•	Employed Plasma Actuators in a gas turbine combustion chamber to intensify the flow turbulization for better mixing and combustion.
•	Created the 3D Geometry and Mesh of the gas turbine combustion chamber in GAMBIT 2.4.6 and performed 3D Large Eddy Simulation in FLUENT 6.3.26 to accurately capture the physics involved with the flow modification and combustion phenomenon inside the chamber.
•	Input the three dimensional plasma force employing user defined functions (UDF).
•	The flame structure has been modified reducing the maximum flame temperature after employing the plasma actuators.
Numerical Simulation of Plasma Assisted Turbulent Combustion (M.S Thesis)
•	Two dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations have been solved on rectangular grid using a computer code.
•	The grid chosen was a staggered grid where pressure is located at the cell center and velocities are located at the cell edges.
•	A fractional step method has been implemented to solve the continuity and momentum equations, where each time step is split into fractional steps and only selected terms of the governing equations are included in each fractional step. 
•	The above code was used to solve the Driven-Cavity problem and grid refinement studies were carried out to obtain accurate solutions.
Simulation of the Driven-Cavity problem employing a staggered grid
•	Developed a method for optimizing various output parameters in a combined cycle power plant by writing a Matlab code.
Process Optimization of Combined Cycle Power Plant Adopting Exergy Analysis
•	Performed simulation studies on combined conduction-convection-radiation from a rectangular cavity equipped with traversable flush mounted discrete heat sources.
•	A computer code making use of finite difference method coupled with Gauss-Seidel solver has been written.
•	A grid sensitivity analysis was made resulting in the identification of an optimum grid system.
•	Local temperature distribution and maximum temperature have been thoroughly studied varying the input parameters.
Effect of Surface Radiation on Conjugate Convection in a Discretely Heated Rectangular Cavity
•	Calculated the engine performance parameters such as brake power, SFC, A/F Ratio and brake thermal efficiency and used the temperature at various locations to obtain the heat balance sheet and optimum coolant water temperature by use of SFC curves.
Performance Testing and Optimization of coolant water temperature of a Four-Stroke Diesel Engine.
•	Built setup for mounting a pyranometer with a minimal cost required for carrying out the experiment.
•	The insolation readings were read from a solar integrator which is connected to the pyranometer and these were noted at different angles of inclination of the pyranometer and at intervals of 30 minutes from 9 AM to 3 PM. 
•	The experimental results were used by a different group to compare with the theoretical values.
Estimation and experimental validation of insolation on inclined planes
•	Employed various technical concepts for designing a practical large scale wind turbine.
•	Cost modeling technique has been applied to obtain a tradeoff between the sizes of the wind turbine producing energy at a minimum cost.
•	This work has won the National 2nd Prize in an Industrial Design Contest conducted by G.E Energy at I.I.T Kharagpur.
