Project: Explore the design of an ammonia cracking unit – including a preheater and reactor – for an ammonia-powered turbofan engine.▪ Coded a baseline turbofan model to calculate the performance parameters of a kerosene engine, to be compared to an ammonia engine.▪ Designed a parametric heat exchanger plate for the preheater, to be optimized using CFD software.▪ Calculated the required dimensions of a shell-and-tube heat exchanger for the reactor.▪ Modeled pipes with different extended surfaces to improve catalyst surface area, mixing, and heat transfer.▪ Performed test simulations using ANSYS Fluent to determine the best-performing pipe for the reactor.
