Thermal/Fluids Analysis Engineer

Thermodynamic and Fluid Dynamic analyses including CFD were done on both structural and electronic components of Aircraft, Missiles, Gas Turbines, and Spacecraft as required. The Thermodynamic analyses were both steady-state and transient and the Fluid Dynamic analyses were both Compressible and Incompressible analyses of internal and external flows. The results of all analyses were reported in the manner prescribed for the analysis.

Secret Clearance, EIT received from Illinois, Member of AIAA and ASME

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Consulting Engineer Gurley Precision Instruments 5/12–Present

Analysis of temperature gradients in electronics printed circuit boards for use in a satellite. These analyses were done in MathCAD and Excel.

Contract Engineer ULA 3/11–9/11

Thermal analysis of Atlas V and Delta IV booster TPS using SINDA. These analyses were principally used to verify that the required temperatures and temperature gradients were maintained to insure structural integrity of the booster sections.

Fluid analysis of Atlas V/Centaur Liquid Hydrogen venting using SINDA/FLUINT and SINAPS. This analysis was created in SINAPS and used to calculate the thrust generated by venting LH2.

Contract Engineer Boeing 2008–2009

Design and analysis of ECS system for HH47 CSAR-x helicopter. These analyses were principally aimed at maintaining required temperatures in the Patient Treatment Area and the cockpit while at the same time maintaining temperatures in the electronics and avionics bays/pods to prevent overheating of electronic equipment.

Contract Engineer Northrop Grumman 2007–2007

Analysis of Electronics racks using CFdesign to verify sufficient cooling air is provided to all LRU’s on the rack.

Contract Engineer GE MRA Systems 2004–2007

Design and analysis of the Nacelle for the GE CF34-10A commercial aircraft engine. Analyses included calculating air and structural temperatures in the Nacelle. Additionally, designed a NACA scoop that will be used to ventilate the fan compartment. This design required fluid analysis and the writing of extensive FORTRAN code to insure that the requisite airflow will be provided for all flight conditions.
