This paper discusses a new approach to teaching a senior-level mechanical systems design course at the University of Rhode Island. The MCE401 class was split into 9 teams, each with four students. Team members were selected to complement their learning styles. To each team, additional 4 students from the URI Business school were added. In the Fall semester, each team selected one of several different, product-oriented design projects or proposed their own project topic subject to certain requirements. The students were asked to perform a patent search, to critique related products, to prepare a marketing study, to propose a design of this product, and to realize their design using a 3-D solid-modeling software. At the end of the Fall semester, groups competed for funding for activities in the following Spring term that included building prototypes of their design, formulating business plans for commercialization, and applying for patent protection. The new proposed format gave students better understanding and exposure to the entrepreneurial process of product design and innovation.

Combining with the failure analysis of a class of import motor-driven devices of valve and the design of new kinds, several problems worth noticing in the design of motor-driven devices of valve have been discussed. These are the failure analysis and the redesign of changeover mechanism between manual operating and motor driving, the redesign of the setting way for valve opening, the reform of the measurement of transmission way for valve opening, and the selections of the parameters about velocity and force of the device. Based on these analyses, redesigned motor-driven devices of valve have been successfully applied in industry. The conclusions obtained have certain referential values to related research.

A drain cover for swimming pools, spas and hot tubs has been designed which addresses eight hazards associated with conventional drain systems. This new drain cover, illustrated in Figure 1, eliminates hair entanglement, child evisceration and finger entrapment as well as minimizing body entrapment. Furthermore, its design and construction provide effective countermeasures against vandalism, broken drain covers, missing drain covers and structural deterioration due to environmental antagonists. Additional features unrelated to safety include a universal fastening system which adapts the cover to all circular main drains available in the United States. Also, the drain cover is an order of magnitude stronger than its competitors and has a safe flow rate that is 37% greater than its nearest competitor’s. The product has been manufactured using a PVC material that is the most resistant formulation currently known for counteracting the effects of ultraviolet radiation and chlorine and other chemicals typically found in pools. This paper presents an anatomy of the product’s development.

The functional approach utilizes a ‘Functional Design Tree’, which is a decomposition hierarchy of functions involving sub-functions of an engineering system at various levels of resolution. Use of functional approach in the design of mechatronic systems is investigated in the senior level mechanical engineering design projects. A survey is conducted on the senior mechanical engineering students after an engineering design course. It is attempted to find out whether the students followed the systematic design approach, and to what extent they used the functional design tree. The results of the survey are presented and evaluated in the paper, and some conclusions are derived for possible outcomes of the survey.

A process upset at a chlorine production facility resulted in a release that forced the partial evacuation of a nearby town. Investigations revealed that the events commenced with the failure of a shell and tube heat exchanger (liquefier) used to condense chlorine gas. Post-incident inspections revealed a cloth at the liquefier coolant inlet that accelerated the flow in that region, causing certain tubes to be breached. As a result, the water-based brine liquefier coolant was entrained in the chlorine process stream, forming a highly acidic oxidizing mixture. This corrosive mixture then flowed to the chlorine storage tanks destroying an elbow in the tank inlet piping and rendering the tank shut-off tank valve ineffective, thus allowing chlorine to vent into the atmosphere. This paper discusses the multi-disciplinary approach used to investigate this incident. In particular, this paper discusses the detailed physical inspections performed, the finite element analyses used to determine the flow conditions, and the corrosion testing conducted to evaluate the failure.

Four Wright brothers’ propellers have been carefully reproduced by The Wright Experience for the purpose of measuring their performance using modern instrumentation. Reproductions of a 1903 Flyer propeller, a 1904 ‘Le Mans’ propeller, and two circa 1910 ‘bent end’ propellers have been manufactured, duplicating materials, construction and dimensional geometry. As evidenced by the correlation between static thrust measurements reported originally by the Wright brothers and our recent measurements in Old Dominion University’s Langley Full Scale Tunnel, the propeller reproductions match the static thrust performance of the original propellers to within experimental accuracy. Using modern instrumentation, it has been possible to measure the overall performance of these propeller reproductions covering their full speed ranges. Our tests have shown that the 1903 Wright propeller had a peak efficiency greater than 80 percent (Wilbur appears to have estimated its efficiency to be 66 percent) and the 1904 and 1910 propellers had peak efficiency levels approaching 90 percent. Not only did the Wright brothers’ propellers exhibit systematic increases in static thrust, but their propeller designs were extraordinary because they produced efficiencies approaching the levels found on modern-day human-powered flying machines. Our measurements have shown that the Wright brothers’ use of large-diameter, slowly rotating propellers enabled them to achieve propulsive efficiencies that were unsurpassed for nearly 20 years.

With a growing number of outdoor enthusiasts becoming increasingly dependent on electronic devices such as GPS units, cellular telephones, and palm-sized computers, the need exists for a lightweight, field-maintainable electronic power source. Since batteries are neither lightweight nor environmentally friendly, the outdoor enthusiast’s proclaimed advocacy of “environmental awareness” furthers this necessity. As a result, there is a strong desire on the part of the outdoor community to have alternative methods for generating portable power. This paper describes the development of a device capable of producing up to 10 watts of electric power by converting thermal energy into electric energy. This is achieved by placing a bismuth-telluride thermoelectric module between a highly efficient heat exchanger and an integrated cold-water reservoir. In addition to thermal efficiency and eliminating the user’s dependency on batteries: size, weight, and system volume were also critical design specifications. Design efforts have resulted in a pocket-sized, multi-use device, which can be used as a power generator, water heater, or distillation unit. The unit has also been designed to work with equipment already possessed by most outdoor enthusiasts. This paper discusses the design challenges and novel solutions encountered during the successful development of the unit.
