This paper we study the condition where the water hammer effect is occurs in pipe line. Water hammer can cause the pipe to break if the pressure is high enough. The experiment will be setup to investigate the water hammer effect in order to avoid the water hammer effect happen. The prevention of water hammer effect will be propose and prove the prevention method is successfully reduce the water hammer effect. The prevention method using is installing the bypass pipe with non-return valve. The experiment is done by capture the vibration signal by using data acquisition device and accelerometer. The pressure signal is capture after a sudden shutoff for the valve. The signal is than analyze and convert to wave speed. The project is differentiating and compares the water hammer phenomenon with different pipe material, pipe length, inlet diameter of pipe, and pressure in pipeline. From the experiment, result shown that the lower strength material pipe, smaller inlet diameter pipe, and longer pipe will deal with lager water hammer effect. Besides, the prevention method by installing by pass pipe with non-return valve of water hammer effect is proved successfully reduce the water hammer phenomenon by 33.33% of pressure.
Anemometer is a measuring device used to measure the wind speed of an area. Before design or installing a wind turbine, it is important to determine the average wind speed of that particular area throughout the year. But it is illogically to purchase anemometer to measure the wind velocity for a year period. The purpose of this project is to design and fabricate a small scale of anemometer which will able to give the wind velocity with an acceptable range of uncertainty. The fabrication of the anemometer is developed using design methodology and simulation to obtain the optimized design. The designed anemometer has the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of 3.23 % when compared with Dwyer series 471 thermo-anemometer.
Semi-Autonomous Trolley Cart is design to reduce the chances of flight attendants from getting injuries while performing their duties. This project will help flight attendants to move the trolley cart comfortably and smoothly. The weight of this trolley including its loads weighs at approximately 25KG. It can move by itself using a rocker switch as this trolley is equipped with line following sensor underneath it. This trolley is also equipped with some electrical component. There is a line following sensor underneath the trolley. This sensor will follow a straight line that will be place along the aisle using a black tape. This project primarily focused on the trolley being a semi-autonomous and it will be controlled by switch.
Composting can reduce the disposition of food waste, but it is a complex and time-consuming process. In order to shorten the processing time of composting, designing a machine that can provide the optimum condition for the decomposition of food material is needed. This paper presents the development of conceptual design for a smart organic waste recycling system. Customer requirements is identified and translated as engineering characteristics. A total of 5 conceptual design is generated. From the Pugh selection chart and weighted decision matrix, the conceptual concept 1 is selected.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
