Due DatesDateWhat is DueEML 3015 C Fall 2002Description of Thermal-Fluids Design ProjectAs discussed in the Course Outline handed out at the beginning of the semester, each group will be responsible for proposing, designing and building a thermo-fluid ‘device’ that illustrates the concepts learned in this course. For this course, the project will be limited to a ‘paper-design,’ the actual hardware will be built in the spring semester in Thermal Fluids II. Deadlines, for the submission of various aspects of the project, are listed in the table below.You will work in groups, which have already been assigned, every member of a group will receive the same grade for this project. Hence, it is essential that you work well together. This requires coordination and division of labor among the group members, critical skills that you will need in the ‘real world’. It is up to each group to determine the logistics and find the most effective way to function.Some things you must consider for Phase I (portion of the project for this semester):1. Group members have to agree upon the subject that you want to work on together. The decision should be made within the next week and a one-page written proposal (using Microsoft WORD) briefly outlining the chosen project must be submitted by September 17. 2. The proposed project has to be relevant to subjects that will be covered in EML 3015C. You are free to select your own project, however, the instructor will review your proposal and either approve it, reject it or suggest changes. You cannot proceed without the instructor’s approval.3. The project will be accomplished in two phases: the first phase will be completed thissemester while the second phase will be continued onto and completed in the following semester. 4. The first phase work will be a "paper-design ", which means that you do not have to physically build the system or device. However, the project has to be a "complete" thermal system accompanied with a comprehensive design, analysis and performance calculations. Several sample projects are proposed below for your reference.5. The second phase of the project requires the actual fabrication or ‘building’ of the system based on the paper design completed in phase one. For example, you can choose to build the pump and piping system in the solar heated swimming pool; or you can design, test and build the solar irradiation simulation lamp system for the solar panel testing facility project. Hopefully, by having different groups working on different modules, we can build several functional thermal systems. I will coordinate the integration of the modular units into a complete system. However, you may also want to discuss this with other groups.6. For the second phase, there will be a maximum budget limit of approximately $50 pergroup. If you need to spend more than the maximum limit, you will need to get priorapproval from the instructor. 7. A detailed design plan, including equipment and budget list, for phase II will be due at the end of the semester along with the final report of the phase one.8. It is my goal that you start building the system almost at the start of the second semester. This is critical because it always takes longer  as long as two months or more  to select, purchase and receive the necessary equipment. It is therefore advisable, in fact essential, to start the process as soon as possible, preferably during this semester.9. What is Due ? At the end of this semester, a 12-minute final presentation will be scheduled for each group to present the project to the whole class. In addition to the proposal and presentation, each group is required to submit two (or three) progress reports, on time, per the schedule below, and a final report, due immediately after thefinal presentation. Together, these will determine the group project grade. The projects will be graded based on their originality, feasibility, technical understanding, clarity and completeness of the reports and presentations.Due DatesDate What is DueSept 17 ProposalOct. 8 Progress Report No. 1Oct. 22 Progress Report No. 2TBA Progress Rport No. 3TBA Presentation & Final ReportSAMPLE PROJECTSPhase 1: Design of a solar heating system to heat a swimming pool or to provide hot water supply Solar panel selection/solar influx calculation Heat exchanger and piping system Links: Swimming pool heater, Solar water heater  Re-design of A/C system for the engineering building Heat and cooling load calculation s A/C size determination Links: HVAC-1, HVAC-2, Building Engineering  Design an indoor testing facility for solar collector panels Lamp system to simulate solar irradiation Pump and piping system to generate recirculating water flow through solar panel.Instrumentation to measure temperature, solar irradiation, flow rate, pressure in order to determine the performance of the solar panel Links: Search manufacturers using the Thomas Register Phase 2: Solar energy driven Stirling engine Thermo-electrical cooling portable cooler Design and build system module from phase one project Build thermal/fluid experiment/demonstration unit Build wind turbine
