Work Examples

Sample figures from previous contracts are shown below. (All data shown has been changed.) All analysis and measurement contracts are accompanied by complete documentation of the inputs and assumptions used, as well as a discussion of engineering and design ramifications. The results are always spelled out in clear, well thought-out figures and illustrations.
margin.gif (1297 bytes) Thermal Margin Calculation
Shown is a comparison of measured temperatures of electronics in various configurations and the maximum temperatures allowed by manufacturer.
contain.gif (4301 bytes) Containment Analysis
Calculated temperature and pressure responses of containment structures are used to evaluate the capabilities of emergency cooling systems of nuclear power plants during postulated accident scenarios. This analysis is used to qualify design modifications or operation at uprated thermal power before submitting new operating conditions for approval by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC).
3D.gif (7991 bytes) 3D Temperature Modeling
Complex thermal systems that are hard to analyze with conventional techniques are modeled with a 3D finite-difference temperature solver.
warp.gif (2620 bytes) Thermal Deflection/Warp
Deflection of parts resulting from mismatched Coefficients of Thermal Expansion (CTE) is predicted with classical stress-strain analysis.
