Projects
Heat Exchanger Test Rig
Designer/Builder
The main purpose of this project is to get people to appriciate heat exchangers and have a better understanding of the working principals
Liquid Cooled Rocket Engine
Thermal management lead
Capstone project was to design and manufacture a liquid cooled rocket engine. Due to safety reasons the cooling system was water based and takes advantage of the latent heat of vaporization.
Studies of Oval Tube and Fin Heat exchanger
Undergraduate Research
Using CFD to study the flow and overall heat transfer with varying the arrangement of the oval tubes compared to round tubes.
Subcooler design
Intern
Designing a subcooler that is integrated into the receiver, which is an abstract design. This company is one of the suppliers of heat exchangers to MAERSK Starcool.
Experiences
Power Plant Tours
Summary
Undergraduate energy track students had tours at which we were shown around the plant by one of the engineers. Great experience to see how we get out power and the complexity of the power grid.

Heat Exchanger Manufacturing
Manufacturing Plant (Qingdao, China)
During the internship a trip was offered to work a month in China at the manufacturing plant. This went through understanding the processes that goes on from raw sheet metal to the finished product.
