BIT Hosts technical session on recent advances in Aerospace Engineering
Mangaluru: The Department of Mechanical Engineering at Bearys Institute of Technology (BIT), in association with the IEEE Mangalore Subsection and BIT IEEE Student Branch, organised a technical session on Recent Advances in Aerospace Engineering. The event was coordinated by Dr. Imran Mokashi, Department of Mechanical Engineering, BIT.
The resource person, Dr. S. A. Khan, from the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), delivered a lecture highlighting the significance of aerospace fundamentals and their role in modern technological advancements.
Dr. Khan began the session by explaining Mach number and flight regimes, classifying aircraft performance into subsonic, supersonic, and hypersonic ranges, and discussing their direct implications on aircraft design. He elaborated on the governing equations of fluid flow, such as Euler’s Equation, Froude Number, and the conservation principles of mass, momentum, and energy, accompanied by mathematical formulations.
The talk further covered flow characteristics, where Dr. Khan differentiated compressible and incompressible flow, rotational and irrotational flow, and analyzed velocity gradients with practical relevance to aerospace design. He also provided a detailed overview of vibrations in aerospace systems, including free, forced, damped, and undamped vibrations, and the critical phenomenon of resonance, underlining their importance in aircraft structural safety and aeroelastic stability.
In conclusion, Dr. Khan emphasized that a strong foundation in fluid dynamics, conservation laws, and vibration analysis is crucial for fostering innovation in aerospace engineering. The session successfully connected theoretical concepts with real-world aerospace applications, inspiring students and faculty to explore advanced research in the field.

Commission agent's licence suspended in Meerut for storing veggies in toilet
Meerut (UP) (PTI): The market administration in Meerut has suspended the licence of a commission agent or ‘arhtiya’ for storing vegetables inside a defunct toilet at the Mawana Naveen Sabzi Mandi in the city, officials said on Sunday.
The action followed after a video went viral showing vegetables, including tomato, ladyfinger, green chilli, coriander, mint and bottle gourd – packed in polythene bags inside an unused toilet on the market premises.
The secretary of the Mandi committee, Arjun Singh, told PTI that the toilet had been out of use for a long time due to being clogged.
“Abhay Kumar, the proprietor of Pradhan Trading Company, stored leftover vegetables there without permission. Within two hours of receiving information on May 15, a team from the Mandi committee reached the spot, seized about one quintal of vegetables, and buried them in a pit,” Singh said.
A notice was issued to Abhay Kumar, but since no satisfactory response was received, his licence has been suspended, he added.
According to officials, toilets in the market complex meant for use by farmers, commission agents and customers were allegedly being used as storerooms.
Following the incident, SDM Santosh Kumar Singh has sought an explanation from the Mandi committee secretary.
Strict action would be taken against those found guilty after an inquiry report is received, the SDM said.
