Understandability is very good. Although imo you don't sound like a native. Where are your from?

It sounds like it has some american influence but not quite. I can't place the accent. Where you from?

Words like "different heat mechanism" and "such as" point you out to a Pakistani. I might be wrong but your accent sounds so neutral that it is hard to place you on a particular nationality. Good job!

Excessively rhotic.....exceedingly drawly.....obviously modelled on the American which I reckon is intentionally acquired for whatever reason......clearly not a native born citizen of the United States.....it's my guess the speaker originates in the Orient....way, way east of Suez....a good way east of Mumbai......maybe Krung Thep?...which we prefer to call Bangkok....anyway, I may be talking a whole lot of blethers....go on, spill those beans and put us out of our misery....

I can hear your African influence, but not much.You almost sound native.
How old where you when you moved to US?

I think if you keep working hard on it you can make it.
