Research Experience for Teachers
AKA how Mr. R and Ms. Harrington spent their summer
SUMMER GOALSScience and Math teachers from around the
Milwaukee area were paired with engineers to learn about cutting- edge, energy related research
Energy was chosen because it is a current topic that is relevant to teachers, students, and the world around us
Engage students at the pre-college level to enter into STEM fields in college and later on
Water ProjectAeration is used in
the wastewater treatment process to reduce the amount of organic mater in wastewater
Try to make this process more energy efficient
Wind Turbine/ Power AnalysisReduce the lose of wind flow around turbine
bladesOptimize the design on wind turbine bladesIncrease the efficiency of power generation
Biomass GasificationStudy how
different factors affect the gasification of biomass
Gas Turbine Blade CoolingInvestigate the heat transfer and flow of
different ribs on the surface of a cooling channel
Gas Turbine Combustor DilutionIn a gas turbine combustion engine, hot air
can damage the turbine blades (creates hot spots)
This can be costly to fixGoal: to study how hot air and cold air can be
more effectively be mixed in order to avoid damage to turbine blades
