the results.
