Project Title: CFD & THERMAL ANALSYS OF CHARGE AIR COOLER FOR HALGONA RADIATORS
Client: Halgona Radiators P Ltd
Tool used: Hypermesh, Ansys, MathCAd
Description:
Thermal design analysis of charge air cooler is carried out for Halgona Radiators P Ltd. The charge air cooler is used to
cool the compresses hot air (from turbocharger) in the tube side by cool ambient air on fin
side.
• CFD analysis of compressed air flow through tubes:
2D CFD analysis of the compressed air path is carried out to ascertain the extent of flow
deviations from top to bottom bank of tubes.
• 2D CFD analysis of louvered fins:
CFD analysis of the louvered fins is carried out to compute the velocity profile around
the individual fins, from which the heat transfer coefficient for the fins is computed using heat transfer calculations over
flat plate.
Cross check based on experimental data on similar Louvered fins:
This calculations is carried out as a verification for the CFD analysis using nearest available heat transfer coefficient
based on experimental results.
• Thermal analysis of radiator – single ½ cell:
A single ½ cell of the air cooler is taken for thermal analysis.
From the steady state thermal analysis results, average temperature on the tube inside & fins is computed.
The computed heat load based on FE method is comared with heat load computed by LMTD method.
Project Title: MUV CHASSIS ASSEMBLY STATIC & DYNAMIC STRESS ANALYSIS
Client: INTERNATIONAL TRACTORS LTD.
Tool used: ANSYS
Description:
The chassis with suspension systems is to be analysed under static & road dynamic conditions. The aim of this report is to
carry out the FE (Finite Element) analysis using ANSYS & report the adequacy of the present design for any further
correction / modifications
• Static Stress Analysis:
Theoretical calculations & Simple Straight Beam Model w/o suspension:
This is done to verify the analysis results using simple beam equations.
• Full Model with Suspension:
Full model consisting of chassis, suspension stiffness & damper (represented as Combin 14 element in ANSYS), front
& rear axle (represented as beam element) and tire stiffness & damping at each of the four axle locations is analysed.
• Road Vibration (PSD) Response:
PSD analysis is carried out after modal analysis under road excitation spectrum
• Fatigue Calculations:
From material ultimate tensile strength of σu = 45 kgf/mm2, we estimate the endurance stress level for the material to
be σe = σu /3 = 15 kgf/mm2.
Goodmans diagram is a plot of static stress vs dynamic stress calculated from above analysis for the material at different
hot spots of the chassis.
Project Title: STATIC & DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF RTTM BLOWER
Client: NADI AIRTECHNICS P LTD
Tools Used: ANSYS
3. Description: The aim is to carryout static & dynamic stress analysis of the RTTM blower meant for
railway applications. The blower is expected to cool the air finned heat exchanger. The analysis is carried out for Nadi Air
technics P Ltd., Chennai. The data were provided by them. It is expected that the impeller stresses be well within material

Modal (natural frequency) analysis of the rotor consisting of shaft + hub + impeller & total fan assembly including casing is
carried out.
Harmonic response analysis is carried out to simulate the support excitation.
Spectrum analysis (random vibration analysis using single point & srss combination method) is used.
Project Title: FE Analysis of Horsehead
Client: G.E.
Description: Horsehead is the main component in oil pumping unit. It is used to mechanically lift liquid
out of the well. Horsehead consists of Rocker Plate, Bumper Plate, Connection Plate, and
head plate. All components of horsehead were attached to side plate with welds. So, the
customer was interested to know the weld life and fatigue life of the Horsehead, so that
they could work on the design change of Horsehead for cost reduction.
Tool used: Hypermesh, Ansys, MathCAd ,Verity
Challenges:
• Welds life data was coming different as compared to field data,because of wrong assumptions of boundary
conditions.The model was becoming more stiff because of constraints applied.so, A number od iterations are done on
boundary conditions and came up with accurate boundary conditions.
• Creation of macro, because with every crank angle,the contact between rope and horsehead was updating
Responsibilities:
• Engaged in meshing the solid welds according to weld map and give proper connection, meshing was done in
Hypermesh; created Ansys Macro to run the model for all the load cases and to use it for future perspective
• Calculated the weld life of horsehead using VERITY, software developed by Battelle for calculating weld life
• Studied the full oil unit in detail and came up with the accurate Boundary condition, due to which FE data was matching
with the real data.
• Managed major concerns such as boundary conditions and convergence issue.
• Calculated the fatigue life of the horsehead components.
• Calcualted Weld life using hand Calculation to verity the VERITY results.
