Pankaj Vazirani
Mumbai, India
Advisor: Dr. Bassem Ramadan
Department:
Mechanical Engineering
Project Description:
Quantifying and analyzing air flow in intake systems for internal combustion engines. Air flow motion such as swirl and tumble can influence fuel evaporation and mixing, especially in directly injected engines. This project will utilize CFD to analyze and quantify air flow properties to optimize the design of intake systems.
