PROGRAM SPECIFIC OUTCOMES (PSOs)

Graduates of B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering Programme shall be able to

1. Structural Design and Optimization: PSO can be utilized to optimize the design of mechanical structures such as aircraft components, automotive parts, and machinery. By defining design variables such as material properties, dimensions, and geometries, PSO algorithms can search for the optimal configuration that minimizes weight, maximizes strength, or meets specific performance requirements while satisfying constraints such as stress limits or manufacturing limitations. PSO-based structural optimization techniques enable engineers to design lightweight and efficient structures with improved performance and reliability.

2. Robotics and Control Systems: PSO can play a crucial role in optimizing the performance of robotic systems and control algorithms. In robotics, PSO algorithms can optimize robot trajectories, manipulator configurations, and control parameters to improve task efficiency, accuracy, and energy consumption. PSO can also be applied to optimize control strategies for dynamic systems, such as PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) controllers or adaptive control algorithms, to achieve desired system responses and stability. By employing PSO-based optimization techniques, engineers can enhance the performance and autonomy of robotic systems in various applications, including manufacturing, automation, and unmanned vehicles.

3. Heat Exchanger Design and Optimization: PSO can be used to optimize the design and performance of heat exchangers in thermal systems. Heat exchangers are crucial components in various engineering systems such as HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems, refrigeration units, and power plants. PSO algorithms can optimize heat exchanger geometries, flow configurations, and operating parameters to maximize heat transfer efficiency, minimize pressure drop, and reduce energy consumption. PSO-based optimization techniques enable engineers to design cost-effective and energy-efficient heat exchangers tailored to specific applications and operating conditions.
