Intro

Sudipto Mazumder

I’m Sudipto Mazumder, a Cum Laude mechanical engineering graduate from Stony Brook University with a strong focus on precision design and thermal systems. As a Thermal Engineer in NASA's L'SPACE Mission Concept Academy, I designed a spacecraft’s thermal subsystem, combining creativity with technical expertise. My coursework in heat transfer and machine design has given me a robust foundation for tackling complex engineering challenges—bridging theory and real-world application to drive innovative solutions.

I am passionate about all facets of mechanical engineering, extending beyond thermal system design. My manufacturing internship at Stony Brook University gave me hands-on experience producing and drafting precision parts for faculty and senior design teams. Through various hands-on projects, I have also developed familiarity with robotics and automation, working with robotic systems and automated solutions. This multidisciplinary background has equipped me with a versatile skill set that spans mechanical design, thermal analysis, control systems, and robotics. This multidisciplinary approach allows me to tackle complex challenges and across multiple domains of engineering.

Bio

I am a motivated mechanical engineering student with a strong enthusiasm for learning new skills and technologies. I thrive in team environments and am always eager to adapt to new challenges, supporting my peers and contributing to collaborative projects. My curiosity and willingness to embrace new ideas drive me to continuously grow and add value wherever I work.

My Projects (Page 1 of 6)

Throughout my four years at Stony Brook University, I have endeavored in various projects in order to hone my skills. These projects vary from personal projects to class projects. Here are some of them:

Autonomous Valve Tester

Autonomous Valve Tester - Main View

Senior design project in collaboration with Belimo Aircontrols, automating the critical angle test for ball valves.

Mechanical Design and Construction

This valve tester fixture was mechanically designed to minimize human interaction in order to conduct the critical angle test autonomously. The critical angle test measures the angle at which the valve stem of a ball valve has to rotate before 0.5 mL/min of water flow rate is detected through the valve. Since Belimo already had their own testing frame rack, the design had to be as lightweight and corrosion resistant as possible, as the components would be interacting with water while simultaneously fitting within a constrained space, as shown in the setup above.

The components of the subassembly were selected in order to automate the tedious process of measuring angles of the valves. The actuator chosen was of the model GRCX24-MFT and was provided to us by Belimo. Using this actuator makes our design modular as it allows for future testing for Characterized Control Valves (CCV) of up to 2 1/2 inches in diameter, although our current test is for 1/2 inch CCV's. We also have a A50H-2048-HZCP9-RL2 fully hollow incremental encoder in order to measure our leakage angle. Finally, we have a Bronkhorst L23 flowmeter in order to detect the 0.5 mL/min flow rate through the valve.

FEA (Finite Element Analysis)

FEA was performed on the subassembly to ensure the framing of the subassembly would be structurally sufficient as it would be held horizontally. FEA was performed on instrumental parts such as the top and bottom frame plates, as well as the encoder frame plates to ensure that the system would be compact. The images shown are displacement results showining minimal displacement as a result of the loads exerted on them, meaning our subassembly is structurlly sound.

Electrical and Software Integration

The way I devloped our control systems was to first calibrate everything, and then start the water flow. The actuator, which is mechanically connected to the valve stem of the ball valve, starts off fully shut off, and then it'd rotate incrementally by 0.5 degrees. As the actuator rotates by the said amount, the encoder is recording the measurements to verify the angle of the protractor and the actuator (as a means of redundancy). This process continues until the flowmeter detects a flow rate of at least 0.5 mL/min, at which at that point, the valve is said to be leaking. The program stops, and the final angle measurements are recorded through LabVIEW.
