Academic Projects

Aerocase

Individual Course Project
ME 203 : Design and Manufacturing

  • Designed and fabricated a compact, innovative, and functional instrument case that ensures the safe storage of Aerodrum instruments while reflecting the aesthetic essence of music.
  • Made using Al 5052 aluminum sheet, A356 cast aluminum, common pine lumber, Duron hardboard and polyurethane foam. Major processes include sheet metal bending, TIG welding, sand casting, wood working, laser cutting and 3D printing

Efficient Battery Thermal Management Systems for EV

Final year B. Tech. thesis project
Advisor: Dr. B. R. Pattabhi

Macro-scale Design Aspects of EV Battery Pack

Summer research internship project
Advisors: Dr. Sundararajan Natarajan and Dr. B. R. Pattabhi

  • Performed preliminary battery pack design calculations by initially developing a system of equations in EXCEL and later implementing it in a MATLAB app for a better GUI experience.
  • MATLAB source code : GitHub Repository

Balancing Aspects of Inline and V-engines

Group semester project

  • Performed analysis and evaluation of unbalanced force present in inline (four cylinders) and V-2 engines using ANSYS software.

Battery Voltage Level Indicator

Basic electronics lab group project

  • Designed and implemented a circuit consisting of two op-amps (IC UA741), two LEDs, two resistors and two potentiometers capable of detecting two voltage levels of any battery connected to the circuit by turning on the two LEDs one after another. The op-amps were configured as comparator in the circuit. The two potentiometers can be adjusted to set any desired levels of voltage to be detected.
