Fluids and Thermal Engineering

·         Fluid system design and analysis – gas, liquid, two-phase

·         Heat transfer and thermodynamic analysis of process systems for application

·         Thermal analysis input for structural analysis and design

·         Spacecraft, launch vehicle – internal flow field cooling

·         Propulsion system analysis and rocket performance using ROCETS code

·         Tools:  PRO-E, SINDA-G, SIM-FLEX II DeltaE, Pro-E, Nevada, Regen, and in-house software

·         Flight test and analysis of  propulsion and fuel systems for aircraft (Boeing 757, 767, 747, B2-Bomber)

·         Flight test and analysis of propulsion, fuel systems, and abort systems for spacecraft (orbital space plan, evolved expendable launch vehicle)
