Examples of such scripts include: a script designed to take hundreds of pictures of simulations and then insert them into a word document and a script designed to conduct 1-D heat transfer calculations based on hourly weather data Show less

• Designed and built a “Salt Vessel” using SolidWorks and engineering judgement to melt FLiNaK salt at 1300˚F and transport it to a desired location through the use of pressurized argon gas• Used Python to run calculations on the the fluid flow, heat transfer, and hydraulic properties of FLiNaK in a heat transport system• Conducted experiments which tested the thermal properties of FLiNaK and used Python to organize and process the data gathered• Developed an orifice plate using… Show more • Designed and built a “Salt Vessel” using SolidWorks and engineering judgement to melt FLiNaK salt at 1300˚F and transport it to a desired location through the use of pressurized argon gas• Used Python to run calculations on the the fluid flow, heat transfer, and hydraulic properties of FLiNaK in a heat transport system• Conducted experiments which tested the thermal properties of FLiNaK and used Python to organize and process the data gathered• Developed an orifice plate using SolidWorks, Python, and research to induce a specific amount of pressure losses on the water moving through a prototype of the nuclear reactor’s heat transport system to test the reactor’s motors Show less
