Coursework
Academic Studies
Coursework in thermodynamics, fluids, product design, and machine design. These pages summarize the question, approach, and findings, with the full papers linked for detail.
Waste Heat Recovery from Industry
A coursework literature review of heat recovery in cement, steel, and food production. I compared recovery technologies and industrial cases to examine where waste heat can be reused.
Fluid Dynamics Experiment: Water Flow from Jar to Straw
A water-flow experiment using a sealed jar and glass straw. I used measured volume and drain time to calculate flow rate, exit velocity, and Reynolds number, then compared the system with an energy-balance model.
CPR PulseMate Device Proposal
A coursework concept proposal for a compact, lower-cost CPR assistance device. I explored cost, portability, and usability requirements for bystander use; the proposal does not demonstrate clinical performance.
Electronic Fin Design
I compared rectangular and triangular cooling fins with a transient thermal model in Python. In the simulated conditions, a triangular fin at 20% coverage reached a peak temperature of 46.3 °C.
Beam Deflection: Model and Measurement
I compared beam-deflection calculations and SolidWorks FEA with measurements from a clamped PVC tube. The study also shows how fitting a material property to the measurements affects the interpretation of model agreement.
