chemical Engineering process.
G.B ENGINEERING ENTERPRISES, TRICHY, TN, INDIA Sep 2008-Apr 2009 Process Engineering Co-op
Process development: Preparation and Characterization of Activated Carbon
Developed a process to produce highly porous Activated Carbon from rice husk.
Characterized Activated Carbon using BET technique, STM (Scanning Tunneling Microscope) and
measured its porosity, Surface area etc.
Prepared process flow diagram and scaled the process for industrial application.
Optimized the procedure to achieve maximum possible yield at minimal cost and applied quality control
techniques to achieve optimum product.
S&I ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS and IISC, BANGALORE, INDIA May 2008-Jul 2008
CFD Simulation Intern (Project Report) Numerical computations for the flow past an Omar 4-element Airfoil using Computational Fluid Dynamics.
Simulated the Fluid flow over an Omar Airfoil using Finite-Element method and Navier-stokes equations
Used Ansys (Gambit) software to generate a grid around the Airfoil and used Fluent (and Hifun) to study the
flow around the airfoil.
