I must admit that my interest for thermal science was not first aroused from academic textbook. From my younger days, I was very enthusiastic about cars. I was curious to know what happens inside the engine that can provide the car so much power to run on, or how an engine remains cool after burning so much fuel! During my high school days, one day when I was surfing the internet, I found a video about internal combustion engine and its different systems. I came to know about Otto Cycle - how an engine transforms chemical energy into mechanical through combustion. I also learned about the engine cooling system through which overheating is prevented. That was the first time when my curiosity for thermal science started to grow. Since then, I realized this was something I would like to further increase my knowledge upon.
When I got chance to admit to the undergraduate program at Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), I decided to join the Mechanical Engineering department as it would give me the opportunity to gain the basic knowledge in diverse fields such as energy, solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermal science, etc. To facilitate my interest, I gave attention to courses on Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer, Internal Combustion Engine, etc. which enhanced my understanding of thermal science. I also took four fluid …show more content…

I did an energy saving project there in which I designed a new coil drying system utilizing the exhaust heat of the gas generator. Factory manager, along with other professional engineers, applauded my project presentation which would reduce their production cost after implementation. I have also worked on a design to aid accessibility of people who use wheelchairs in public transport for a competition in which my team successfully had reached the semi-final which has helped my designing
