[2000 - 2002] Indian School
Certificate (I.S.C) Examination (12th Std.)
[- 2000] Indian Certificate of
Secondary Examination (I.C.S.E) (10th Std.) RESEARCH INTERESTS:
PROJECT WORK: Thesis: · Master Thesis titled “Derivation and Implementation of Modified Kozeny-Carman equation under the effect of Magnetic and Electric field for prediction of Solidification and Melting Transport Phenomenon in alloys” under the guidance of Prof. Suman Chakraborty, Department of Mechanical Engineering, IIT Kharagpur. Focus of the work includes derivation of a constitutive relation analogous to the famous Darcy’s law for modeling the mushy region at the solid-liquid interface in a melting or solidification phenomenon, under the effect of Electric and Magnetic field, as a porous medium Electromagnetic flow. (August 2006 – Till date)
· Bachelor Thesis titled “Numerical Simulation of Reacting flow with heat transfer in the Thrust Chamber of a Rocket Engine” under the guidance of Prof. S.K. Som and Prof. Suman Chakraborty, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, IIT Kharagpur. The determination of the Sonic point and variation of various fields like Pressure, Temperature, Velocity, concentration etc along the converging-diverging nozzle shaped thrust chamber was done Numerically. A quasi one dimensional compressible flow model was coupled with a two step Reaction kinetics model of Hydrogen-Oxygen combustion. (May 2005 – April 2006)
Summer Projects:
· “Numerical Study on Transport Equations for Compressible Fluid Flows with Heat and Mass Transfer” under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Dr. h. c. Franz Durst and Dr. Stefan Becker at the Institute of Fluid Mechanics, University of Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany. Through derivations from the first principle it observed that some terms need to be appended to the existing transport equations to make them complete for compressible thermo-fluid dynamics. My work comprised of implementation of the new terms into an existing CFD code to demonstrate their significance. Besides we also did some theoretical analysis of the terms for Galilean Invariance, compliance to the rules of Constitutive relations and satisfaction of the second law of Thermodynamics. (May – July 2006).
· “Introduction to Industrial Heat Exchanger design and various process equipments for Coal Gasifier” under the guidance of Mr. G. Y. Sawant, Chief Engineering Manager – Design and Engineering, at Coal Gasifier and Power Plant Equipment Business Unit, Larsen & Toubro Ltd., Powai Works, Mumbai, India. I received a practical introduction to the design of Heat exchangers which helped me to extend the theoretical knowledge acquired from my Heat Transfer course. Besides I also had some exposure to the structural design aspects of the heat exchanger through its analysis in a commercial software ANSYS.(May-July 2005)
· “Determination of the Critical Rayleigh Number for Free Convection in a Cubical Cavity Heated from below”, under the guidance of (Retd) Dr. Mohan D. Deshpande, Head, Computational & Theoretical Fluid Dynamics Division, National Aerospace Laboratories, Bangalore. It was a work on hydrodynamic stability and flow transition under the influence of heat. My work included study of the changing vortex patterns with the changing Rayleigh number and predicting the range of Rayleigh number over which the flow transition took place. (May - July 2004).
Term Projects:
· “Optimization of Distribution of resources in a supply chain using Simple Genetic Algorithm” as a part of the course “Genetic Algorithms in Engineering Processes”, under the guidance of Prof. Nirupam Chakraborti, Dept. of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering , IIT Kharagpur. The resources comprised of the raw material transferred to the factories, the finished products from the factories to the retail shops and the cost incurred in the process of transport. The supply chain comprised of the three tiers namely raw material acquiring centre, the factory and the retail shop.(August – November 2004).
· “Determination of spring and damper co-efficient of a vehicle chassis for maximum human comfort” as a part of the course “Dynamics of Machines” under the guidance of Prof. Anirvan Dasgupta, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, IIT Kharagpur. The vehicle was modeled as a multi level spring-damper system and the combination of all these spring and damper coefficients were determined though a computer code in MATLAB such that minimum amplitude of vibration was transferred to the passenger. In the process I got exposed to the method of solving a highly non linear equation as a system of linear equations, numerically.(January – April 2004).
· “Application of Perspective projections in Robotic Vision” as a part of the course “Computer Graphics and Solid Modeling” under the guidance of Prof. Suman Chakraborty, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, IIT Kharagpur. The main focus of the work was to write a computer code to determine the real shape and size of an object base on the projected view. The development of the code gave a deep insight and practice in sequential application of a number of Matrix operation and transformation.(August – November 2004).
Others:
· Currently involved in a project titled “Numerical Prediction of Flow through porous media” under the guidance of Prof. G.P. Rajashekhar, Dept. of Mathematics, IIT Kharagpur.(January 2006 – Till date) SEMINARS: One of the nine students from IIT Kharagpur who participated in the 4th Indo-German Winter Academy 2005 at Jamshedpur, India, organized by University of Erlangen-Nürnberg Germany, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Kanpur and IIT Guwahati. Delivered a lecture on ‘Vortex Induced Vibrations’ under the guidance of Prof. Sanjay Mittal, Dept. of Aerospace Engineering, IIT Kanpur. (December 2005). ACADEMIC AWARDS/SCHOLARSHIPS RECEIVED: · One of the approximately hundred students throughout India to be awarded the prestigious Summer Research Fellowship - 2004 by Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, Bangalore, to work on a summer project at National Aerospace Laboratories, Bangalore. (May 2004). · One out of the two students selected from IIT Kharagpur for an internship at the Institute of Fluid Mechanics, University of Erlangen-Nürnberg Germany, in summer 2006, from a pool of 45 students who attended the Winter Academy 2005. (May – July 2006). · Won the 1st prize in Pi – The annual Product Design Inter Hall competition held at IIT Kharagpur. (October 2003) · Won the 2nd prize in Pi for two consecutive years (October 2004 and October 2005) EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES: · Sub-Head – Cyber Arena Team – Spring Fest 2004 (Annual Social and Cultural Festival of IIT Kharagpur).
· Head – Cyber Arena Team – Spring Fest 2005.
