Biography

    Website

    Design ;analysis and construction of Stirling Engines.
    http://www.ent.ohiou.edu/~urieli/stirling/engines/gamma.html

    Professional Development and Activities

    Some consulting was done with the cooperation of Professor K. Lambrakis that resulted in a number of technical reports to the clients which were of proprietary nature and therefore non-publishable.

    He has been involved in litigation cases as an expert witness along with Professors K.C. Lambrakis and J. Sarris.

    Reserch on theory & analysis of Stirling Engines.  Research on the theory and use of Chauvenet’s and Pierce’s Criterion for the elimination of data “outliers”.  Resulted in published, refereed paper, 2003.Attendance at ASEE conference, 2003, for curriculum and course development.

    Curriculum development for course EAS112, Methods of Engineering Analysis & EAS224, Fluid-Thermal Systems.
Credentials
