Studies on Pressurized Solar Thermal Receiver and Thermal Energy Storage System
High-efficiency power cycles for concentrating solar power (CSP) technology such as air or supercritical carbon-dioxide (s-CO2) based Brayton cycle require high-pressure high-temperature conditions at the gas turbine ...
Droplet, Jets, and Leaky Surfaces
Surface structuring on a micro-nano scale, combined with a low surface energy coating, leads to anti-wetting properties. Such surfaces also exhibit other properties such as self-cleaning, antifouling, bacteriostatic, drag ...
Role of Fiber Orientations in the Mechanobiology of Cells under Stretch
Fiber reinforcement plays an important role in the structure and function of biological materials. Soft connective tissues in human body like artery, heart tissues, skin etc. exhibit anisotropic material responses due to ...
Studies on Rotary Atomization
In rotary fuel injection systems, the fuel is atomized with the help of centrifugal force provided by the rotation of the injector. The rotational power can be directly provided by the shaft of a gas turbine, which can go ...
Global control of mechanics on Riemannian manifolds, and applications to under-actuated aerial vehicles
We consider the problem of designing trajectory tracking feedback control laws for La-
grangian mechanical systems in a Riemannian geometric framework. Classical nonlinear
control techniques that rely on Euclidean ...
Studies on Mixing Characteristics in the Critical Flow Regime of Supersonic Ejectors
Ejectors are passive devices having ubiquitous applications in several engineering domains, including modern-day applications in supercritical CO2-based power and refrigeration cycles. The ejector compresses a low-enthalpy ...
Experimental and Numerical Studies on High-pressure Trapped Vortex Combustion
Recent climate change issues demand stringent emission standards for natural gas-fired power generation applications. The Trapped Vortex Combustor (TVC) is a relatively new concept where the flame is stabilized using a ...
Experimental Investigation of Novel High Shear Injector at Elevated Pressure Conditions: Hydrodynamics, Spray and Combustion Characterization
The stringent pollution and emission norms due to the present climate change and global warming have pushed industries to meet these norms and cut down their emission levels. In the same pipeline, the aviation industries ...
Hydrodynamic stability of shear flows : Jet in crossflow, particle laden planar and swirling jets
Jet in crossflow is a flow scenario that involves momentum exchange of a round jet injected into a crossflow. This flow configuration has industrial importance because of its application in gas turbine combustors which ...
Study of Human Safety-centric Strategies for Human-Robot Coexistence
With the increasing integration of robots into various domains and their coexistence with humans, ensuring human safety has become a critical concern. This thesis highlights the challenges associated with human safety in ...
