FLUID MECHANICS PROJECT<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It is not often that full-scale engineering projects are attempted in undergraduate studies. While taking fluid mechanics, I along with two other engineering students were tasked with designing a complete cooling system for a Continental manufacturing plant, from reception of fresh coolant to disposal.<\/p>\n

This project taught me to adapt to two very important principles: 1) how to work with a team with differing interests and solutions to problems and 2) how to design for manufacturing and environmental conditions with a budget in mind. Although this project was eventually not utilized for the real plant, the methodology is identical to what one would use when conceptualizing a fluids system of this scale from scratch.<\/p>\n

I am very proud of the solution accomplished by myself and my two peers; this project can be viewed via the link below. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

HEAT TRANSFER PROJECT<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I along with another peer were tasked with developing a shell and tube heat exchanger for Newport News Shipbuilding to cool liquid ammonia with liquid water. An engineering process was utilized to research a solution in agreement with their initial design constraints. Short-term considerations such as cost, manufacturability, and environmental aspects, were all considered. Future circumstances such as expected maintenance schedules and product lifespan were also assessed into our decision making. The end result was a single shell, four-pass shell-and-tube heat exchanger design that cools liquid ammonia in copper-nickel alloy tubes by flowing water inside a galvanized steel shell.<\/p>\n

This project can be viewed via the links below. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
