Project Log
| Ref | Project | Domain | Tools | Status | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PRJ_05 | Filso Dynamics | Engineering Software | JavaScript, Three.js | LIVE | |
Browser suite of 19 engineering simulations (nuclear, solar, wind, grid, process) with PDF reports, plus a global energy asset map and a power plant siting screen. Designed, coded and operated solo at filsodynamics.com. |
|||||
| PRJ_04 | Combined Cycle Plant Optimization | Power Generation | IAPWS-IF97, Exergy | DONE | |
Modeled a 242 MW heat recovery steam generator with IAPWS-IF97 steam properties. Optimized evaporator pressure under pinch-point and approach-temperature constraints using second-law (exergy) analysis. |
|||||
| PRJ_03 | EV Battery Pack Sizing & Aging Model | Electrochemical | MATLAB | DONE | |
Sized a Li-ion pack in MATLAB for a target power profile. Modeled electrode kinetics and degradation (LLI, LAM) to predict end-of-life performance, checked against lab data. |
|||||
| PRJ_02 | Green Ammonia Plant Feasibility | Process / CCUS | Aspen HYSYS | DONE | |
Capstone design of a 300 t/d biomass-to-ammonia plant in Aspen HYSYS, with water-gas shift kinetics, carbon capture, a HAZOP study and a $32.7M capital cost estimate. |
|||||
| PRJ_01 | Manufacturing KPI Dashboard Suite | Industrial Systems | SQL, VBA | DEPLOYED | |
SQL and VBA dashboards for OEE, yield and labour utilization, standardized across 4 Mother Parker's sites. Traced a recurring inventory discrepancy to ERP transaction data. |
