📜 I’ve just received my completion certificate for this incredible internship, and I couldn’t be more excited! This past month has been a whirlwind of learning and hands-on experience, and I’m so grateful for the chance to dive into some really cool projects at National Institute of Ocean Technology.
🔬 Working with brilliant scientists and engineers, my teammates VISWA M and Infant Jevin S , and I got to explore the fascinating world of Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) and Low-Temperature Thermal Desalination (LTTD) systems. We conducted detailed mechanical analyses on various materials and looked into their applications in these cutting-edge systems.
💡 Here are some highlights from what we worked on:
->Examined the mechanical properties of flash chambers made from different materials (Structural steel, Aluminum Alloy, Grey cast iron) used in OTEC and LTTD systems with ANSYS.
->Did comparative studies and recommended titanium as the best material for flash chambers.
->Evaluated how structural steel, aluminum alloy, and grey cast iron perform under different load conditions using advanced simulations.
->Investigated the potential of OTEC and LTTD systems for sustainable energy and freshwater production.
->Analyzed the crucial role of winch systems in deploying and maintaining oceanographic equipment, improving operational efficiency and safety.
I want to give a huge shoutout to Dr. N. R. Ramesh, Dr. V. Samson Packiaraj, Mr. Karthikeyan Avudaiyappan, and the entire NIOT team for their incredible support and mentorship. Their insights and guidance made this experience truly memorable.
🙏 Also, a big thanks to SKCT Mechanical and Dr.prathap paulraj, the Head of the Mechanical Engineering Department at Sri Krishna College of Technology, for allowing me to complete my internship at National Institute of Ocean Technology.This internship has not only sharpened my technical skills but also expanded my network, connecting me with amazing people in marine technology and sustainable energy. I’m super excited to use what I’ve learned in future projects and continue exploring new advancements in this field.
