Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Consolidation of a 3d model in solidworks
Determining if 15 degree tilt would prove to be quieter and simulated as a better air flow than the 30 degree tilt
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Obtained pressure curves from Noctua NF-B9 and the SilenX 92mm fans
Have yet to obtain the pressure curve for the Arctic (has not yet responded)
Dimensioning of the overall chassis with construction of the parts in solidworks
Deciding on which fan to ultimately use with tilt
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Have a model being made and ready to get to use by latest week 9
Receive budget sheet from sponsor and include in final report
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
testing out the 15degree tilt with data recording
went ahead and setup the chassis to run the fans with a 15degree tilt
the tilt increased the overall depth at which the frontal fan takes up
sponsor agreed to go ahead and adjust depth to account for this change
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
test out RPM to find out CFM
went ahead and acquired an IR sensor with arduino nano to test out how many rotations occur in a minute
applied this result to the pressure curve under the assumption that at zero pressure, the max CFM corresponds to the advertised max RPM
use of interpolation to get values
acquire more fan curves
received fan curves for all our fans to be considered except from the Arctic company
Risks and Areas of Concern
Slightly behind schedule in terms of completion, although we want to do a good job rather than a rushed job
sponsor says this is the best way to go, doesn’t want a rushed job
Schedule
include a duct for the front fan system, also include into the solidworks model
Progress on Report and Webpage
