Overview:
The paper reports finite element simulations on two-wheeler rim designs, created in SOLIDWORKS and analyzed in ANSYS. Materials assessed included LM13 aluminum alloy, carbon fiber composites, PEEK, and Tecapeek CF30, under loading scenarios simulating rider and passenger weight. Results show composites reduce stress but increase deformation and strain relative to aluminum.

Conference: 2024 IEEE Wireless Antenna and Microwave Symposium (WAMS), February 2024, pp. 1–5
Overview:
This competition-grade CanSat (dubbed “AathreyaSat”) featured a triple-canopy parachute and LoRa Ra-02 telemetry. Equipped with CO₂ & particulate matter sensors, it successfully flew to ~500 m altitude and relayed air-quality data.

4. Performance of Single Slope Solar Stills: A Comparative Study of Conventional and Modified Stills with Nanofluid and Reflectors

Published In: E3S Web of Conferences, Vol. 552, Article 01023 (July 2024)
Overview:
Experimental testing in Hyderabad compared a conventional single-slope solar still (250 × 250 mm²) with a modified version using cerium oxide nanofluids (0.08% & 0.1 vol) and reflectors. Operating at 1 cm depth and with a cover angle of ~17.45°, the modified still achieved higher cumulative hourly yield in local climate conditions.

5. CFD Modelling and Experimental Validation of a Single‑Slope Passive Solar Still for Efficient Water Desalination

Published In: E3S Web of Conferences, Vol. 552, Article 01084 (July 2024)
Overview:
This study utilized ANSYS Fluent (v19.2) to create a multiphase 2D CFD model of a single-slope solar still. Predicted distillate output (0.0692 kg/m²⋅h) closely matched experimental measurements (0.058 kg/m²⋅h), with a thermal prediction error of just 1.55%. Results confirm strong model accuracy and validate design parameters.

Conclusion 

Dr. Vishwanath Kumar Panangipalli is a strong contender for the Most Reader's Article Award, supported by the lasting impact of his highly cited research, particularly in solar thermal systems and sustainable desalination technologies. His ability to blend experimental insight with computational rigor makes his work both readable and practically influential. While minor improvements in outreach and access could elevate his influence further, his current profile clearly aligns with the intent and merit of this award category.
