MSD 1 System Level Design ReviewBiomass Compressor Team 13432
Terminology • Biomass – any grown organic matter to be used in the system • Compressor – increases pressure on the biomass • FVP – force versus power • TIE – team industrial engineering • TC – team compression • TSP – team slicing and packaging
Goals • Present design criteria and customer needs for approval by customer • Update customer in regards to concept generation • Settle upon final systems architecture for approval by customer
EDGE Website • https://edge.rit.edu/edge/P13432/public/Home • One Page Summary • Concept Generation
Feasibility Analysis What the mechanical testing will answer 1. What does the force v. displacement curve look like? 2. Does moisture have an effect on the results? 3. Is the compressed material isotropic or an-isotropic? 4. What are the effects of the three different materials? 5. What is Poisson’s ratio for the materials tested? 6. What are the effects of the orientation of the material on resulting forces? 7. What is the force needed to eject the brick from the compression chamber? 8. Do the results scale? 9. What are the effects of dwell time in compression chamber? 10. What is the maximum achievable density of brick? 11. How does friction affect the compression and ejection of the biomass?
