Official Design Project & Thesis- Masters of Science Mechanical Engineering at

University of North Dakota DEDP

As a mechanical engineering major with a thermal science stem I wanted to expand my knowledge with gas turbine engines, combustion theory, and machine learning. The project is continually on-going but will be rounding out my thesis work in machine learning using Python language for the deep learning artificial neural network performance prediction model for this project.

5/18/21- Project Update- FADEC and ANN (artificial neural network) performance prediction model goes into the design phase for Ty’s Masters of Science in Mechanical Engineering thesis.

 5/10/19- Project is coming back out of “moth balls”. With the advent of new technology and some process improvement, this project lives again. Stay tuned.

5/29/17- Phase 2- FMEA Update & Regenerative Cycle Design Review

5/6/17- Phase 1A- Sensory additions, intake revision, and performance model revisions

5/5/17- Phase 1 Micro Gas Turbine MGT-01 is complete.

11/1/16- All Gas turbine project updates have been moved to our Instagram page until Phase 1 has been completed. Instagram @crusader_engineer

5/20/16- Started researching the project goals, building a project outline, evaluating timeline and expenses in preps for Fall Semester.

5/17/16- Meeting and solicitation with the Gas Turbine Advisor for UND.

 

A change up from my Masters research project to focus on a course that could be the death of my GPA or pole vault my creativity. Autonomous Mobile Robotics Fall 19 part 2...Uncharted territory for me (SLAM puns lol) This last week has been devoted t
Optimizing the sensory model- need to move the data, quickly, accurately, and with minimal error as possible. Solution : CAN-BUS I need to have quick and clean communication between the motor controllers, flow meters, and pressure sensors in order t
Progress continues on the changes needed to optimize the new design. Data- critical for the sustainability of this proof of concept. We start with the sensory- mass air flow, it needs to be measured and the data sent to the FADEC I contacted the tea
