Week 49/13, Tuesday

Results of Definition Review Recap with John:o Change ROI to payback periodo Stakeholders: Add people who will maintain the system

In class:o Combined the functional decomposition charts that we completed for homework

Action Items: o Bring System level design concepts to class Thursday. Be prepared to discuss the ideas

9/15, ThursdaySystem-Level Concepts:

Design Concept

Description Owner

Tarp tent Tent-type design with double layer tarp (landscaping tarp, etc.) walls packed with insulation (grass, etc.). Frame made of wood, air intake holes along bottom of side walls, exhaust at top. Trays stacked inside.  

Caly

Sand Dried Air Crop Dryer

Classic wood design with drawers and mesh, the regular collector (Dr. Steven’s method), with supply air passing over sand to dehumidify allowing for more moisture removal.

Matt

GHG collector w/double Chimney

Classic wood design with cupboard like doors to cover the racks, which use hooks (resembling the meat hook idea) to hold fruit. Collector takes advantage of greenhouse effect using a film to form top of the chamber and the black landscaping material w/holes forming the base. Two smaller chimneys to allow for more air flow.

Matt

Stacked Collector (double entry)

Two hot air entries so that hot air is directed to the lower and upper regions of the chamber separately.

Kaleigh

Function/Subsystem Design Concepts:Function Design Concept Description Owner

Increase flow Wind powered fan A fan that sits in the chimney connected directly to a shaft that goes up chimney and is affixed

Matt

Decrease Humidity

Desiccants Having a substance can help buffer humidity entering the drying chamber can allow air to carry more moisture

Matt

Increase fruit storage

Zig zag the racks The rack below the first will be on the opposite wall allowing for closer stacking of the racks. Allows us to conserve space.

Matt

Trap more heat

Roofing tiles Somehow use roofing tiles to absorb sun’s heat and direct that heat into the chamber

Kaleigh

Insulate chamber

Natural Walls Box designed out of clay/mud/grassy mixture. Or something like a clay kiln that could trap heat better.

Kaleigh

Maximize drying area of

Tray made of natural materials

Make the drying tray out of bamboo or burlap. These likely wouldn’t be as effective as mesh, but are more readily available

fruit in Haiti

Selection Criteria:

1. Maintenance requirements (part replacement)2. Simple assembly (<1hr)3. Cohesive subsystems4. Affordability of materials5. Guided customer support6. Material obtainability7. Ease of modeling process8. New concept (changes from grad research)9. Capacity for fruit10. Ability to seal from air loss11. Mobility (at least some components)12. Weather resistance of materials13.

Available Material List:

Material Additional Information

Gravel bags filled with crushed limestone

(used for foundation support).  Bags are made of tarps available and sewn into necessary shapes by local seamstresses.  

Straw bales Formed of rice straw, which is plentiful.  Source said 80% of rice straw grown in Haiti is wasted.

Clay Used in clay plaster

Bamboo Made into trusses for building, seen as underutilized as a construction material recently. Current campaign to increase use

___________________________________________________________________________

Action Items for Tuesday, 9/20 List of possible construction materials (with proof they are obtainable in Haiti).  Any additional materials

need to be shown they can be easily imported.o Try to find any material specifications for these, screenshot data sheets, etc.

Oven dry bananas as an experimento Caly has a food scale

Look into food safety requirements.  Upload info to Research folder.   Update Edge Expand on Gantt chart

6

Week 59/20: Tuesday

In class activity: Caly - contact Dr. Stevens to get the matlab model and arrange meeting for explanation. Look into possibility of hair dryer for testing Identify where we can make improvements in design Put together Pugh chart for designs

Questions for Dr. Steven’s Why did Stevens test with the 3 top racks?

o Didn’t have enough bananas to fill all of it, so he used the top so the hot air would have not have so far to travel before exiting with the removed moisture

How does he think it would change using bottom 3? Could his current model be adapted to model a shorter oven?  (3 or 5 racks) Why did he choose current oven size?  (8 racks) Opinions on double chamber and greenhouse idea?  

o We need a tall oven, therefore, the shorter design of the double oven probably won’t work.

Week 8:Thursday, 10-13:During Class:

Caly, Louie, and Matt attempted a heat transfer rough analysis of collector designs Reference P15484 for example of feasibility analysis

Results: Meetings with Dr. Steven’s should be designed and executed to be efficient and productive. Go in with organized plan. Plan on testing the double tarp next Thursday 10/20/16:

John’s Advice: Remember that labor is cheap and may be acceptable to use human resources as some part of

component. Don't be worried about asking stupid questions, it stifles your creativity when you do that.

Kaleigh attended this workshop:Brinkman/Machine shop workshop:

Jan Maneti spoke Half million dollars of new equipment Low volume CNC  equipment, run manually or CNC capabilities TIG/MIG welding, workshop will be provided by Kay… There is a nice wood shop with panel saws and wood processing equipment, not available to students,

but they will do the work for us. Paint booth availability if needed for spray painting 8am-9pm shop is staffed (by the end of the month may get extended to 12am.) No weekend machine work. MSD Project advising, it is good to get project reviewed before manufacturing to get any feedback. BE

PROACTIVE and check in with the machine shop specialists to prevent drastic changes in design. If you use the shop use the log in to the computer with your group (not all members necessary.) There is a sign out of a computer for material that needs to be taken out, MUST be Returned. Very important to have a complete work tracking sheet, pick up and drop off from the centralized location.

Must provide contact numbers. The form is also on mycourses. There is very small amount of leftover scrap material that is available for us to use. There is a tool crib in the basement that we can look through Some fasteners are in the basement Looking for the appropriate material: depends on the size, Rochester Steel Surplus ( Kline?) discounted

rates because this is leftover scrap. Find the certain material that you actually need, think about the time it will take to machine. Sometimes you are better off paying a little extra to get closer to what you need.

Brinkman: more advanced CNC equipment (John Bonzo) has his own forms for processing there. Water jet is not precision or square. If you need to install bearings or bushings, you cannot expect that the

holes will be accurate enough. Try to design your project around standard stock sizes Engineers black book is a very good resource. The machine shop really does have lots of vendors and resources, with connections to Sales Engineers

who are specialists in knowing materials that we could need. Sometimes they will donate, and many times there are discounts.

Fan Ideas:

Hand crank to start up air flow for fan at the end of chimney Fan above top of chimney or to the side that would spin fan in the end of the chimney Fan in the end of chimney only moved from heated air leaving chimney

11

Week 9:Tuesday 10-18:

Questions for Dr. Stevens:

1. CustomerQ: Is it ok, if our final system looks a lot like yours, only varying dimensions and materials?2. SME: is it reasonable believe there are better dryer chamber configurations to improve the flow and

drying?3. SME: Why was the dryer chamber designed as it is?4. SME: Do you think we need some sort of assistive device to move air through the system?

a. Or do we develop a way to make the passive system (more) effective

Outcome of this meeting:1. Continue with reworking current design2. Approving one of new proposed designs (probably with modifications/suggestions)3. Doesn’t approve proposed designs, but gives his blessing for new design. In this case, we’ll set up a

secondary meeting to propose more designs for approval prior to PDDR.

Advice from John: Walk out of the meeting with either the answer, or confidence that we know how to get the answer fairly

easily Rank the ideas on a scale of 1-10 of enthusiasm versus don’t go down that road.

For Thursday:  

Advice from John: The next meeting is to be incremental, the focus should be on sketches and drawings. Do not recap things that we have already talked about. Formulas and airflow concepts to get verified/approved. When we did the systems design review we were here, since then here is what we have accomplished

12345, and then review what our upcoming plans are to do with the design that we have at the point. The last review at the end of the semester should be comprehensive of the semester. It’s okay to come in with “papers on the table”.

Action Items: Put in an executive summary for the cover page of edge Planning and execution page

_____________________________________________________________________________

Thursday 10-20:

Results of meeting with Dr. Stevens: Move forward with stacked tray design. Focus on scaling up stacked drying chamber

12

Week 10:Advice from John:

Is there data available of the amount of humidity in the chamber as moisture gets added in the format of added fruit?

Notes: The Matlab file has some error that is preventing showing the data from 3 trays. http://www.haiti.climatemps.com/sunlight.php Haiti day length: 8.5 hours

Meeting Outline:Timeline to PDDR

1. Dryer dimension configuration will come from:a. DOE matlab modelsb. Output analysis

2. CAD Model3. Matlab chimney models4. Materials

b. Cost analysis c. Model refinement

Action Items: Everyone: Type up 3 week Plans Kaleigh: Presentation Preparation, Organize all Weeks Notes for Edge Slide Templates: Subsystem reviews Sketches/CAD Models Caly: Matlab, try to run the trials, or at least be prepared Matt: CAD Model, start the fluids analysis Kelsey: DOE Analysis preparation. (Assumption verification. Louis: Upload images, screenshots to edge

Week 11October 30, 2016

Notes: Caly did review of her Matlab meeting with Dr. Steven’s

Dr. Steven’s agrees that there are issues with the current model Developed some work arounds in the imperfect model Developed some crude calculations that would suffice with Dr. Steven’s Dr. Steven’s will provide us with some efficiencies which are necessary to do the calculations. Dr. Steven’s will be sending environmental data in place of the Rochester Data that we would

typically use. We could probably play around with the angle of the collector, and change the amount of

radiation that would be absorbed. We could get varied data, depending on what orientation we choose to put the collector in . Caly suggests that we keep the dryer and the collector the same heights that Stevens is using

now. Talked about the Tray concept

Alternating, stacked mesh trays 24x48inch wide trays, according to the model this would be a 50 inch collector.

Talked about how big the collector should be. Meeting

Questions for presentation:   Chimney design discussions?  Don’t want to make roof taper too quick.

Week 12 Tuesday November 8

Meeting Notes: Took a trip to the machine shop to talk with Rob about using some scrap wood for our testing trays.

Dr. Debartolo Announcements: Read announcements in email, and check whiteboard Final Exam Week: 1 hour gate review, are you ready to enter the build and test phases of MSD 2, close

out any issues from PDDR, MSD 1 reflection, Decide on Gate Review Time and Day (MTW), need to give the guide time to go through the edge, written exams take precedence over date and time selection.

Need to hit all the key elements of things you need to address. Found on MSD 1 Gate review bulleted list. Also complete the self-critique.

Use the PICS system if you are ordering something online. Check surplus first Have all information in place, so that an entirely new team could pick up where we left off in the spring

semester All teams will need to do a progress update on what we have done for detailed design review, and

what we had planned. By the end of the Tuesday class before Thanksgiving. Summarize project to date, notify guide and customer.

All groups are encouraged to submit papers for their projects, as we are required to write a paper anyways.

Advice from John: Our Progress Report will be on Tuesday during class in a conversational format.

Progress Report:

Gate Review Scheduling:  Bring a 1-2 page word document with bullets that answer the questions in the word document written by Mark Smith. Summarize where you think we are at the end of the first semester. Improvements, Opportunities, John’s performance as a guide. Here is where we are, here is the answers to the questions in bullets.

Action Items: Kelsey: send an email to Sarah about corrugated metal requirements, and prices of wood in Haiti We need to look into mesh alternatives Thinking of Wall alternatives Louis will make drawings to submit to machine shop on Wednesday to have a pack of trays ready by

Tuesday. Caly emailed Dr. Steven’s to learn more testing plans and model updates

To Accomplish this Week: Tuesday (11-8)/Thursday (11-10):

Develop list of mesh alternatives.  Potentially order material for testing. (Done) Matlab simulations from the weekend (Caly) (Done) Wall alternatives for drying chamber   Contact Sarah to find out about corrugated metal sheets.  (Email sent)   Collector calculations from Stevens’ data Drying chamber base?

Meeting Notes: Caly would like Matt or Louie to learn the Matlab Kelsey would like us to review our process report for our Tuesday meeting with John Dr. Steven’s and Deep found a mistake in the model, Caly is looking into it. Matt and Louie went to machine shop to track down the materials that should be ready today Kaleigh is going through the edge Realization from the machine shop that it is too difficult to machine. If would be likely too difficult to

manufacture in Haiti. We need to go through and redesign the Talked about people’s opinions of the door, continuing with the wood frame,

Action Items: Locate cardboard

o 5 - 26” x 24” sheetso 5 - 24” x 24”o 1 - 24” x 12” or 18”

_________________________________________________________________

Thursday November 17, 2016:

Meeting Notes: Caly explained Dr. Steven’s mistake in the model. The law of diminishing returns is present because as the collector size increases it doesn’t necessarily increase the amount of water moisture removed. The average solar flux: working off the weather data is about 800 Watts/m^2. Our collector does not scale linearly with the model that Dr. Steven’s currently uses.

Discussion over dropping the kilograms of bananas to 7 grams (30% reduction) so that air flow will be better through the dryer chamber. Then the collector could be proportionally set to work with the same size dryer. Also, the group is still leaning towards 2 day drying.

Advice from John:We should find the optimal density of fruit in the chamber that maximizes production quantity and ability to dry.Talk with Rachel about designing a DOE integrated from a simulation.

Action Items: Caly and Matt are to meet with Dr. Steven’s to discuss environmental data.

18

Week 14:Tuesday November 29, 2016

Meeting Notes: Caly did a calculation that shows we should only need about 44 sq. feet of collector space to dry the

bananas to our customer requirement. However, we have designed to about 64 sq. feet which should provide more than enough heat through the chamber.

Need to get together a list of everything that needs to be done. Kaleigh will go back through and fix the dimension sizes on the AutoCad drawings. Decided that it we need get the test plan together and potentially set up the upcoming test plans. Matt proposed to buy a Wegmans gift card. “Banana bucks” Kelsey and Kaleigh worked on assembling the testing trays

Action Items: Matt is to finish the drawing in Autocad and upload a PDF to the Google Drive Folder Kaleigh will put the most up-to-date risks on the Edge Page along with any remaining drawings Kelsey and Louie will work together to get an updated and official BOM table.

19

Week 15:Meeting Notes:

We want to order remaining tray materials after the DDR review of Week 15. The plan is to have the trays built prior to returning in January. Can we order materials over break? How much notice should we give the machine shop? Our assembly will most likely be done in one shot because it will be difficult to get any test results of

individual subsystems separately

Action Items: Gate review document Team self-critique Edge Completion Ask John about what the deliverables checklist, Ask John about the critiques and the gate review

document Divide up slides (in progress) DDR summary paragraph for home page

MSD 2

Week 1Week 1: 1/23/17

Tuesday:

Meeting Notes: Listened to the presentation from Hanzlik about MSD 1 Post Mortem and Expectations for MSD

2 Talked to Chris Fisher about getting cubicle space because this will not fit on the workbench

that she suggested Locate some straw, talk to FMS

Notes from John: We need to figure out what we want to be able to present at the Week 5 demo. For weekly check-ins: What did your plan or action items say you should have had done in the

past week, what did you get done, what are your next steps to get done for the upcoming week. On Thursdays he will not come looking for us. Watch the movie Lion.

To-DoFind out how much tarp Dr. Stevens has left and verify that we can use it. Dr. Steven’s Schedule - (Caly emailed Stevens)We need a project plan for week 2, or action list Week 5 shared vision

Need to do for tray testing: Build actual cardboard chambers Buy bananas Prepare bananas Properties of space heater Figure out how we are going to collect data.

____________________________________________________________________________

21

Thursday

Follow-up from Tuesday We’re going to meet with Stevens at the end of class Thursday to look at testing space in his

lab. We can use all the tarp Get a list of testing equipment

o Flow metero Thermocouples + measurement device

Bill of Materials updateo Color-coding (or something else?)

Phase 1 Deliverables to get together: Review MSD 1 post mortem BOM update MSD 2 expanded plan Team shared vision for

o Final customer reviewo Imagineo Week 5 review

3 week plans (for weeks 3-5) Expanded test plans

Meeting Notes

The only thing we could actually test separately would be the collector because we could rig it up to Dr. Steven’s setup. Though it wouldn’t be totally representative because of the differences in chimney. It would be closer than nothing. We would be able to input the same conditions into that Matlab model Dr. Steven’s thinks there is more than enough space in his lab for us to do tray pack testing.Interested to see what our solution will be for measuring the mass of the bananas on flexible trays instead of windows

Kaleigh’s Response to Caly’s Email Your vision of what you think we can realistically accomplish before the W5 review.

o I think realistically we can have all of the tray packs assembled, the frame tor the chamber built, and the collector frame built. Additionally, we probably can even poke the holes in the tarp.

o Completion of a chamber simulation using cardboard boxes What part of the W5 vision you can do/help with.

o Tray assemblyo Hole pokingo Attending and monitoring the simulation of the chambero Peeling bananaso Keeping everything up-to-date on edge

Small/last minute items to add to the BOMo Straw

Test plan elaboration and how each engineering requirements matches up.  We've already (kinda) done this.   

22

Meeting 1/27 at 1PM to assemble tray testing cardboard housing.  During this time, work on: Task lists for each person What we want done for W5 review

23

Week 2Week 2: 1/31/17

Tuesday:

Notes from John: Write up test plans in excel document found on MyCourses We have to do 2 peer reviews. We can do weeks 2 and 8 or weeks 5 and 8. Don’t do numbers,

focus on the pluses and deltas Figure out optimal tray density (test this during our cardboard tray testing?) Can we test tray density only using airflow? Maybe we don’t have to run a full test. (Louie says it

has more to do with moisture content of air than it does airflow) Put schedule on edge or email to John Think about how we want to present to Dr. Stevens during week 5. (Where, what, how?) Put the 4 things we want to show in week 5 in an email and send to Stevens to see if that is

what he was expecting Do we have any specs on the durability of the landscape fabric Should we test the durability of the fabric somehow? Paragraph summary - why we’re doing the cardboard thing, where we are on test plans, the

need to nail down the return on investment, firmed up demo plans for week 5.

To-Do Fix netting on 2C and 2D Talk to John about calculating ROI
