the flash dryer unit and suggested some design improvements which have been taken into

consideration.

Academic Projects:

Rheological study of soft glassy materials (highly viscous petroleum products such as asphalt and

bitumen, cosmetic products etc.) and prediction of their long term properties from short durationexperiments (M.Tech Thesis, Sponsored byBhabha Atomic Research Center, Mumbai).

Guide: Dr. Y.M. Joshi, Department of Chemical Engineering

Designed and simulated a Di-Methyl Ether (DME)plant using HYSYS. Set up the control structure,

identified issues and tuned the strategy. Economic analysis of the plant was also done.Guide: Dr. Nitin Kaistha, Department of Chemical Engineering

Catalytic Combustion of L.P.G. using Non-Noble metal based catalysts. An experimental strategywas designed and implemented for optimization of the process.Guide: Dr. Goutam Deo, Department of Chemical Engineering and Dr. D.P. Mishra, Department ofAerospace Engineering

Poiseuille flow down an inclined plane. An alternate viscosity measurement model was proposed

and supported with experimental results. The proposed model predicted viscosity of water with only 5% error.
