Project Title: CFD Analysis of Drone Blade
Name of Students: Harsh Bode, Nitanshu Modekar, Siddharth Lakhwani
Project Description:Nowadays, drone technology is seen to be rapidly advancing in various fields and applications including photography, military, transportation, sports, and many more. Therefore, each drone design requires different aerodynamic requirements, which includes different types of propeller designs. by revolving and generating airflow, the propellers give drones or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) a lift force or thrust.
This study presents a novel integrated study of the aerodynamic performance and acoustic signature of multirotor propellers with a specific focus on the blade twist angle effect. Experimental measurements and computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations were utilized to examine and compare the aerodynamic performance and noise reduction between different shapes of the drone propellers. Therefore, this work falls on the study of the aerodynamic effect of different drone blade tip shapes on the overall performance of the rotor. Firstly, 3-D models are made with different types of modifications, from linear and elliptical taper, to different twist ratios. Once a mesh, volume, and time-step study is done using a high fidelity CFD program, these rotors are simulated at high RPM which, corresponding to their diameter. Once the best propeller is chosen, they are 3-D printed and tested on a test stand in order to verify any trends discovered in the CFD analysis.

Project Title: Multilevel Car Parking
Name of Students: Aditya Raskar, Hrishikesh Nalge, Prathamesh Mandvekar, Atharva Rokade
Project Description: This study presents the design and structural analysis of a car parking lifting system using ANSYS Workbench, focusing on the comparison of lift structures constructed from different materials such as steel and aluminum. The analysis encompasses static and dynamic loading conditions to evaluate the performance, stability, and safety of the lifting system. Through finite element analysis, the study investigates the structural integrity and deformation characteristics of the lift structure under various loads, considering factors such as material properties, geometric configurations, and operational constraints. Additionally, vibration analysis is conducted to assess the systems dynamic response and identify potential resonance phenomena. The findings of this research aim to provide valuable insights into the optimal material selection and design considerations for car parking lifting systems, ultimately enhancing their efficiency, durability, and reliability.

Project Title: IoT Based Smart Irrigation Monitoring And Controlling Sysytem
Name of Students: Mr. Shubham Bakade, Mr.Suprit Bardekar,Mr. Ronak Rathore, Mr. Jayesh Renge
Project Description: The population of world is increasing and area is decreasing. We are in the stage of compact world, where all things are going to compact, the time is to think about the vehicle which can be folded easily and can be taken everywhere. The basic aim behind our project is to make a portable vehicle which would be easy to handle by everyone. Also keeping in mind the parking problems, we have decided to make a portable suitcase vehicle which can be folded easily. So after use one can fold this vehicle into a suitcase and carry it along with him or her. While designing, we concentrated on power, economy, ease and comfort of riding and low maintenance cost. Also we concentrated on ergonomic factors to use the user a comfortable ride.

Project Title: – Design and Fabrication of Hybrid vehicle.
Name of Students: Mr. Sanket Kubade, Mr. Vinayak Aghav, Mr. Supritam Datta, Mr. Charls Naidu
Project Description: – The present global climatic conditions are not good due to the adverse effects of global warming. The key player in the increase in global warming is the green house effect. Green house effect is caused by the trapping of excess radiation in the earth’s atmosphere by the various polluting gases have a major part in the emission of these green house gases. In general a hybrid electric vehicle is a vehicle which has two power sources. One of them is a conventional I.C engine and the other one is most commonly an electric motor. The power to the electric motor comes from the energy stored in a battery pack. The battery pack can be recharged by connecting it to a power grid or the engine can drive a generator which in turn charges the battery. The vehicle can be driven by either the electric motor which gets its power from the I.C engine (series hybrid). Or the vehicle can be driven by either the engine or the motor or both simultaneously (Parallel hybrid).
