Mechanical Design Engineer (CFD Specialist) | Tutor for Physics, Thermodynamics, and Engineering Courses

GPA 4.33 with international graduate scholarship.

Responsibilities: 1. Performed advanced mechanical design and engineering analysis for thermowells, quills, and custom instrumentation components used in pressurized process systems. 2. ducted design calculations and supported CRN (Canadian Registration Number) submissions, ensuring compliance with CSA, ASME, and ABSA regulatory requirements. 3. Applied wake frequency and CFD-based analysis to evaluate vortex-induced vibration, structural integrity, and service life of thermowells and probe assemblies. 4. Designed custom piping and instrumentation assemblies (e.g., thermowells, protection tubes, process connections) considering pressure, temperature, corrosion allowance, and manufacturing constraints. 5. Evaluated and selected materials for severe service applications, including high temperature and corrosive environments, ensuring compliance with applicable codes and standards. 6. Developed and reviewed technical documentation, including product manuals, fabrication drawings, datasheets, and calculation reports. 7. Supported quality management and certification activities (QMS) by coordinating with regulatory bodies (e.g., ABSA) and third-party inspection agencies (CSA, ETL).

Work Responsibilities 1. Filter the raw data obtained from sensors by effectively eliminating signal overshoot and tower distortion, ensuring that each sensor performs in accordance with the calibration certificate provided. 2. Conduct vertical extrapolation using data from multiple height sensors to accurately determine the free velocity at the specific height of the turbine. 3. Develop a long-term velocity profile utilizing appropriate algorithms, aiming to minimize uncertainty and enhance the accuracy of the predicted model. 4. Construct a wind resource grid and assess annual energy production potential, as well as evaluate environmental impacts such as noise and shadow flickering. This evaluation is essential for assessing the feasibility of wind farm development at the given location. 5. Optimize the wind farm design by considering various turbine models, taking into account factors such as price, manufacturing period, transportation logistics, and relevant experience. Additionally, optimize turbine positions while considering potential restrictions imposed by landowners or legal constraints, striving to find the most suitable configuration that balances energy production and compliance with constraints.
