Instrumentation Mechanical Engineering Analyses (Thermowells & Quills)

We are looking for engineering students to help us analyze the performance of some of our products. Examples are as follow: Mechanical analyses of thermowells installed in piping and vessels. Mechanical analyses of injection/sampling quills installed in piping and vessels. Types of mechanical analyses to consider: Stress analyses (static and dynamic) Vibration analyses Fluid dynamics analyses (vortex shedding) Heat transfer analyses Materials analyses (corrosion and erosion) Exploring standard, novel, and new solutions to these challenging applications and having these analyses of thermowells/quills would be useful to deal with non-standard design conditions that are outside of the “ASME PTC 19.3 TW-2016 - Thermowells – Performance Test Codes – Standard” limitations.

Heat Transfer Analysis

We are looking for engineering students to help us analyze the performance of some of our products. Examples are as follow: 1. Thermowells with sensors installed into vessels and piping systems. This could include the heat transfer analysis of different variations on the thermowell design with conduction, convection, and/or radiation depending on the process selected. 2. Surface mount sensors mounted inside of furnaces. This could include the heat transfer analysis of different variations on the sensor design with conduction, convection, and radiation. 3. Injection quills dispersion and mixing modelling. Having analyses of sensor heat losses/gains, response times, and thermal balance/equilibrium would be useful. As well as comparing the difference between the actual process temperature to the expected measured temperature.
