Manually designing and estimating engineered equipment is time consuming and limits helpful iterations. Engineering intensive software can be written to provide equipment design, process design, cost estimating, and specifications on the web or desktop. Finite element, finite difference, FFT, electrochemical modeling, database, and other solutions are available.
Combined onsite R&D testing, data analysis, radiation calculations, expert advice by top consultants, and FORTRAN programming to develop computer software for radiant heater design. These radiant design methods were proven commercially with many applications.
Wrote a program that selected the optimum electric heater control panel design and generated a component bill of materials. Total material cost, shop labor, and price were determined. Wrote this in FORTRAN originally and rewrote it in Visual Basic.
Developed a program that selected the optimum electric immersion heater design while satisfying many design and purchaser constraints.
Wrote engineering programs for the design and rating of various types of process equipment including vaporizers, scraped surface crystallizers, tank heaters, suction heaters, electric heaters, and more.
Developed a highly nonlinear, eight variable Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) numerical model for hydrogen fuel cells. Programmed this finite element solution using MATLAB without the assistance of third-party programs.
Developed a nonlinear, two-dimensional finite element program using open-source Octave. This finite element program is custom source code.
LabVIEW programming and FFT programming in Octave for high fluid velocity equipment testing using R&D with instrumentation and accelerometers.
Programmed several integration projects using Rockwell RS View, Intellution iFix, Rockwell RS logic, Siemens Step 7/WinCC, PanelView (fuel gas usage, tank farm levels, fired waste furnace monitoring, multizone electric furnaces). These are PLC, HMI, and SCADA applications.
Designed, managed construction, and tested remote wireless control system for fourteen feed pumps for SPI Pharma in Lewis, DE.
Programmed a web implementation of the Kozeny-Carmen equation for pressure drop through a wide variety of packed beds. This was programmed with Python, Django framework, and the MySQL database.
Programmed a web implementation of settling velocity and hindered velocity for particles falling in a fluid. This was programmed with Python, Django framework, and the MySQL database.
Managed complete Honeywell DCS conversion at a CITGO Refinery.
Developed several heat conduction solutions using finite difference methods.
Wrote ten accounting programs which were used by an international manufacturer for many years. This was data base programming and included job cost reports, financial reports, shipped product status, and work-in-progress (WIP) reports.
Willing to re-write useful old FORTRAN program with modern methods and languages.
Programming experience with Visual Basic, Python, MATLAB, FORTRAN, MySQL, C++, Django, dBase, and Access.
