Learn more →Founded by Dr. Joseph McKay, whose doctoral research in near-field radiative heat transfer and SiC nanowire thermal emission gives every engagement genuine technical foundation.
Direct principal involvement on every project. No layers of management between client needs and technical execution. Fast, clear communication as a core commitment.
Near-field radiative heat transfer is rare in commercial practice, and it anchors a full thermal, fluid, and structural simulation practice. Where most firms reach the limits of their tools, our work begins.
Research-grade modeling of plasma-facing components, magnets, electrodes, and thermophotovoltaic systems: first-wall and divertor heat flux, pulsed EM-thermal loads, and emitter efficiency.
Coupled electrochemical-thermal-mechanical modeling for cells, stacks, and packs: separator and interface stress, fast-charge thermal, runaway propagation, and module-scale thermal management.
Thermal analysis of spent fuel and high-level waste storage systems, including long-term heat decay modeling and repository thermal performance.
Fast, validated CFD for liquid and immersion cooling: single- and two-phase cold plates, CDUs, rear-door heat exchangers, and immersion tanks, with defensible performance as rack densities climb.
Thermal simulation and V&V support for additive manufacturing, high-temperature processing, and advanced materials fabrication programs.
