GRADUATE PROJECTS

• Designed and rated double pipe, shell and tube heat exchangers using heat transfer software HEXTRAN and HTRI, (Spring 10) and compared it with the results obtained by theoretical calculations

• Simulated the manufacturing of propylene glycol from propylene oxide and water, in a CSTR using HYSYS. The products obtained were later separated in a distillation column.

• Designed and performed cost estimation of a natural gas pipeline, (Spring10) between Farmington and Seattle and calculated the specifications of the various compressor stations built between the above two places using Microsoft Excel

• Integrated SIMULINK with LABVIEW to monitor and control a 30 tray, high purity binary distillation column for separating methanol mixture in a chemical plant set-up
