2011 Formula SAE Cooling

In response to overheating issues faced during testing and competition in 2010, the team, including Reuben Ness, Craig McLain, and Riki Hopkins, initiated a redesign of the cooling system for the 2011 Formula SAE vehicle. Starting in June 2010, they focused on understanding governing equations, making informed assumptions, and applying heat transfer calculations with a factor of safety. The project culminated in a detailed redesign plan by January 2011. Remaining tasks involve parts ordering, documentation, testing, and verification, essential for addressing previous reliability issues before the upcoming competition.
