- Developed reproducible Python models for shell-and-tube and double-pipe heat exchangers using CoolProp, LMTD analysis, convection correlations, nonlinear sizing, and pressure-drop constraints; extended the work to a fire-tube boiler model with combustion and radiation analysis.
- Computational thermofluids portfolio: heat-exchanger sizing, CoolProp fluid properties, nonlinear pressure-drop-constrained design, EES comparisons, and a fire-tube boiler notebook with editable laboratory parameters.
