· Authored and presented a design report to ABET creditors that outlines recommendations and considers environmental, safety, and social implications of the selected solution
· Invited to present the project in the 2010 Capstone Design Conference
Junior Design Project · Spring 2009
· Designed and built a small scale heat exchanger experiment to demonstrate fundamental heat transfer concepts
· Performed multiple experiments, analyzed collected data, and made calculations to determine the flow regime, heat transfer rate, and overall heat transfer coefficient of a tube heat exchanger under different conditions
· Compiled a report of the findings and created a guide documenting the processes
· Presented methods and materials used and final results for evaluation to student judges
Other Engineering Projects
· Worked in a group to size and design a reactor and condenser considering dew point limitations heat exchanger under different conditions
· Created and coded a multi-operation production process through the implementation of multiple numerical techniques
· Led a small team to research and recommend solutions for biorefinery membrane separation modules in the production of pure ethanol
· Designed a toluene hydro-dealkylation process to produce pure benzene that accounted for the effect of different recycle ratios on equipment size
