Projects

Design Build Fly

·      Design and build a RC aircraft for AIAA/Cessna/Raytheon competition.

·      In charge of systems integration and project management.

·      Drafted aircraft model on SolidWorks

·      Performed Finite Element Analysis (SolidWorks) on the structure to verify its integrity.

·      Document and presented all of the design process into:

·      Proposal, Project Design, Conceptual Design, Critical Design, Preliminary Design, Systems Acceptance

·      Led the team in the integration of the final document to meet aggressive deadlines.

·      Created and updated outlines for team members to use as guidelines for the documentation and presentation of the project.

·      Contribute to the development of a test platform for verification and validation of the propulsion subsystem.

·      Verified the stability requirements of the design. Analyzed the stability and control of the aircraft.

Supersonic Nozzle Design

·      Apply computational fluid dynamics, CFD, on supersonic nozzle.

·      Find the flow properties of a conic and concave 2-D supersonic nozzle.

·      Use the method of characteristics to predict the shock waves reflection off a conic and concave nozzle.

·      Compared the flow of a conical nozzle versus a concave nozzle.

Heat Transfer in Underground Electrical Aluminum Cable

·      Provided the conceptual design for the heat transfer in an underground electrical aluminum cable with specific design parameters.

·      Determined the length of the aluminum cable to be 500 meters and to place it inside PVC conduits, which have 15 centimeters of diameter.

·      The design considered the 2-D Conduction heat transfer in the linear and radial directions along with convection heat transfer.

·      Recommended type of insulation to reduce heat transfer to the surroundings.

Pressure Distribution on UAV at Level Flight

·      Analyzed the overall pressure distribution of the DBF UAV aircraft using Star-CCM+ to verify and validate the lift and drag requirements set forth by the DBF Design Team.
