-Performed evaluation of an existing pool boiling test stand through experimentation and redesigned based on results. Executed design modifications to improve test accuracy.-Experimentally characterized natural convection and pool boiling on a new carbon foam product for use in advanced cooling applications.- Redesigned a flow distribution test stand to form a closed loop system, saving 200 L per test of waste water, for use in flow erosion studies while adding accurate pressure drop… Show more -Performed evaluation of an existing pool boiling test stand through experimentation and redesigned based on results.
