Analysis of Mechanical Performance of Crumpled Graphene: A Molecular Dynamics Approach.
This study investigates crumpled graphene (CG) and its mechanical properties through molecular dynamics simulation.
Factors such as crumpling extent, structural aspects, and substrate properties are analyzed. Results indicate
that increasing crumpling initially reduces fracture toughness, but beyond a threshold (14.7Å), it rises. Vander
Waals forces between graphene layers contribute to this. Porosity also significantly affects CG's mechanical
properties; porous CG exhibits lower fracture toughness. The study explores strain energy storage and finds that
pore presence reduces it, requiring careful porosity management for optimal performance. Additionally, CG's
response to uniaxial compressive load is examined, with insights into its deformation characteristics, revealing
varying fracture resistance along different axes. In summary, this work provides valuable insights into CG's
mechanical properties, aiding the development of specialized graphene-based materials through understanding
fracture behavior and porosity effects. Supervised By: Dr. Md. Ashiqur Rahman, Professor, Dept of ME, BUET. Softwares Used: LAMMPS, MATLAB, OVITO, Tecplot360
CFD Study of MHD Mixed Convection in a Quadrantal Cavity with Heat Conducting Rotating Cylinder
This study investigates magnetohydrodynamic mixed convective heat transport within a rotating cylinder-equipped enclosure. It employs finite element
analysis to explore a range of parameters' effects on heat transfer, including magnetic field strength, Richardson number, Reynolds number, and
cylinder diameter. The study reveals that Nusselt number decreases with increased magnetic field and Richardson number, while heat transfer
increases with rising Reynolds number and larger cylinder diameter. Additionally, the rotation direction of the cylinder (clockwise or counterclockwise)
proves to be significant in various scenarios.

Electric Temperature Control System
The objective of this approach is to design a cooling system for achieving a cooling effect sufficient to maintain operating temperature of an electronic component.
The temperature is controlled and optimized by tuning the system for P, PI and PID controller configurations. The investigation is conducted for the optimum
value of the gains that results in the fastest response time and a stable system.

Design of a Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger: Thermo Fluid System Design
The study conducts a three-dimensional numerical simulation of shell-and-tube heat exchangers with continuous helical baffles (STHXsHB).
CAD model was developed and simulated using finite element method (FEM) in ANSYS. The results demonstrated that STHXsHB
outperforms conventional STHXs with significantly higher heat transfer coefficient per unit pressure drop (72-127% higher) and lower
shell-side pressure drop (59-63% lower) for the same shell-side mass flow rate. The computational model is validated by comparing shell-side
average Nusselt number with experimental results. Supervised By: Dr. AKM Monjur Morshed, Professor, Dept of ME, BUET. Softwares Used: SOLIDWORKS, ANSYS, HTRI, 3EPLus
The project aims to develop a comprehensive driver drowsiness detection and speed control system to enhance road safety and prevent
accidents caused by driver fatigue or distractions. The system relies on head motion analysis to identify signs of drowsiness, and
a prototype of the speed control mechanism is implemented using DC motors. An integrated alarming system will notify the driver in
real-time if drowsiness or distraction is detected. By reducing the vehicle's speed when signs of drowsiness are identified, the
system effectively mitigates potential hazards. Furthermore, the system also has the capability to detect driver distraction,
ensuring proactive safety measures based on head position data collected through a devised head mount. This project holds the
potential to significantly contribute to the reduction of road accidents and safeguard the well-being of both drivers and
passengers. Supervised By: Dr. Kazi Arafat Rahman, Assistant Professor, Dept of ME, BUET. Softwares Used: Arduino IDE, Proteus, SOLIDWORKS
