Assembly time estimation is a key factor in evaluating the performance of the assembly process in an automated assembly process. The overall goal of this study is to develop an efficient assembly time estimation method by generating the prediction model from an experimental design. In order to estimate these times,...
The purpose of the study was to analyze the possible combination of cooling systems, which are film cooling and regenerative cooling, and obtain the initial estimates of possible temperature reduction. The analysis was conducted in Ansys Fluent. The methodology includes four main steps that are the following: flow simulation, combustion...
Digital image correlation (DIC) uses pairs of images, one in a reference state and one after in situ manipulation of the object, to measure full-field displacements and strains by tracking the motion of small image subsets. Subset selection is always a crucial part of DIC technique as it has a...
The study focuses on how to use entertainment method approach to prompt people with best practices for COVID safety. During COVID times, there have been many robots deployed in public places such as social distancing enforcer or a robot that provide facial masks, but few investigations have been done to...
For this project, we designed a soot modeling software to produce a full particle density function. This model uses the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo with a full conditioning particle selection method to capture soot nucleation and coagulation in a diffusion flame. We investigate the use of graphic processing units as...
Countries have begun to adopt green energy initiatives requiring high percentages of power generation to come from clean energy sources. Both onshore and offshore wind energy generates reliable clean energy. Due to this, wind energy has had an exponential growth in global adoption. While wind energy is increasingly adopted by...
In this paper, I present the design of Mira 2, a small-scale, liquid bipropellant rocket engine, with a specific focus on its oxidizer-centered pintle injector. Building upon the valuable lessons and insights gained from the empirical testing of its predecessor, Mira 1, the Mira 2 engine incorporates several improvements and...
