Projects/Thesis
1
Student Assistant (HiWi)Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg
- Optimized setup for producing uniformly coated carbon catalyst for PEM fuel cells using aerosol deposition method - Took SEM images and analyzed them for the uniform coating - Reviewed more than 60 papers related to fuel cells and electrolyzers
2
Modelling and simulation of Newell and Lee Evaporator( Multivariable process) to controlOtto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg
- Team project with 5 people - Simulated the process in the SIMULINK platform - Analyzed the control behaviour
3
CFD simulation around a TIE fighterOtto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg
- Simulated flow around the fighter at different velocities to estimate aerodynamic drag and lift. - Validated the model using literature values. - Concluded that the TIE fighter cannot fly with the current specification and a change in design is necessary to make it fly.
4
Simulation of shock tube in OpenFOAMOtto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg
- Simulated shock tube in OpenFOAM and validated the model with literature values. - Compared two solver physics to find the better solver.
