Completed Projects
d) Design and development of hydrogen storage device prototype with adsorption - desorption technology.
August 2023 - April 2024 The project was a part of Smart India Hackathon 2019 Hardware Edition organized by Ministry of Education, Government of India.The above problem statement was given by Indian Oil Corporation. Follwing are the key parts of the undertaken project. a) Theoretical modelling towards designing of storage tank, components, material selection etc.b) Optimization of parameters for effective and efficient adsorption – desorption cycles.c) Three-dimensional rendering of calculated design through computer aided designing software.d) Execution towards conversion of an idea to an end product development.
e) A study on effect of reinforcement milling time on mechanical property, ageing and electrochemical behaviour of Al2O3 reinforced Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy metal matrix composites fabricated through powder metallurgy route.
August 2018 - May 2019 Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys also known as AA7075 is popular as aircraft material due to its high strength and heat treatability. Through this project an attempt was made to understand its mechanical, ageing and electrochemical behaviour when reinfoced with Al2O3 ceramic particles forming a metal matrix composite (MMCs). Different MMCs with varied Al2O3 reinforcement content was farbricated through powder metallurgy route.
f) A study on optimization of various machining parameters during machining of two different grades of steel using two different cutting tool.
Jan 2016 - May 2016 Optimization of machining parameters is an esssential aspect for effective and effecient machining operation. However, in order to optimize them, obtaining a relation between parameters such as cutting speed, feed rate, cutting forces etc. and the mechanical properties of both job materials and cutting tool is necessary. This mini project was aimed to figure out the relation between these parameters using different materials and cutting tool.
