"Experimental assessment of mixed salt hydrates for Thermochemical energy storage":Presented this research at International Renewable Energy Storage ( IRES ) conference in March 2021. Magnesium chloride hexahydrate and calcium chloride dihydrate have been investigated individually as potential candidates for thermochemical heat storage material having high energy density but have respective problems of corrosion and stability.This project focuses on mixing these two salt hydrates in… Show more "Experimental assessment of mixed salt hydrates for Thermochemical energy storage":Presented this research at International Renewable Energy Storage ( IRES ) conference in March 2021. Magnesium chloride hexahydrate and calcium chloride dihydrate have been investigated individually as potential candidates for thermochemical heat storage material having high energy density but have respective problems of corrosion and stability.This project focuses on mixing these two salt hydrates in various molar ratios and analysing the mixed samples for better energy storage material.Improved the energy storage material for domestic water and space heating in a typical dutch house.1 kg of the mixed sample can heat 7.5 litres of water from 10 to 40-degree celsius.Experimental techniques involved X-ray diffraction (XRD), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and a self-built distillation set-up at TU/e lab to both qualify and quantify the corrosive nature of the samples.

Topic of the internship is "Expulsion of a Magnetic field from a Vortex" which comes under Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) study which in simple terms is the interaction between flows of electrically conducting fluids and magnetic fields.The project objective was to numerically simulate this MHD flow process in kinematic as well as dynamic regimes where the magnetic field will affect the flow via the Lorentz force.The simulations were performed using COMSOL software.Commencing with a… Show more Topic of the internship is "Expulsion of a Magnetic field from a Vortex" which comes under Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) study which in simple terms is the interaction between flows of electrically conducting fluids and magnetic fields.The project objective was to numerically simulate this MHD flow process in kinematic as well as dynamic regimes where the magnetic field will affect the flow via the Lorentz force.The simulations were performed using COMSOL software.Commencing with a two-dimensional, single vortex and an initial uniform magnetic field, the evolution of this vortex flow and the magnetic field is studied as a function of the dimensionless numbers that govern the dynamics. In the kinematic regime, flux expulsion process is observed. That is, all the magnetic field is expulsed away from the vortex flow and is concentrated towards its edges. Whereas in the dynamics regime, the relative movement between the electrically conducting fluid and the magnetic field produces an electromotive force in accordance with Faraday's law. This force is called Lorentz force which dominates and suppresses the flux expulsion process and ultimately creating Alfven waves. Show less
