Projects/Thesis
1
Enhancing Sustainability through Eco-Industrial ParksBirla Institute of Technology and Science
• Studied the concept of Eco-Industrial Parks (EIPs), examining data on manufacturing facilities and effluent discharge regulations. • Developed a mathematical model to reduce water consumption (by 94%) and working capital (by 68%) of a model EIP using MATLAB. • Prepared a technical report discussing the concept, its implementation, and its financial viability (under review for publication).
2
Vegetative Protein-based BioplasticsBirla Institute of Technology and Science
• Conducted in-depth analysis of terrestrial & aquatic vegetative proteins (gluten, zein, water hyacinth, duckweed, etc). • Studied the methods of processing of proteins, their mechanical properties, biodegradability, and economic feasibility. • Collated the information and prepared a literature review (planned for future publication).
3
Technological Developments in the Processing of Oil SandsBirla Institute of Technology and Science
• Studied about the Oil Sands of Alberta, their composition, processing, and technological developments in mining, extraction & refining domains.
4
Electric Discharge Machining (EDM)Birla Institute of Technology and Science
• Studied the effect of a dielectric fluid on the surface finish of a composite in Electric Discharge Machining (EDM).
5
Temperature Profiling of a Radial Fin using DiscretizationBirla Institute of Technology and Science
Analyzed the heat transfer in radial fin heat exchangers by applying discretization techniques. • Compiled MATLAB code to develop the temperature distribution using iterative finite difference methods. • Quantified fin effectiveness & provided insights for optimizing fin design and heat exchanger performance.
