EXPERIENCE

Post-processing Tar Sand

January 2013 May 2013

Senior Project

Experimentally verified the thermal and physical properties of the sample dry sands, including dynamic viscosity, heating

capacity, thermal conductivity, and density. Assisted in machining and building up experiment devices

Independently simulated every heat-based process of toxic residuals removal using CFD, including idea generation, software

operation, and results analysis.

Experimentally verified the operating characteristics of the device. A simplified sand treatment device was built and operated

in the same conditions specified in computational simulations. Results were validated in the final proposed simulation.

HVAC System Design for a Commercial Building

March 2013 May 2013

Final project of “HVAC System Design”

Determined the mechanical system for a commercial building, including heating and cooling load using TraneTRACE®. Diffusers,

piping and duct works were laid out using AutoCAD.

Selected proper thermal system and devices from the market to achieve design requirement in a cost effective manner.

Car Seat Tray Table Design

January 2012 May 2013

Final project of “Design and Manufacturing II”

Assisted in creating the drafted four-bars linkage model by Creo

Independently conducted the calculation of Graphical Synthesis, Dyad Analysis, Grashof’s Determination with MathLab value,

Range of Motion Analysis, Mechanical Advantage Analysis.

Achieved 97 out of 100 points for the project

RPM VS T_exhaust June 2012 August 2012

Final project of “Basic Mechanical Measurements Laboratory”

Determined the relationship between a vehicle’s engine RPM with the temperature of the exhaust gas measured by thermistor

Used LabVIEW and National Instruments USB-6008 for data acquisition. Independently conducted wirings and data analysis
