EDUCATIONThis expert received a M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Southern California.
This expert has a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Oklahoma State University. EXPERTISE AND SERVICESMechanical, Thermal and Fluid Systems Expert Consultant ResumeThis expert specializes in thermal systems engineering design, component sizing, integration and analysis, and analysis of heat transfer. Further expertise includes fluid flow/piping systems, two phase systems, control system logic and algorithms.
This consultant offers expertise specific to thermodynamic cycles, project/program management of multiple disciplines in the design, and development and production of complex thermal systems hardware. Further expertise includes heat rejection subsystem (HRS) radiators, design, development, qualification, fabrication, cost/schedule, and delivery.
Additional areas of specialty include conceptual, preliminary designs, design trade studies to optimize heat rejection system concepts, prime contractor space station concepts, two-phase heat transport systems, heat pipes, thermal storage, capillary pumped loops, new thermal control technologies, advanced thermal control system designs for large manned spacecraft, and spacecraft refrigeration systems designs including thermoelectric devices, and fluid temperature control system and radiator system freon coolant flow design.
Extensive knowledge includes mission simulation thermal modeling and analyses, centrifugal liquid propellant feed turbopumps development, design testing, and thermal management for space platform applications. Further knowledge includes design analysis for surveillance satellite thermal control systems, cooling systems for satellite remote sensing instrumentation, space station heat rejection subsystem radiator assembly design and development, and space erectable radiator system development.
This associate has demonstrated specific expertise relative to a space constructible heat pipe radiator, development of zn orbiter radiator system, thermal management for large space platforms, and cooling systems for remote sensing instrumentation.
