RESEARCH INTEREST:
• Fluid Mechanics & Heat and Mass Transfer
• Solid Mechanics
• Finite Element Analysis & Modelling of Mechanical Properties
• Thermodynamics
• IC Engines
 PROJECTS COMPLETED:
• Design of Robotic Arm:
The model is capable of moving in all the three directions just by the movement of
handles. It could lift some weight and transfer it to some other place.
• Casting Project:
In this project we designed a small model of a pistol by casting process. The
magazine inside this was capable of moving in and out.
• Thermoelectric refrigeration:
In this project we had to design a small box which has to be cooled by dc current
and after that we had to measure the efficiency of the system.
• Characteristic Time Determination for Transport Phenomenon during the
electro kinetic treatment of porous medium
• Modelling of MechanicaL properties of tetragonal Truss
• Design of ‘an effective, automated and blockage-free sewer system’
• Design of the mechanical setup of a solar panel
