Research Interests : Stirling Engines, Computational Modelling, Computer Programming, 3D Printing
Currently researching 1-Dimensional modelling techniques to numerically analyze the performance of low temperature difference Stirling Engines. The research outcomes of this work will be a flexible modelling software capable of taking thermodynamics networks in graphical form and providing an estimate of their physical performance, as well as providing optimization services.
