ITT Industries’ Space Systems Division (ABI Project), August
2005-August 2006:
• Developed thermal solutions for complex electronic cooling
problems for ABI (Advanced Baseline Imager satellite)
microprocessors. CAD-Thermal Desktop software was extensively
utilized.
• Developed thermal models for aft optics stages and telescope
detectors. Thermal solutions were proposed to control and hold
the stages at cryogenic temperatures.
• Developed thermal models for OPS (Optical Port Sunshield) and
Carried out thermal analysis to investigate temperature
variation of the OPS in different orbits.
Turbulent Mixing and Unsteady Aerodynamics Laboratory,
Michigan State University, Research Assistant, 1/2001-8/2005:
• Research on Fluid Diagnostic Techniques such as: Temperature
Measurement Using Laser Induced Fluorescent (LIF), Molecular
Tagging Velocimetry (MTV) technique, Molecular Tagging
Velocimetry and Thermometry (MTV&T) and Particle Image
Velocimetry (PIV).
• Obtaining temperature maps of the ammonium chloride solution
during solidification process by improving and using the LIF
technique.
• Investigating the effect of the size and the arrangements of
the nucleators on the solidification process of the ammonium
chloride solution.
• Air velocity measurement inside the engine cylinders using
MTV technique.
• Surface temperature measurement of turbine blades using LIF
technique.
Phase Change and Heat Transfer Laboratory, University of
Connecticut, Research Assistant, 1/1997-2000:
• Worked on phase change heat transfer in Heat Pipes.
• Manufactured Un-Looped and Looped Pulsating Heat Pipes.
• Developed a numerical solution to predict the rate of heat
transfer in Looped and Un- looped Pulsating Heat Pipes.
• Investigation of Capillary Blocking in Forced Convective
Condensation in Horizontal Miniature Channels.
• Developing a Phase Change Subroutine for Fluent Software.
