Qualifications

Consulting Background

Jinny Rhee has over a decade of experience performing thermal analyses for mechanical and electrical design. She has used her skills and training to serve a wide range of industries, including:

  • Telecommunications Industry
    Fan-cooled, multi-card boxes dissipating thousands of watts require analysis and testing to be thermally qualified to run in challenging environments and various failure modes.
  • Nuclear Power Industry
    Capabilities of emergency cooling systems require thermohydraulic analysis to assess proposed power plant modifications or operation for increased power output.
  • Laser Products
    Laser products often have special alignment and cooling needs that benefit from a knowledgeable application of thermal management and theory.
  • Biotechnology
    Thermal analysis is an integral part of many biotechnology applications because of the benefit of modeling fluids and tissue, reducing the need for costly experiments.
Jinny has been a Mechanical Engineering consultant since 6/94.
