| description | Develop, revise, or review a thermal-fluid mechanical-engineering proposal using solicitation alignment, reviewer logic, preliminary results, proposal figures, milestones, and risk mitigation. |
|---|
Use mechanical-engineering-research to develop, revise, or review a proposal for thermal-fluid or mechanical-engineering research.
Workflow:
- Start from the solicitation, review criteria, page limits, required sections, and collaborator-document requirements.
- Build the first-page logic: importance, unresolved barrier, proposed advance, feasibility, and expected impact.
- Organize the narrative around one overall goal and two to four objectives, aims, or thrusts.
- For each thrust, connect hypothesis, tasks, methods, preliminary results, expected outcomes, metrics, risks, and alternatives.
- Use figures as reviewer shortcuts: overview, mechanism, testbed, preliminary data, workflow, milestone table, and collaboration map.
- Revise against reviewer-friction points: vague central hypothesis, parallel rather than integrated methods, unmeasurable milestones, weak risk mitigation, and unclear partner roles.
Expected output:
- proposal logic map
- section-by-section outline or revised narrative
- figure and caption plan
- preliminary-results integration plan
- milestone and risk table
- review-criteria alignment checklist
