As a Research Assistant at STEM-NET SoCalGas, I had the privilege of participating in a pioneering research fellowship focused on advancing energy efficiency and sustainability. My primary role involved conducting experimental research on metal foam heat exchangers with jet-impinged airflow. I designed and executed experiments to measure temperature changes within the heat exchanger through an enclosed flow channel, while also evaluating pressure drop characteristics. Additionally, I investigated the performance of heat exchangers with different porosities to determine the optimal porosity for varying mass flow rates. This experience provided me with invaluable insights into heat transfer dynamics and experimental methodology, further enhancing my skills in data analysis and problem-solving within the realm of mechanical engineering.
