@praveenkmishra
I build thermal and energy-efficiency systems that improve cleantech and aviation outcomes.
What I'm looking for
I've delivered thermal engineering and product ownership for Takachar's waste-heat-driven biomass dryer integrated with the T1000 biochar reactor. I designed, modeled, and field-validated a 500 kg/hr flat-bed dryer while using up to 70% waste heat to improve efficiency and project viability.
I worked with clients in the US, Canada, Kenya, and the Philippines to translate operational requirements into green-infrastructure solutions. My technical sales support contributed to four integrated reactor-dryer opportunities valued at approximately USD 680,000–880,000.
At Alliance Air, I analyzed PW127 engine lifecycle and thermodynamic data, increasing thermal efficiency by 5.54% and saving approximately USD 550,000 in fuel consumption. I also developed a tool-rental strategy that avoided approximately USD 750,000 in capital expenditure while supporting airworthiness and environmental compliance.
My background also includes aviation asset-management consulting at Laminaar Aviation Infotech and engine analytics at CYIENT for Pratt & Whitney programs. I bring thermal engineering, feasibility analysis, risk assessment, and data-driven delivery to cleantech and aviation infrastructure work.
