Products and Technologies Developed

+ - LES Solver Click to collapse
Description: A LES solver has been developed and transferred to ADA to study the flow structures and associated acoustics pertaining to the unmanned air vehicle.
+ - Three-pad foil air bearing Click to collapse
Description: A three-pad foil air bearing has been developed and designed as per the requirements of HAL for the air cycle machines in a air craft. An analysis of fluid flow and heat transfer has been carried out for the load bearing capacity and the technology was transferred to HAL. It was later fabricated and successfully tested in HAL.
+ - Cyclone separator Click to collapse
Description: A cyclone separator as an antipollution device had been designed and installed in site to protect a Re-rolling Mill and Galvanizing Plant in Howrah District and SPM monitored was below the permissible level of the Government norms. 4.

Description: MHMIC have been traditionally manufactured using lithographic techniques. These involve use of several chemicals and wet processing. Some manufacturers (Polygrames Research Center, for example) have also used lasers to fabricate MHMICs, through a direct write process that does not have a high throughput. We are exploring the use of excimer laser through mask projection techniques for fabrication of thin film MHMICs. It has been demonstrated that it is possible to keep the size of the ablated region close to the design and to obtain clean ablation at the edges. Printing (by removal of metal film) of passive elements is, thus, possible by using excimer laser.
