M.S./1964/Mechanical Engineering, University of Minnesota

B.S./1962/ Mechanical Engineering, University of Minnesota

Mr. Peterson, a retiree from the Marine Division of Honeywell (now part of Raytheon), is an associate of Q-Metrics. His extensive experience covers both analysis and design work, primarily for the aerospace and oceanic industries. Since his retirement, he has worked as a consultant for a number of companies. His nuclear project experience includes the determination of the effective thermal conductivity of spent nuclear fuel assemblies, analysis of water treatment equipment for Hanford, WA, and QA review of calculations for the Wesflex™ spent nuclear fuel storage system.

Mr. Peterson’s experience  includes the following areas:

Fluid Mechanics

· designed ROV propulsion and maneuvering systems, including scale model and full scale test

· designed side scan sonar tow body for DARPA and tested in Puget Sound

· designed low drag communication buoys and suspended arrays for Navy

· developed ballasting simulation software and advisory control system for North Sea Sun Oil Balmoral production vessel

Dynamics

· designed fiber optic cable deployment system for Navy surveillance arrays

· designed underwater instrument deployment mechanisms for NUWES

· developed dynamic simulation software for Shell Cognac platform installation system

· designed and operated submersible control systems for Ocean Systems programs

Heat Transfer

· thermal modeling of electronic packages for Centaur and Apollo space programs

· thermal modeling of passive and active cooling for various guidance and control products

· thermal modeling of lightweight hybrid torpedo internal components
