Mechanical Engineering Research Skills
Develop thermal-fluid research with domain analysis, writing, data, and review workflows.
This nine-Skill suite combines mechanical-engineering guidance with thermal-fluid analysis, proposals, literature writing, data analysis, slides, schematics, mentoring, and reviewer-author revision.
Use cases
- Check thermal-fluid assumptions and validation
- Prepare research proposals and manuscripts
- Analyze results and present research
How to use
Provide the research question, governing assumptions, and evidence. Choose the specialist workflow and preserve the upstream references and scripts for domain checks and editable outputs.
Skills
mechanical-engineering-research
Apply source-aware mechanical-engineering judgment to research, analysis, coding, writing, teaching, research identity, and release work. Use for thermal-fluid systems, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, HVAC, energy systems, turbomachinery, piping, multiphase flow, experiments, correlations, CFD, reduced-order models, AI/ML, uncertainty, engineering datasets, literature reviews, citations, manuscripts, reviewer revisions, Overleaf packages, figures, proposals, research software, reproducibility, public releases, engineering teaching materials, or a research-project logo and visual identity.
hanhuark/mechanical-engineering-research-skillresearch-data-analysis
Design and analyze engineering experiments or simulations using baseline cases, hypothesis-driven DOE, traceable data processing, defensible plots, uncertainty, and validation. Use for CFD, laboratory data, ML workflows, parameter studies, or research code.
hanhuark/mechanical-engineering-research-skillresearch-mentor-review
Provide constructive, evidence-based research mentoring feedback on student manuscripts, proposals, analyses, code, figures, and presentations. Use for advisor-style review that teaches the next improvement without impersonating an advisor or making unsupported scientific judgments.
hanhuark/mechanical-engineering-research-skillresearch-proposal-development
Develop research proposals with solicitation alignment, reviewer-focused logic, evidence-bounded preliminary results, milestones, risks, and compelling figures. Use for federal, foundation, equipment, partnership, or internal research proposals.
hanhuark/mechanical-engineering-research-skillresearch-schematic-design
Create publication-quality, editable scientific and engineering schematics with explicit physical meaning, exact labels, visual hierarchy, and provenance. Use for experimental facilities, thermal-fluid mechanisms, workflows, graphical abstracts, system architectures, or research diagrams.
hanhuark/mechanical-engineering-research-skillresearch-slide-design
Design clean, graphics-first technical presentations and posters with logical slide progression, visual hierarchy, purposeful motion, and complementary speaker notes. Use for research talks, conference slides, seminars, defenses, posters, or figure-focused presentations.
hanhuark/mechanical-engineering-research-skillresearch-writing-literature
Write and revise rigorous research narratives, literature reviews, manuscript sections, citations, and figure discussions. Use for technical introductions, methods, results, discussions, review articles, abstracts, or related-work sections.
hanhuark/mechanical-engineering-research-skillreviewer-author-loop
Iterative manuscript improvement workflow where a reviewer agent critiques, an author agent revises, a verifier checks the revision, and the loop repeats until acceptance or a human-pause condition is reached. Use for virtual peer review, reviewer-author revision loops, rebuttal preparation, resubmission polishing, journal paper improvement, response-to-reviewers drafting, and deciding when additional data, experiments, theory, modeling, or author judgment is required before further revision.
hanhuark/mechanical-engineering-research-skillthermal-fluid-analysis
Analyze thermal-fluid engineering systems, experiments, CFD, and correlations with explicit assumptions, validity limits, uncertainty, and mechanism-based interpretation. Use for heat transfer, fluid mechanics, phase change, HVAC, energy systems, turbomachinery, piping, or thermal management.
