Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Addition of fan vents to connect front panel directly to fan
Testing out new method of measuring airflow via cut out hole
simulated using cardboard with ‘vacuumed’ bag attached on the underside
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Things completed
Thermal flow analysis on Solidworks Flow Simulation
Did some rough testing for actual CFM levels of fans
Pressure curve for SilenX EFZ-09-12, others pending
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Things to be completed
Data collection of Arctic F9 and Noctua NF-B9 pressure curves
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments
Start finalizing which fan and angle to be used on the final product
Looked at data, prices of fans (in bulk theoretical)
Will want to consider the pressure curves in our final decision
Meet up with sponsor to work on final design
Sponsor wanted us to learn how he goes about designing on SW
Will continue this on our next meeting
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments
Pressure curves
Requested from the manufacturers the pressure curves, SilenX was the only one of the three to respond
Speak with professor deCallafon concerning sound room
Sent out an e-mail at our earliest convenience
Awaiting response so we can redo the dB level tests
Risks and Areas of Concern
HDD and SSD allocation
More thermal analysis in dept
Schedule
continue designing chassis with sponsor this week
Ordering of chassis designed with sponsor, when finalized
