Feasibility Study & Embodiment Design of a More Efficient Frying Pan for Commercial Kitchens

This design report discusses the embodiment design of a more efficient frying pan for gas powered stoves in commercial kitchens, to see if a potential market entry is feasible, viable and desirable. Conventional pans have a thermal efficiency of roughly 25%. This means that only 25% of the heat coming from the combusted gas is used for cooking....

Towards the Industrialization of MDAO: Evolving 1st Generation MDAO to an Industry Ready Level of Maturity

Multidisciplinary Design Analysis and Optimization (MDAO) promises major advances in aircraft design. However, judging from todays aircraft, MDAO is clearly not fully embraced by the industry yet. This is due to technical difficulties (coupling incompatible tools) and non-technical barriers (intellectual property).<br/><br/>Recent research, such...
