We had great fun yesterday hosting 6-12 year olds organized through the University of Michigan Natural History Museum Summer Camp directed by Brittany Burgess. The outreach activity was a simple hands-on-demonstration to observe brine shrimp response to light and interpretation of these observations to understand how different colors get absorbed differently in water.

ME 530 (Advanced Heat Transfer) students did a fantastic job presenting their final class projects that included computational heat-transfer analyses for various applications — laser-based additive manufacturing, optimizing fin design for a transfer case, heat-transfer analyses for welding, packed-bed solar thermal energy storage, and regenerator design for cooling a rocket engine. Great job everyone!

Prof. Robert Laughlin from Stanford University gave a stimulating keynote presentation at the Thermal-Mechanical-Chemical Electricity Storage Workshop organized by industry, academia and DOE at SwRI last week. He made the case for how energy storage is actually a LOT about entropy changes. Rohini had a great time participating in this workshop.
