My fascination towards Mechanical Engineering can be traced right from my childhood days when I used to wonder how an aeroplane flies, how a bicycle can balance and run on two wheels and many more. I loved Moto GP and I have always wondered how the motorcycles on two wheels travel at such high speeds with good stability. This was the beginning of my interest in Fluid Dynamics which invoked me to do a vast research on the internet on F1 cars, super bike dynamics and Aircraft structures. A good interest in Physics and Mathematics in the school days along with the intent to learn fluid dynamics made it quite easy for me to choose Mechanical Engineering as my major subject of study after High School graduation. These are a few of the major reasons for my interest in pursuing a master’s in Mechanical Engineering from your …show more content…

I finally chose Dr. A. Rajendra Prasad who is the Head of Mechanical department as well as Dean R&D of my college to guide me in my final year project. My project entitled “Latent Heat Energy Storage Enhancement in Domestic Solar Water Heater” was an integration of Clean Energy (Solar Thermal), Heat transfer and Fluid Dynamic Study which showed an increase in 20% efficiency of the existing stock solar heaters. The authenticity in the final year thesis won me the first prize in the college level project display for final year students. Apart from that, it also won the first place in an “All India Student level Innovative projects on Renewable Energy” organised by Tamil Nadu Energy Development Agency (TEDA) and was recognised by the Government of Tamil Nadu (India). It was also awarded with a cash prize of Rs. 10,000 along with a trophy of honour due to the remarkable innovation in the project. If one would ask me what my achievement as a Mechanical Engineer is, I would point out at my final year project with
