“I know Pranav for more than last 5 years and I am really impressed by his persistence, and willingness to add knowledge and skills to his technical competency. He is excellent in Mechanical Design, Product Development, and Manufacturing. I mentored him during his senior Design project, where he led a team of 5 students to design an economical, ergonomic, and compact furniture for rural schools in India. The project was good tool not only from the community service view-point but also to promote education amongst the deprived ones. He also did one course during his junior year on Computer Aided Design (CAD) with me, where he scored the excellent grade (A+) and was among the top 3 students in the class of 50. He designed spur gear tooth profile using Bézier curves and modeled them by C++ and Matlab. On interpersonal skills, I always found him to be soft natured person, easy to talk to and a good team person. The testimony to which is the various events he organized in the Institute. His communication skills are also excellent. I strongly recommend him as a motivated and competent Mechanical Engineer having all the necessary skill sets to be successful in life.”

Removing biofilm using bubbles
APS Division of Fluid Dynamics (Fall) 2017
Scrubbing dynamics of a bubble impacting a tilted wall has been studied through a combination of experimental observations and computational validation. We experimentally characterize the impact and slide of a single bubble against a solid substrate. A force balance that includes buoyancy, hydrodynamic inertia & drag, bubble deformation & rotation, and film force has been modeled numerically at different tilted angles. We found that experimental observations were in good agreement with results…
Scrubbing dynamics of a bubble impacting a tilted wall has been studied through a combination of experimental observations and computational validation. We experimentally characterize the impact and slide of a single bubble against a solid substrate. A force balance that includes buoyancy, hydrodynamic inertia & drag, bubble deformation & rotation, and film force has been modeled numerically at different tilted angles. We found that experimental observations were in good agreement with results from the computational model. Moreover, shear (or scrubbing) force on the wall has been calculated and compared with bacterium adhesion forces in order to evaluate the potential of a bubble-impacting method for removing biofilm from different surfaces.
