Piston
This project was a part of my EGR 386 course during the spring semester of 2015. The project consisted machining two stock pieces of aluminum into a piston and a connecting rod. In order to complete the project, advanced knowledge of the HAAS (CNC) mill as well as Solidworks (CAD) was necessary to model the part. The CAM (HSM Works) extension of Solidworks was used to simulate and generate the G-code necessary to machine the part. A detailed operation sheet was generated to manage the operations needed to machine the part and to assure that it was made with in the specified dimensions
Fluid Removal Process
In my Fluid Mechanics Class, my instructor and former NASA engineer Pavlos Mikelides, tasked my team with finding a fast and effective way to remove coolant fluid from the surface of a computer chip. The team used fluid mechanics to develop theorems and, using appropriate assumptions, was able to use the Naiver-Stokes equations as well as Solidworks (CAD), with the addition of HSM Works (CAM add-on to SolidWorks), to generate the G-CODE needed. The prototype was machined out of aluminum and acrylic, and then put into testing where it yielded data that was then used to modify the theoretical model. Additional Projects – Lego Mindstorms, Multimeter, Model Rocket, MATLAB Double Pendulum Final. References

Projects
Honeywell Heat Exchanger
My senior Capstone project being is conducted in conjunction with Honeywell. The team’s Honeywell advisor, Todd Langston, is working together with the ASU team to design, improve, and analyze a heat exchanger that his company is building. The team is responsible for generating flow simulations using CAD, fabrication of the fixture, coding multiple sensors, and calculating thermodynamic properties and organize and manage the progress (Liquid Planner). The project is in its final stage, testing using the sensors incorporated as well as different scuppers that the team designed and 3-D printed. Data is to be collected and cross referenced with the theoretical data as well as to yield efficiencies of the different components. The goal of the experiment is to remove liquid water from steam in the flow that travels through the heat exchanger.
