Projects

Selected engineering projects, simulations, reports, and technical files.

Senior Capstone

Manure-to-RNG methane project · Aspen Plus · MATLAB

Modelled anaerobic digestion for manure-to-renewable-natural-gas production in Aspen.
Modelled membrane separation of methane and carbon dioxide in MATLAB.
Estimated compression cost and optimized membrane sizing to meet methane purity targets.
Analyzed waste stream purity to ensure proper environmental disposal and compliance.

Report

Solvent-recovery process · Aspen Plus · Economic analysis

Led a team to simulate a solvent-recovery process in Aspen.
Wrote the procedure to evaluate thermal and overall distillation column efficiency.
Sized equipment and estimated capital costs for the separation process.
Modelled extractive distillation in Aspen Plus to break the water–isopropanol azeotrope.

Senior Lab Files

Feedback control system · LabVIEW · Microcontroller

Led a 4-person team to design and build a system regulating cylinder height by varying airflow.
Built a 2–3 ms feedback control loop using a distance sensor, microcontroller, and flow-rate actuator.
Developed LabVIEW PID control to handle disturbances and maintain setpoint to ±1%.
