Development & Application of Solid Solid-PCM for Thermal Management of Electronics.
Dr. Sandip K. Saha, Professor, IIT Bombay
The project aims to develop a novel solid-solid phase change material for the spacecraft cooling system with the stability of PCM of more than 1000 thermal cycles. Second, to determine the optimum percentage of thermal conductivity enhancer. Third, to develop a reliable and optimally sized hybrid (SS-PCM and heat pipe) honeycomb panel for better isothermalization of the electronics chips at 35-45°C. Fourth, to develop a detailed numerical model of solid-solid phase change material to assess the dynamic melting behaviour. Fifth, to develop an experimental setup consisting of solid-solid PCM and heat pipe in a honeycomb panel, and last, to characterize the thermal performance of honeycomb panels experimentally under continuous and cyclic loading. To evaluate the efficacy of SS-PCM in comparison with solid-liquid (SL)-PCM. For more details, go through the attached write-up.

Development of a model for energy storage and recovery in cold start engine
Dr. Devendra Deshmukh, Associate Professor, IIT Indore
The aim is to find potential solutions for storing exhaust waste energy using phase change material & utilizing it to recover the cold start of an engine. Developed a detailed numerical model in the MATLAB environment and validated it with the experimental results. We also submitted a conference paper at the National Conference on IC Engines & Combustion (NCICEC)-2021. For more details, go through the attached write-up.

DIC’s Terrace Farming Challenge
Robotics, Machine Design, CAD, FEA, and Product Manufacturing
This project is one of the key problem statements for one of the major events at the 8th Inter IIT Tech Meet, held at IIT Roorkee. I worked as a Design & Manufacturing team Head, designing & analyzing a novel lightweight farming robot for terrace farms capable of climbing up and down the stairs & able to perform all other farming operations too. For more details, go through the attached write-up.
