Mechanical Projects
Thermoeconomic Analysis and Optimisation of Air-Based Bottoming Cycles for Water-Free Hybrid Solar Gas-Turbine Power Plants (Mechanical Project)
The growing worldwide energy demand and the impacts of climate change due to anthropogenic greenhouse gases emissions are among the major issues facing humanity. The global energy system, responsible for most of the greenhouse gases emissions, is therefore at the heart of Continue reading
Ignition, Combustion and Tuning of Nanocomposite Thermites (Mechanical Project)
Nanocomposite thermites, or Metastable Intermolecular Composites (MICs), are energetic systems involving the reaction between nanoparticles of a metal fuel and another metal or metal oxide. When nanoparticles are used, the Continue reading
The Human Factors Design of a Wearable Balance Belt (Mechanical Project)
Being able to keep your balance is something most of us take for granted. People with inner ear problems due to an accident or surgery or other dizziness have to live with this problem on a chronic basis. A balance prosthesis, worn around the torso, giving feedback about their Continue reading
Experimental study of Complex Pipe Flow (Mechanical Project)
Turbulent pipe flows are prevalent in industrial applications. Despite a large body of experimental and more recently numerical investigations there are still unresolved fundamental issues. Among those are the scaling of the Continue reading
Mass Transfer and GDL Electric Resistance in PEM Fuel Cells (Mechanical Project)
Many modeling studies have been carried out to simulate the current distribution across the channel and shoulder direction in a proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell. However the modeling results do not show Continue reading
Design of 120cc Single Cylinder Experimental Engine for Analysis of Intake Swirl and Multiple Ignition Sites (Mechanical Project)
The intent of this thesis is to design, build, and test a cylinder head with variable swirl and ignition sites. The design aspect used Solid Works Floworks to model airflow within the head and cylinder. Swirl rate and volumetric flow rate were calculated from Continue reading
Growth of Cracks at Rolling Contact Fatigue (Mechanical Project)
Rolling contact fatigue is a problem encountered with many machine elements. In the current report a numerical study has been performed in order to predict the Continue reading
Design of a Four Rotor Hovering Vehicle (Mechanical Project)
Potential applications of autonomous vehicles range from unmanned surveillance to search and rescue applications dangerous to human beings. Vehicles specifically designed for hover flight have their own possible Continue reading
Concept design of an Ultra-light Industrial Robot (Mechanical Project)
The use of industrial robots are increasing in areas such as food, consumer goods, wood, plastics and electronics, but is still mostly concentrated in the Continue reading
Camera Spectral Sensitivity Characterization using a Blackbody Source (Mechanical Project)
With digital cameras emerging as more effective tools for scientific research, there is increasing need for Continue reading
Maintenance Program Development and Import/Export of Aircraft in USA (Mechanical Project)
This study discuss how United Parcel Service (UPS) develop its aircraft maintenance program after import of McDonnell Douglas MD-11aircraft and the process of Continue reading
