PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Temperature Profile of a Heated Plate in SolidWorks Summer 2013

Designed a flat plate as a defined surface with boundary conditions and a cylindrical rod to

represent various heat sources in order to verify the tests of experiment of a Ph.D. student

studying the critical temperatures when smoke becomes poisonous.

SolidWorks simulation is used to do the theoretically study of the temperatu re distribution on the

heated plate to understand the experimental result of heated plate.

Highlighted importance of different material properties in heat conductance with varying heat

source. Moreover, analyzed the significance of power input, material type, and geometry of the

heat source on the temperature distribution.

Due to the low conductivity of the initial stainless steel plate, a copper heat source was utilized due

to lack of conductance. Calibration and needed assessment warranted a plate source with high

conductance withstanding temperatures up to 40 watts.

Further analysis of power distribution warranted the separation of iterating through a four piece

dissection of the cylindrical rod yielding varying temperature distribution.

Results demonstrated that varying the power input was the most importance factor in changing the

temperature distribution, although it was notable that as the diameter increased, the sensitivity to

the increase in temperature was lower.

DESIGN PROJECT

Variable Temperature Diagnostic Device Spring 2011

Designed and fabricated a variable heating device to perform skin diagnostics of temperature

activated Urticaria on patients.

Assembled a circuit board to design the transfer of heat sinks and device components including

Peltier cooling and thermocouples in 2D and 3D models in AutoCAD and SolidWorks to analyze the

prefabrication functionality of the device.

Performed theoretical thermal engineering analysis and calculations to select suitable heat sinks.

Collaborate with parts supplies for materials protot yping and negotiate bulk pricing for projected

production of mass consumable components.
