Pramath Hosakote Srikanth

System design of Hydrogen Fuel cell systems and hybrid power train systems. System design, simulation, analysis and FMEA.

Working on control of motors through power electronics and design of PCBs, with the help of Altium and LTSpice. Made modifications for optimizing functionality. Helped in PCB design, testing; including Function Unit testing, thermal resistance testing etc.

Worked on thermal management of electric motors. Created a unique modular thermal model to predict temperature distribution in an electric motor under different conditions. Used a combination of MATLAB Simscape and MS Office Programs to create a user friendly interface to analyze motor thermal conditions under different specifications and conditions. Lumped parameter analysis used to predict the active temperature in an electric motor.

Working at the Chair of Energy Systems at TUM, on heat transfer in fluidized beds with immersed tube bundles, to check the influence of operating parameters.

Designed an industrial 6-Axis robotic arm using SolidWorks and fabricated it using additive manufacturing. Conducted a stress analysis as well as a thermal analysis upon it as part of an interdisciplinary research project.

Conducted CFD analysis and heat transfer modelling of falling liquid films exchanging heat with rising gas flows in constricted channels with the help of ANSYS CFX. This was used in a heat exchanger for an innovative long-term energy storage model.

Specialization in Thermo - Fluids Engineering
