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.

Bengaluru: Four arrested for housebreaking, threats, extortion; fake PSI among accused
Bengaluru: Vidyaranyapura police have arrested four persons, including a man posing as a Police Sub-Inspector (PSI), for allegedly breaking into a house, threatening the occupants, and extorting money while wearing police uniforms.
The arrested accused have been identified as Mallikarjuna, Pramod, Vinay, and Hrithik.
Police said the accused had hatched a plan to pose as police personnel, conduct fake raids, and extort money from residents by intimidation.

According to the police, Mallikarjuna had failed the PSI examination twice and later falsely projected himself as a PSI. He allegedly conducted photo shoots in his hometown, Siraguppa, wearing a police uniform, baton, cap, and shoes, claiming to be serving as a PSI in Bengaluru.
On December 7, the four accused allegedly went to the house of Naveen in the Vidyaranyapura limits, threatened him with a stick and an iron rod, and claimed they had information that he was selling ganja. Under the pretext of searching, they allegedly extorted ₹87,000 through bank transfer, ₹53,000 in cash kept in the house, and ₹2,000 from his wallet.
Following Naveen’s complaint, Vidyaranyapura police registered a case and launched an operation, leading to the arrest of all four accused. Police have seized ₹45,000 in cash and the car used to commit the crime.
Further investigation is underway.
