UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT PROJECT MODELS

 CHAPTER SIX: STUDENT PROJECT MODELS


    I have handled quite a number of undergraduate students' final year thesis/project models; all of which were eventually manufactured. Some of these designs include: 

  • A Passive Desalination Solar Still Apparatus
  • An Electrical and Solar Powered Oven
  • A Passive Solar water Heater
  • Multipurpose Automated Hydraulic Press
Below are some CAD  isometric projections/views of the aforementioned machines.  For the abstract and full details on the parts, procedures and operations of these machines, please feel free to contact me via email provided on the profile. I used both AutoCAD and Solidworks for the drawings.

THE CENTRIFUGE DRIER

Image
 CHAPTER THIRTEEN: THE CENTRIFUGE DRIER From our laboratory chemistry we all know what a centrifuge is and what it does, and how it does it. A centrifuge is a device in which a mixture of denser and lighter materials (normally dispersed in a liquid) is separated by being spun about a central axis AT HIGH SPEED. Yes! I had to capitalize that, for it is in its great rotary speed that the centrifuge achieves its primary task of separation.  In this particular machine, same high speec principle is used to dry, instead of separate. A typical real life application of this is our washing machine. During the drying stage of the laundry, the machine spins at very very great speeds, that throws out moist from the fabric. In the very same way, the machines dries inputs to it.  The machine full set up is not completed yet though.

FIBRE SEPARATOR

Image
 CHAPTER TWELVE: THE FIBRE SEPARATOR This machine is yet another player in the family of Oil milling industry and machines. After the digester press is done extracting the pulp from the palm fruit, the by-product of the palm kernel and its fibres are next received by this machine. Like the name goes, the FIBRE SEPARATOR sifts the mixture of palm kernel and its fibres. The fibre chaffs drops down, through a hole under the machine, while the unshelled nuts comes out through the outlet in front of the machine.  See model views and dimensions.

THE FEED MILL EXTRUDER

Image
 CHAPTER ELEVEN: THE FEED MILL EXTRUDER The Feed mill Extruder is an agro-industrial machine for processing feed for livestock such as fishes and poultry. It uses multiple combination of electric motors that drives a screw conveyor, to press a feed mixture through a series of tiny perforations at the end of a heated and insulated drum. From the other end of the drum, a delicious, attractive strip of pasta (like your spaghetti), is forced out. After drying the pasta, it becomes hardened and crispy; it is then bagged and ready to be served to your livestock.  Facing/adjacent to the extrusion orifice of the drum is a smaller motor powering a rotary cutter that slices the extruded continuous strip of pasta as they form out of the chamber.  Enjoy the some of the views of this awesome industrial machine that I have drawn.  😀😀.
