Personal Statement: Choosing A Career In Mechanical Engineering

980 Words4 Pages

Choosing a career path is the most difficult choice that I had to make ever. My parents certainly didn’t make the decision easier by giving me freedom to choose any path I wish. It is the time that I spent with a cousin of mine that made the decision easier. I used to help him with his work, making different engineering projects during his Mechanical Engineering graduation. I was at elementary school back then. Though I understood very little of the work, but it was enough to make me interested in Mechanical Engineering.
Being a huge fan of Mathematics and Physics and the interest for engineering made me choose science majors in my high school and eventually engineering as a career. I took a tour of my university before my admission. The windmills …show more content…

During my senior year, I performed a computational study of micro-channel heat exchanger and it gave me a thorough foundation of knowledge in micro-fluidics. I have gained knowledge of the factors affecting micro-channel flow and heat transfer like Knudson number, characteristic length, Prandtl number etc. I have three conference papers reflecting my study on micro-channel. Currently, I am conducting my M.Sc. thesis work on nano-fluids. The research involves studying the effects of nano-particle dimensions and volume percentages on convective heat transfer coefficients of nano-fluids. I am conducting the study numerically with a self developed code in FVM using MATLAB. I also plan to study the flow of nano-fluids in finned circular pipes. This thesis work is helping me gain a better understanding of Fluid Mechanics, Heat Transfer and the FVM …show more content…

I have taken practical courses mostly in Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer area and it inevitably increased my knowledge of the two. These practical courses helped me with a better understanding of the test setups and procedures. I have also conducted practical courses on numerical analysis, CAD drawing, Mechanical Engineering hand drawing etc. Every two year, my department organizes a conference called “International Conference on Mechanical Engineering (ICME)”, which is a great source of knowledge and information of the studies and researches going on around the world. There is also a division called “Bureau of Research, Testing and Consultation (BRTC)”; which has enabled me with different practical problems and their test

    Von Mises [3] states that “the forces due to viscosity appear as products of μ and expressions that have the dimensions area times (velocity / length)”. By further investigation, the mathematical analysis of these principles leads to a system of partial derivatives known as the Navier-Stokes equations. These equations are used to describe fluid flow and can be used to solve specific dynamic fluid flow cases. These include; velocities, pressure, temperature, density and can also be used to solve viscous problems of a dynamic fluid flow problems. These partial derivative equations relating to the specific variables are extremely complex and time-consuming to
