Mechanical Engineering Experience

APOP, Senior Design Project, 2017-2018:

● The Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) tasked the Aerospace propulsion outreach program (APOP) team to create a solution to heating a cold soaked jet (-60 C).

● The solution delivered was to use resistive heating strips and multiple well-insulated batteries in series to power the whole system.

● This project was experimentally driven so it was a great practical learning experience. Heat Exchanger Design, Heat Transfer course, Spring 2017:

● A 3D printed cross flow heat exchanger with a hot inlet temperature of 60 C and cold temperature of 0C.

● Since the ABS plastic is more of an insulator than a conductor; a copper tube was used for hot flow and the plastic carried the cold flow.

● Baffles added for increased turbulence increased the rate of heat transfer. The angle of baffles were an important factor in the efficiency of the heat exchangers. DC motor design, Motor Design Project, Summer 2020

● A axially laminated permanent magnet DC motor was designed from scratch on solidworks software. The motor had two poles and the winding was around the rotor since the stator was made up of two permanent magnets (N30 grade). The commutator ring was designed to be the standard split ring design.

● The shaft material was selected to be mild steel and stress analysis was used to demonstrate the life of the shaft. The bearings were selected to be roller bearings. The L10 equation was used to estimate the life of the bearing. Other design choices were made with simplistic design in mind. Off-Grid Solar Power Design, Solar Panel Project, Spring 2020:

● An off-grid solar power system was designed from scratch. The off-grid system has to power all the electronic appliances of the household -through both summer and winter. So all loads and their surge characteristics need to be accounted for when planning and designing an off-grid system.

● The angle of sunlight, effect of temperature on the wiring length, cloud cover, shading, etc. are some of the many other factors that need to be accounted for when sizing the off-grid system. Components such as the battery banks, wiring, the inverter etc. need some calculations before part selection.

Employment Analysis, Data Analysis Project, Fall 2019:

● The overall employment distribution and the various factors that impact employment in the state of washington were analysed using the R software. This data analysis project required importing and cleaning of data from the census bureau for further analysis. For example, the size of the STEM sector in the state and its impacts on job creation. Airfoil Design, Formula SAE, Fall 2013:

● ‘Global formula racing’ builds race cars for formula SAE events in Europe and North America. The aerodynamics team designed carbon fiber airfoil to generate down force or negative lift.

● The combustion car won overall 1st position in Michigan, Germany, Spain, and Austria. Heat Shield Design, Material Selection Course, Spring 2017:

● Material selection design for an atmospheric reentry. The design required multiple extreme properties from the material. So a combination of three materials were chosen.

● A ceramic for the exterior for structural integrity, a foam insert for insulation in the middle and finally a thermal energy storage material to capitalize on the excessive temperature difference. Maze Generation App, Search Algorithm, Fall 2017:

● Android app that generates and solves mazes using a randomized depth-first search and recursive backtracking algorithm written in python. Heat sink Experiment, Thermal Fluids Lab course, Fall 2017:

● Tested different shaped heat sinks using third printed aluminum on steel.

● Efficiency of heat transfer is more dependent on flow resistance and fin length than shape of the heat sink.

Robotics club, FIRST Robotics Competition, 2012-2013:

● Designed and built a robot that shot basketballs; first autonomously then via remote control.

● Won 1st position in state and competed on a national level. Additional Experience

● Myrio Experiments [C Lang],Embedded Computing in Electromechanical System, Spring 2020

● Robot OS Design and Simulations [ROS], Robot Design Minicourse, Spring 2020

● Robot Design, Electrical fundamentals course, Fall 2016

● Arduino based electromechanical projects, Electrical fundamentals course II, Fall 2016
