SUMMARY:-
 I (Mehlam Jupiterwala) have Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from Stony Brook university, NY with
major in Thermal fluid science (CFD), with good experience in designing nozzles, ducts, combustion processes
and engine cooling and exhaust systems with wide knowledge of various types of fluid flows (including
multiphase flows). I have worked on component level as well as system level design. With good expertise in C
and Fortran coding.
EDUCATION
 MS, Mechanical Engineering, Stony Brook University NY (GPA 3.85/4.0) Graduation 15th
August 2015.
 BS, Mechanical Engineering, University of Pune, India (68.7%) Graduated May 2011.
SOFTWARE SKILLS:-
ACADEMIC INTERNSHIP AND THESIS:
Design Engineer (CFD) Intern at Rocketstar Inc. (paid 20hr/week) 01/2015 - 07/2015
Designed new Aerospike (altitude compensator) nozzle instead of conventional bell nozzle to increase its
performance and efficiency.
Setup a 2D static simulation of nozzle in ‘Ansys Fluent’ generating velocity, pressure and temperature profiles for
calculating output thrust. Compared Ansys Fluent results with analytical Matlab results of nozzle.
Also designed a combustion chamber to generate temperature of the flame, with its full chemical equilibrium.
MASTER’S RESEARCH PROJECT: (Under Sr.Prof. Foluso Ladeinde ) 08/2013–01/2015
Title: - An Study of opposed jet compressible jet-flow by similarity approach.
Physics can be seen as: A hydrogen and Oxygen opposed jets flows in combustion chamber. Objective is to study
these complex flows with simplified approaches.
Conventional flow/heat equations and its boundary condition is converted into Blasius type equation using similarity
variable and after which solved by numerical methods using Fortran code.
Method is verified and compared using Comsol simulation.
CONFERENCE PAPER in APS Div of Fluid Mechanics, SF 2014.
Title : “Flow past confined nano-cylinders: A study on the limits of lubrication theory”.
Paper focuses on calculating drag force on immersed cylinder in a confined rectangular channel subjected with
creeping strokes flow.
2D Model was created such that cylinder and wall surface have micro gap in-between, thus different mesh regions
were created for efficient meshing in Comsol for studying limits of lubrication and results were cross referenced with
existing analytical formulation given by Faxen using a C code.
PROFESSIONAL WORK EXPERIENCE:
1) Product Design Engineer in R&D dept for Piaggio Vehicles Pvt Ltd . 07/2011 – 06/2013
 Designed and analyzed components for Automobile like sheet metal assemblies, pipe frameworks, engine parts
and overall vehicle assembly (CAD and CAE).
 Lead Member of Value engineering team for Design to Cost projects leading modifications in projects from
Engineering to production. Responsibility included resolving engineering related issues. Achieved cost reduction
of 550 INR per vehicle.
 Worked on SAP module for creating/changing bill of material for modified designs and assembly structures.
2) Trainer for Aero-modeling and Robotics for students in Technosavvy Labs, Pune 06/2010 – 07/2011
 Being President of Aeroclub, I collaborated with Technosavvy labs for extending STEM education, by Conducting
class room lectures and practical workshops for 10th
to 12th
Graders on Robotics and Aerodynamics.

2. PROJECTS UNDERTAKEN:
Maximizing heat flow in Engine fins:-
 Solved 1D convection heat flow equation in finned surface using Matlab script (bvp4c function)
 Model and its appropriate meshing with Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions were given in Comsol.
 Area and perimeters were optimized for maximizing heat flow.
Calculating Forces and moments on Boeing 747 wing:-
 Point cloud data of Boeing wing surface was extrapolated from Aeroflow software.
 Matlab code was developed for this input cloud data for calculating forces and moments on wing surface which
was compared with the original Aero-flow analysis for errors and deviation in analytical calculation.
Design and development of Vertical take-off and landing plane
(Final year Undergraduate Degree Project under Air India pvt ltd and Pune Aero-modellers Association)
 Scaled aircraft was made on the concept of harrier jump jet with Eleverons (having only one control surface) and
duct piping to increase the static thrust for vertical lift.
 Challenge was to select profile and material according to the capacity of Air ducting fan on which CG and other
parameters depends.
Exhaust system design for BAJA SAE India
 Designed exhaust system compatible with provided BAJA SAE engine, for 4wheeler all-terrain vehicle.
 Idea was to have a unique design with least emission without major reduction in backpressure. Critical design
and selection depended on catalytic converter being efficient.
