Application of AUTONOMIE to simulate performance of Hybrid electric vehicles.
The project is about simulation of hybrid drive train and estimating the fuel economy for UDDS
and highway drive cycle using AUTONOMIE software. The effectiveness of the different
hybrid electric drive train architectures is also evaluated and compared with a conventional
vehicle.

Cruise control of Engine and Stepper motor
The project involves building Simulink models and designing classical controller for system
with nonlinear components. The hardware and actuators used were operated by analog signals,
both DAC and an ADC was used. The engine apparatus consists of a scale mo del steam engine,
which is driven by compressed air through a motor controlled valve. A Proportional Integral
(PI) controller and feedback loop was developed. The various characteristics like the Settling
time, Steady state value, overshoot were studied fo r the system built.

Effect of engine parameters on emissions in IC engine
The project involves building mathematical model in MATLAB and studying effect of different
engine parameters like combustion time, temperature, Injection pressure, Air -fuel ratio on the
emissions.

Parametric Studies on Multi-mode heat transfer from a rectangular slab with multiple
discrete heat sources.
The project deals with simulation studies on multi -mode heat transfer from a discretely heated
rectangular slab. The slab is equipped with five flush-mounted discrete heat sources of identical
rating and dimensions. The governing equations for temperature distribution in the entire slab
are obtained by energy balance. The resulting non linear partial differential equations are
converted into algebraic form using finite difference formulation and are solved by Gauss
.
Siedal iterative solver. The effects of parameters like surface emissivity, convection heat
transfer coefficient and thermal conductivity, on local temperature distribu tion, peak slab
temperature and relative contributions of convection and radiation are studied in detail.

Feasibility Studies and Framework for Dual air -road mode vehicle.
The research aims at establishing a frame work and performance envelop e for the dual mode
vehicle, in other words the Roadable aircraft or the Flying car. The roadable aircraft is
predominantly a road vehicle and has capability to meet the air regulations with all required
safety devices on-board. The study dwells into some preliminary design aspects like power -fuel
requirements for both modes, wing-airfoil parameters and approach to address the road ability
issues arising due to wing. The study also focuses on identifying the challenges that need to be
solved to build a dual air- road mode vehicle.
The paper got accepted for ASME and is in process of review .
