Relevant Projects

Cryogenic Separation of Air Project (Thermodynamics)

  • Worked on a process for the cryogenic separation of air. The air (79% N2, 21% O2 by mole) was first compressed, then cooled and separated in two separators operating at different cryogenic temperatures. The air was cooled in a pre cooler, then in the heat exchanger, which is combined with the vapor stream from separator #1 as a refrigerant, and also in the liquid stream 9 from separator #2.
  • Worked with others to generate proper efficiency values.
  • Interesting knowledge of working on moderating a chemical plant.

Pumps and Pipes Project (Fluid Mechanics)

  • The purpose of this project was to design a system of pumps and pipes that would deliver water from a reservoir below a town made up of 3 neighborhoods, consisting of various amounts of people. Three designs were created to test different pump orientation and pipe material. The pipes consisted of schedule 40 pipes of different material and construction constraints. The cost of each design is added up and evaluated on installation cost of pipes and pumps, and operating cost. Each was evaluated from a 1, 5, 10-year cost aspect.
  • Worked with others to create the best possible design.
  • Innovation and cost analysis.
