Abdus
Suttar Khan (c. 1941 – 31 January 2008) was a Bangladeshi researcher. He looked
into on aviation for four decades with NASA, United Technology, and Alstom, a
French power age organization. Khan designed more than forty distinctive
combinations for business application in space transports, fly motors, prepare
motors and mechanical gas turbines.
Khan
was conceived in Khagatua town, PS Nabinagar, Brahmanbaria District, British
India (now in Bangladesh). He went to Ratanpur High School and did his halfway
at Comilla Victoria College. Subsequent to graduating at the highest point of
his class from University of Dhaka with a Bachelor of Science in 1962 and
graduate degree in science in 1963, Khan joined the Chemistry division as a
speaker at a similar college. In 1964, he acknowledged a grant to examine in
Oxford University and got his PhD degree in science in 1968. Following his PhD,
Khan came back to the Chemistry branch of DU as a partner teacher and worked
there until 1973. That year, he cleared out Bangladesh to lead examine in the
field of materials building in the United States. Amid
his profession, Khan concocted more than forty diverse combinations. These
compounds are intended for the utilization in the region of high temperature,
for example, cutting edges of gas turbine or fly motors. They are covered with
naturally safe coatings to give insurance from oxidation and additionally
consumption, high temperature (to forestall warm weakness), to give wear
protection and so forth.
These
have been industrially connected in space transports, propelled business fly
motors, and US aviation based armed forces fly motors. These compounds
influenced motors to lighter, which empowered the flying machine to fly
quicker. Khan's work in Switzerland additionally included amalgams, which
expanded the speed of prepare motors and modern gas turbines.
One
of Khan's creations, high quality nickel based composites, were utilized for
expanded fuel productivity in F-15 and F-16 contender motors. In this manner,
these combinations were announced as 21st Century materials for cutting edge
air ship motors in the Advanced Manufacturing and Materials Magazine (Popular
Science, June 1990).
Business
items created :
1. Nano-impetuses
created are utilized for in fuel stream way in cutting edge fly motors for high
mach drive
2. Propelled
scraped spot safe materials created are utilized for expanded fuel efficiencies
of US AF warrior motors (Proprietary to United Technologies' Pratt and Whitney)
3. Consumption
and exhaustion safe coatings kept by cathodic curve process is utilized as a
part of cutting edge business in Pratt and Whiney fly motors (Proprietary to
United Technologies' Pratt and Whitney)
Electrodeposited
wear safe coatings created is utilized as a part of cutting edge GT24/26
mechanical gas turbine motors by Alstom, Switzerland (Proprietary to Alstom,
Switzerland)
Electrodeposited
oxidation-erosion safe coatings utilized by Alstom, Switzerland in Alstom Power
GT-11 modern gas turbine motors (Proprietary to Alstom, Switzerland)
For
Khan's exceptional research and its application in aviation, he got various
esteemed honors from NASA, the US Air Force, United Technology, and Alstom.
Notwithstanding these accomplishments, Khan was a Chartered Scientist of the
Royal Society of Chemistry (Great Britain, 2005), Elected Fellow of the Royal
Society of Chemistry (Great Britain, 1996), and an individual from the American
Society of Metals.
Some
of his imperative honors and acknowledgments include:
The
"1986 United Technologies Special Award" for contributing the
improvement of high quality nickel based compounds utilized for expanded fuel
effectiveness of F-15 and F-16 warrior motors. The Alloy Y was featured in
Advanced Manufacturing and Materials Magazine (AMM Magazine), 4 August 1986.
Along these lines, the Alloy Y was announced as 21st Century Materials for
cutting edge airplane motors.
1. "Joined
Technologies Research Center Award of Excellence" for building up a novel
assembling process for hydrocarbon catalysis for rapid air ship and rocket
drive (1994).
2. The
hydrocarbon fuel impetus innovation created under NASA-Air Force contract was
pronounced as empowering innovation by NASA and US Air Force in 1992.
3. "Pratt
and Whitney's Special" Award for commitment to improvement of assembling
innovation for cutting edge surface insurance coatings for use in stream motors
(1993)
Amid
his resigned life, Khan was directing exploration as a privileged educator at
the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Florida State University. While
investigating there, he endeavored to build up a Center of Excellence in
nanomaterials for examine in the zone of carbon nanotechnology for applications
in materials science and biomaterial innovation.
Other
than his logical accomplishments, Khan was additionally associated with group
benefits in the United States. Khan was the originator of the Bangladeshi
Association of Florida and composed various Asian people group occasions. In
1991, he raised $61,000 for Bangladeshi surge casualties and gave these assets
to the Red Cross. Khan additionally settled a helpful understanding between
Dhaka University and Lamar University in Texas to prepare employees and
graduate understudies of Dhaka University.
