Week 1 Progress Report – Team 10 Delta TIM
January 13, 2012
Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Heat transfer analysis performed for water interface:
Generic Control Algorithm developed based on DUT feedback to a controller:
· Controller K will utilize feedback signals from the RTD sensor and possibly TU sensors. Heater power may be adjusted by the controller.
·

Risks and Areas of Concern
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Analyzed heat transfer through DUT, thermal interface material, and TU.
Performed preliminary experiment to simulate evaporation of water layer.
Identified functional requirements and constraints.
Considered high risk areas of project.
Overheating of DUT.
Overflow of water off of the DUT.
Plumbing system fatigue and corrosion.
Set up a regular schedule with our sponsor. [Tomo]
Format the website. [Nobuto]
Acquire Labview software (or similar product). [Brian, Shom]
1st meeting with sponsor [Tomo, Nobuto, Shom, Brian]
Generate list of questions, comments, concerns. [Shom]
Purchase materials based on sponsor feedback. [Tomo, Shom]
Effect of distilled water/ tap water
may possibly cause clogging in the pipe or valve
Consider the duration/life cycle of the material
long tern repetition performance
Create area of expertise in your team
Consider using TU sensors
Detection amount of water on and around DUT.
Only one RTD sensor available for commercial applications.
Applicability of DAQ with system.
Confirmation with sponsor best DAQ to use.
Whether heater on the TU will be utilized in our control system.
Specifics on TU on the control systems
Purchase /acquire equipment
Begin writing control system
