The Engineering Research Division is focused on advanced technologies for efficient production and use of energy that are environmentally friendly. The Engineering Research staff consists of electrical, mechanical, nuclear, chemical, and software engineers. Research areas include thermal hydraulics, thermodynamics, mechanics of materials, fatigue analysis, digital circuit design and microprocessors. The research includes internal inventions and contracted projects. Johnson Research engineers have experience in the design and development of theoretical models and custom, proprietary software for analysis. In addition, the engineering staff use I-DEAS Master Series for 2-D and 3-D solid modeling to design and construct experimental facilities for validation of numerical models and demonstration of project feasibility. The Engineering Research staff has an ongoing synergetic relationship with faculty at the Georgia Institute of Technology to develop and monitor new and innovative technologies. Johnson Research has successfully completed government sponsored research projects for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the United States Air Force (USAF) Some of the current projects include: A highly efficient heat engine A CFC free heat pump UNDER
