In a significant gathering of faculty and enthusiasts at BIT’s National Seminar Hall, sponsored by IEEE Mangalore sub-section and Institution’s Innovation Council(IIC), Dr. SA Khan from IIUM Malaysia, an esteemed international authority in the field of aerospace engineering, was warmly welcomed by Dr. Vasanth Kumar, Head of the Mechanical Engineering Department. Dr. Khan presented a talk on “Numerical and Experimental Study of Passive Control in the Form of Ribs at Sonic and Supersonic Mach Numbers with the Application of Neural Networks.”
The research delved into the intriguing realm of aerospace engineering, focusing on the utilization of passive control mechanisms involving ribs at both sonic and supersonic Mach numbers. Dr. Khan’s presentation captivated the audience as he discussed the extensive experimental investigation he had undertaken. This investigation aimed to unravel the effects of passive control while using ribs of varying diameters, specifically 6 mm, 8 mm, and 10 mm. Ribs were strategically placed at different duct locations, including 1D, 2D, 3D, and 4D.
The event commenced punctually at 10:30 AM on September 22, 2023, and drew a diverse audience of academicians, researchers, and students eager to delve into the complex world of aerospace engineering and fluid mechanics. Dr. Khan’s presentation showcased the extensive knowledge and innovative thinking that have propelled him to international acclaim in his field.
His application of neural networks to enhance the understanding of passive control mechanisms in aerospace engineering added a cutting-edge dimension to the research, making it of particular interest to the academic and industrial communities alike. The BIT community expresses its sincere gratitude to Dr. SA Khan for his invaluable contribution. The event was coordinated by Dr. Imran Mokashi of the Mechanical Engineering Department.
