Show moreThe Dark Energy Survey (DES) project will study the accelerated expansion of the universe. In order to further study this phenomenon, scientists have devised a method of creating an array of charged couple devices (CCD) to capture images that will be studied. These CCDs must be cooled and remain at 173K to eliminate thermal gradients and dark current. Therefore, a two-phase CCD liquid nitrogen (LN2) cooling system was designed to maintain the array of CCDs at a constant temperature. However, the centrifugal pump used to supply LN2 has a mean time between failure (MTBF) of approximately two thousand-eight hundred hours (116 days). Because of the low MTBF of the centrifugal pump, a new pump is being considered to replace the existing one. This positive displacement pump is a simpler design that is expected to have a MTBF that will exceed 116 days (2800hrs). This positive displacement reciprocating pump, also known as, the cryogenic over-pressure pump (OPP), was tested in February 2012 and successfully cooled the CCD array to 173K. Though un t for service for DES CCD cooling system, the overall concept of this pump has been proven. Typical ow rates, pressures, and temperatures trends have been captured via instrumentation and are speci c to the operation of future over-pressure pumps.

Show moreThe problem posed at Queen of Peace High School is one of sustainability. The IPRO 314 team will focus on the reuse and greening of existing school facilities. Three major projects currently hold latent potential for the school: the communications center, the sustainability wall, and the overall greening of the facilities. If these projects are completed correctly, they will become a catalyst for positive change. We are proposing to create a transition from library to communication center because of its isolated state in the school. The sustainability wall is two-fold in terms of benefit. It will upgrade the current windows which are lacking and will create an interesting learning tool. Greening of the entire school is the third project and includes windows, roofing, etc. to improve efficiency. Through the use of all three proposals, IPRO 314 believes in the school promotion and what enrollment it could bring.

Show moreThe goal of this project was to determine the feasibility of using the heated waste water from the Braidwood Generating Station for use in greenhouse applications. Though extremely efficient, the Braidwood Generating Station, like all nuclear power plants, still wastes two-thirds of all energy generated and pumps 1.5 million gallons per minute of warm waste water into its cooling lake. All of this thermal energy pumped into the cooling lake is wasted. IPRO 342 was looking to change that.
