Projects
Stability Analysis of Multi-Phase Flash and Azeotropic Distillation Systems (Master Research Project) Jan 2015 - Dec 2015
Carnegie Mellon University (Pittsburgh, PA), advised by Prof. B. Erik Ydstie
• Built a ternary mixture (water-methanol-isopropanol) flash system in Aspen Plus and generated input multiplicity under different
operation conditions.
• Built another model of ternary homogeneous separation system (methanol-methyl butyrate-toluene) in Aspen Plus.
• Generated output multi-steady states by analyzing the process model in Aspen Plus and Matlab simulation, finished deeper
analysis to get sustained oscillation of the system.
Design and Optimization of Propylene Manufacture by Propane Dehydrogenation Jan 2015 - Apr 2015
Carnegie Mellon University (Pittsburgh, PA)
• Redesigned and Optimized a poorly optimized propylene production flowsheet with GAMS and Aspen Plus.
• Optimized the tray numbers of the distillation columns and heat exchange network.
• Improved the purity of product from 98% to 99%, reduced heat capacity of the heat exchange network by 8.1%.
Ethylene-Ethane Distillation Column Design Sep 2013 - Dec 2013
Dalian University of Technology (Dalian, China)
• Analyzed physical properties of the mixture in Aspen Plus and numerically calculated inlet temperature.
• Designed tray size, number of trays ,feed location and other details of the column and tested the availability.
• Graphed the corresponding equipments with Auto CAD.
Image Classification (Machine Learning Project) Sep 2015 - Dec 2015
Carnegie Mellon University (Pittsburgh, PA)
• Implemented three classifiers in Matlab, which were K-Nearest Neighbors, Gaussian Naive Bayes and Neural Network.
• Trained three classifiers with the given training data using PCA and the implemented classifiers.
• Achieved accuracies of 53.2%, 50.2% and 59.2% with test data corresponding to each classifier.
