Mechanical Engineering (MNE) SEMINAR DATE: April 25, 2019 TIME: 1:30 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. LOCATION: Textile Building, Room 101E SPEAKER: Mr. Jeffrey (Jack) Hanson, Jr. Active M.S. Student, Mechanical Engineering, UMASS Dartmouth TOPIC: Tethered Recharge of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles ABSTRACT: This effort studies the feasibility of using Tethered Undersea Kites (TUSK) to charge subsea systems using ocean current. Existing knowledge of in air systems states that performance of TUSKs are directly affected by the Lift to Drag ratio. The effects to energy production will be reviewed by changing wing geometry for existing Autonomous Unmanned Vehicles (AUVs). Overall goals include: -Improving AUV operating time and reliability -Developing a means of delivering power and energy to unmanned systems -Developing reliable affordable undersea platforms -Developing the capability to reliably and safely harvest undersea energy. BIO: Jack Hanson obtained his B.S. degree in Chemical Engineering at the University of Rhode Island. For 15 months Jack worked as petroleum engineering design, evaluating, and construction Liquefied Natural Gas export terminals and natural gas pumping stations. During that time, Jack gained experience reading and interpreting drawings and contracts. From there, Jack jumped industries working as a pharmaceutical manufacturing engineer at Citra Laboratories in Braintree, Massachusetts for 1 year. While working at Citra, Jack maintained and validated water purification systems, clean rooms, assembly lines, and ovens. Since 2018, Jack has worked for the department of defense as a production engineer in code 8554 at NUWCNPT. He has support mostly light weight production projects along with miscellaneous chemical, fluid/thermo-dynamic, or contractual issues. For more information please contact Dr. Jun Li, MNE Seminar Coordinator (jun.li@umassd.edu, 508-999-8692). All are welcome. Light refreshments will be served. Students taking MNE-500 are REQUIRED to attend! All other MNE BS and MS students are encouraged to attend. EAS students are also encouraged to attend.
