TO My Parents and Guide Acknowledgements

It is my pleasure to acknowledge the people (friends and lab-mates) who are all involved in my project work. I would like to offer my obeisances unto my astute guide Dr. D. R. Mahapatra for investing his colossal amount of time, commitment, and involvement during the course of my project. He is full of beans and determined in the research area that was inspiring and added a lot of oomph to me in completing the assigned work. Simply, he made me to carve out a niche for myself as a true student with his plethora of ideas to sort out the problems. At the same time he left a few things out to my volition that whetted my appetite for doing this project. And, it is needless to say, it is apposite to mention my parents, without whose inexorable support and encouragement, I would not have been here. I offer my sincere respects to them. Next, I would like to express my deep sense of gratitude to all of my friends for their invaluable suggestions invariably right through the project. I also thank to the staff of the workshop helping me out preparing the experimental setup. Financial support from the Aeronautical Research and Development Board (ARDB) is thankfully acknowledged. i Publication from this wor
