Numerical Simulation of Automotive Condenser with R134a and R1234yf

This work presents a numerical simulation of an automotive air conditioner condenser for refrigerants R134a and R1234yf.
With a focus on possible retrofitting of the system with the eco-friendly, low global warming potential refrigerant R1234yf in place of R134a.
The study compares the properties of the refrigerants using MATLAB code, which requires only the inlet temperatures of the refrigerant and air.
Various correlations are used to determine the refrigerant properties, and the effectiveness-NTU method is used to determine the outlet temperature of the refrigerant and air.

This journey was a blend of teamwork, research, and practical learning.
We are deeply grateful to our respected professor, whose invaluable guidance, encouragement, and mentorship played a pivotal role in the successful completion of this project.

Design and Fabrication of ATV

Collaborated with a cross-functional team of 30 members to build an all-terrain vehicle for a National Level SAE EBAJA competition.
We constructed an ATV from scratch, adhering to all the rules of the BAJA SAEINDIA.
As the Design and Fabrication Lead at the VVCEBAJA team, I spearheaded the design of sheet metal parts like mounts, side panels for an electrical ATV, and also optimized the chain drive and motor coupling system.
I played a key role in managing project timelines, workforce allocation, and vehicle fabrication.

We, the team Infernoracers, participated in the SAE eBAJA - 2023 competition hosted by Chitkara University in Chandigarh.

A defining moment with ‘Shourya,’ our ATV that passed every technical inspection at SAE eBAJA — the result of teamwork, engineering skills, and dedication.

Throughout my journey as a design and fabrication lead, I have contributed to the development of multiple components and systems.
These designs—such as the suspension mount and brake pedal—serve as examples of my expertise.
While the designs may include minor errors at the student level, they demonstrate a strong understanding and application of engineering principles.
Each project helped me understand how to balance functionality, manufacturability, and reliability.
These examples stand as early milestones in my growth toward becoming an industry-ready design engineer.
