Graduate Projects

Reliability Engineering/Analysis of consumer product Printer using Quality tools

Analyzed Printer data and improved Printer reliability to 95% with FMEA and Mistake-Proofing. Maximized operational efficiency of Printer, while reducing cost through QFD methodology. Recommended reliability enhancements for preventive maintenance of the printer

Computer Aided Design and Mechanical Analysis of Bi-Plane in PRO-ENGINEER/MECHANICA

Designed a bi-plane with box-grinder structure in PRO-ENGINEER. Evaluated the design with static structural and

steady state thermal analyses in PRO-E MECHANICA. Improved design to include airfoil cross-section of Bi-Plane wings reducing mechanical stress

Rapid Prototyping of a Computer Mouse in Pro-Engineer

Solid Modeled a computer mouse in Pro-Engineer. Reproduced the solid model into a format compatible with Rapid Prototype Manufacturing. Lab manufactured the part through the format to obtain a rapidly produced computer mouse prototype

Numerical Simulation/Mathematical Modeling of fluid flow using FLUENT and MATLAB

Modeled fluid flow in MATLAB and FLUENT based on various solution approximating mathematical methods, while

researching and identifying theories to reduce the degree of mathematical equations. Obtained closed form solution

of the fluid flow modeling equations. Analyzed and documented the post-process results of fluid flow modeling

Solar Energy Experiment with Solar Cooker Sep2003–May2004

Conducted experiment with Solar Cooker Model to assess Solar Energy effectiveness for practical purposes.

Designed a standard format for experimental data acquisition in EXCEL for organized results. Evaluated Cooker model for maximum extraction of energy through Solar parameters’ analysis. Improved upon regular cooker design by incorporating passive heat retention technique. Led the team for a positive outcome of practical cooking power demonstrating the market potential of the model
