Business Decisions: Personal or Professional?
A Missed Business Opportunity: When Control Ruins Innovation The Story of a Lost Invention In 1995, I worked with a small company making flowmeters and flow sensors for the semiconductor industry. These devices needed electronic outputs for flow control. While metering wasn’t new, adding electronic sensing improved accuracy — a critical need for handling corrosive […]
Computational Fluid Dynamics
Practical Applications and Tips for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Why CFD Simulations Are Valuable Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations are a powerful tool for engineers. They allow you to predict how gases and liquids interact with objects and environments before physical testing. Some key applications include: Aircraft and UAV design – Evaluate performance, aerodynamics, and […]
Good Mechanical Design Work is not Easy!
It All Starts with a Need: Lessons in Mechanical Design Mechanical Design: Balancing Form, Fit, and Function Good mechanical design goes beyond form, fit, and function. It also requires: Careful engineering analysis Smart material choice Manufacturing efficiency Adoption of new technology Every design starts with a need. Necessity defines the problem; invention delivers the solution. […]
