*156B Week 10

Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.

• • Completed final testing with device

  • Met sponsors requirements for the device regarding centrifugal pump

Accomplishments from Previous Week

• • Swapped out parts to get device working properly

  • Changed setup because one channel was cracked

  • Successfully met the design requirements

Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.

• • Pack up device and remaining kit to send back to lab

  • Meeting with sponsor for help with 6 min presentation

    • Highlight key points

Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)

• • All comments via Zoom on 6/3

  • Final presentation run through

    • Focus on spinning negatives into positives

      • Cracked and we didn't have means to fabricate new device so we omitted channel and still got useful data

      • Couldn't use pulsatile pump but the centrifugal pump still yields applicable data

      • Valve: needle didn't work so we printed our own to meet our needs and it's even better because it doesn't touch the fluid

    • Add slide about summary before we move into recommendations

      • Remind people what we did

Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments  (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)

• • All comments via Zoom on 5/29

  • Resultant pressure in last channel could be from rho*g*h

    • Yes, the calculations are very close

  • Too high of inlet pressures

    • Met with sponsor to make sure we're all on same page

    • Inlet pressure does need to be at 50 mm Hg so cells can survive

  • Deliverable

    • Plot the data to show that we meet the sponsor requirements

    • Should show prices of comparable valves and compare to ours for final presentation

  • Start thinking about 6 min presentation

    • Figure out the memorable aspects of the project we want audience to remember
