ABOUT KAZIM NAQVI

Mechanical Engineer with 15 years of extensive work experience in the mechanical design of heat transfer and fluid flow devices in a product development environment with emphasis on balancing cost, manufacturability, and reliability. Additional expertise in designing, building, and testing complex industrial / mechanical / chemical systems, scale model testing, equipment packaging, CFD analysis for flow distribution and heat transfer, and process/design FMEA.Career Highlights:• Design of custom pressure vessels based on ASME Section Div. I & II, including FEA analysis for code compliance• ANSYS/Fluent based design & analysis of a combustion/reaction vessel assembly with emphasis on the effect of species transport on overall pressure drop, flow stratification, and inside wall temperatures• Detailed mechanical design of mass transfer columns, tube-coil heat exchangers, reaction vessels, and high pressure gas/liquid separators using AutoCAD Inventor• Packaging of equipment, including heat exchangers, reaction vessels, blowers, valve trains, and separation towers into custom designed process skids• Technical analysis/selection of gas‐gas and gas‐liquid heat exchangers for high efficiency and carbon capture fuel cell power plants• Identified and tested unique methods of improving efficiency of multi-phase heat transfer.• Co-authored journal papers on floating offshore wind turbines published by AIAA• Implemented six sigma / lean manufacturing best practices in an FDA regulated environment• Used 2D/3D CAD software in the design of a ORC system and serpentine coil heat exchanger.Professional references available upon request.
