International aerospace expert presents innovative research on passive control with ribs
Mangaluru: Dr. SA Khan, an aerospace engineering expert from IIUM Malaysia, visited the BIT National Seminar Hall for an exciting event. Sponsored by IEEE Mangalore Subsection and the Institution’s Innovation Council (IIC), Dr. Khan gave a talk on "Numerical and Experimental Study of Passive Control in the Form of Ribs at Sonic and Supersonic Mach Numbers with the Application of Neural Networks."
Dr. Vasanth Kumar, Head of the Mechanical Engineering Department, welcomed Dr. Khan warmly.
The focus of the event was on aerospace engineering and using ribs for passive control at different speeds, from sonic to supersonic. Dr. Khan's presentation was packed with insights from his extensive experiments. He explored how ribs of different sizes - 6 mm, 8 mm, and 10 mm - placed in various positions in the ducts, like 1D, 2D, 3D, and 4D, affected things.
The event kicked off at 10:30 AM on September 22, 2023. The audience was diverse, with academics, researchers, and students all eager to dive into aerospace engineering and fluid mechanics. Dr. Khan's presentation was a hit, showcasing his deep knowledge and innovative ideas that have made him famous worldwide.
What made Dr. Khan's research stand out was his use of neural networks to understand passive control better in aerospace engineering. This added a cutting-edge twist, catching the attention of academics and industry experts alike.
BIT thanked Dr. SA Khan for his incredible contribution. The event was coordinated by Dr. Imran Mokashi from the Mechanical Engineering Department, ensuring it ran smoothly and allowed for meaningful discussions.

Sanjay Raut demands re-election, alleges irregularities in EVMs during Maharashtra polls
Mumbai, Nov 25: Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut on Monday demanded a re-election in Maharashtra using ballot papers, claiming there were irregularities with the electronic voting machines (EVMs).
Talking to reporters, Raut alleged several complaints about EVMs malfunctioning and questioned the integrity of the recently held elections.
The BJP-led Mahayuti won 230 out of 288 seats in the assembly elections, while the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi managed 46 seats, with Shiv Sena (UBT) winning just 20 out of 95 seats it contested.
"We have received nearly 450 complaints regarding EVMs. Despite raising objections repeatedly, no action has been taken on these issues. How can we say these elections were conducted fairly? Hence, I demand that the results be set aside and elections be held again using ballot papers," Raut said.
Citing some instances, he said a candidate in Nashik reportedly received only four votes despite having 65 votes from his family, while in Dombivli, discrepancies were found in EVM tallies, and election officials refused to acknowledge the objections.
The Sena (UBT) leader also questioned the credibility of the landslide victories of some candidates, saying, "What revolutionary work have they done to receive more than 1.5 lakh votes? Even leaders who recently switched parties have become MLAs. This raises suspicions. For the first time, a senior leader like Sharad Pawar has expressed doubts about EVMs, which cannot be ignored."
Asked about the MVA's poor performance in the elections, Raut rejected the idea of blaming a single individual.
"We fought as a united MVA. Even a leader like Sharad Pawar, who commands immense respect in Maharashtra, faced defeat. This shows that we need to analyse the reasons behind the failure. One of the reasons is EVM irregularities and the misuse of the system, unconstitutional practices, and even judicial decisions left unresolved by Justice Chandrachud," he said.
Raut stressed that though internal differences might have existed within the MVA, the failure was collective.
He also accused the Mahayuti of conducting the elections in an unfair manner.
"I cannot call the elections fair given the numerous reports of discrepancies in EVMs, mismatched numbers, and vote irregularities across the state," Raut said.
