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.

1,850 missing mobile phones recovered as Delhi Police focusses on victim-centric policing
New Delhi (PTI): Delhi Police has recovered 1,850 stolen and lost mobile phones worth around Rs 4 crore in past 40 days under "Mission Reconnect", an initiative aimed at returning phones to their rightful owners in outernorth Delhi, an official said on Saturday.
The recovered phones were traced from different parts of the country, including remote areas, through technical surveillance and sustained field operations, police said, adding that the devices were handed over to their owners during a programme at the Sports Ground, New Police Lines, Kingsway Camp.
The initiative focused on a victim-centric approach and aimed at strengthening public trust through proactive policing and coordinated efforts across states, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Outernorth) Hareshwar Swami said.
As part of the programme, teams performed 'nukkad nataks' and screened awareness videos on cybercrime, drug abuse prevention, and senior citizen safety, sensitising the public about digital frauds and safety measures, officials said.
The initiative combines technology, investigation and community participation to ensure recovery of lost property and reconnect citizens with their valuables, they added.
