Other experience

• Finite Element Analysis on Ansys Executed 1D, 2D (plane stress/strain), and 3D (tetrahedral/hex) mesh convergence studies on beam structures to determine most accurate stress results and validation methods. Applied iterative mesh refinement and statistical convergence to ensure reliable performance analysis.
• Gearbox Design Engineered gearbox transmitting 150 Hp across 4 gears and 3 shafts while achieving required speed ratio (500 → 1000 rpm); performed detailed calculations for teeth numbers, diametral pitch, tangential/radial forces, and component validation. Conducted Brinell hardness analysis and iterative shaft design with critical speed checks; produced full SOLIDWORKS CAD package for procurement-ready documentation.
• Cooling Tower Analysis & Optimization Led full-factorial (27 conditions) and Taguchi experimental design + validated Simulink model across 7 parameters (tower height, packing density, heat load, ambient conditions) to maximize thermal efficiency. Developed operating cost model incorporating pump power, evaporation rate, and electricity costs; optimized design parameters balancing efficiency gains against cost trade-offs (achieved 73.36% efficiency with only 3.3% cost increase). Performed comprehensive uncertainty analysis (bias, precision, total) and benchmarking via main effects plots to identify most influential factors and support data-driven investment decisions.
