  1. Detailed Design Review P13651 – MPI Wax Melter

  2. Agenda • Change from design review • System Architecture/subsystems • Feasibility • Test plan • Risk assessment • BOM • MSD II Plan

  3. Refined Project Goal • Revised Project Goal • Processes water-soluble waxes, that only come in flake form • Provide enough wax to keep up with a max reservoir speed of 50 lb/hr • Process at most 2 gallons of wax at a time

  4. System Architecture Accept wax Hold wax Melt wax Transport wax

  15. Feasibility Analysis

  16. Feasibility: Hopper Hopper > hand-fed solid wax • Reduce operator intervention • Increase processing speed • Better control feed into reactor

  17. Wax Properties • KC 4088D properties: Thermal conductivity – 0.685 W/mK Thermal Diffusivity - 0.360 mm2/s Specific Heat - 1.908 MJ/m3K • Thermal analysis: • Porous material model: Wax analogy • Ratio of specific heats = 1 • Thermal Conductivity = .211 W/(m*K) • Density = 950 kg/m3 • Heat capacity = 2.3 J/(kg*K) • Liquid material model: • Ratio of specific heats = 1 • Thermal Conductivity = .16 W/(m*K) • Density = 860 kg/m3 • Heat capacity = 2.5 J/(kg*K)

  18. Feasibility: Heat Transfer • Thermal analysis done to determine the temperature of the system during operation Start-up time: Evaluate the time to reach steady state with solid wax

  20. Time to Steady State

  21. Feasibility: Transport Wax • Linear actuated trapdoor vs. actuated valve • Reduce chances of wax solidifying inside the valve • Communicates with reservoir • Model flow rate out of reservoir: 50 lbs/hour

  22. Test Plan
