Show moreIPRO346 will focus on familiarizing itself with British Petroleum’s (BP) wastewater treatment plant (WTP) for its oil refinery in Whiting, IN. Specifically, this IPRO will analyze the current permits and their stipulations regarding the amount of ammonia and total suspended solids (TSS) in the wastewater being dumped in Lake Michigan. Ultimately, possible methods and designs will be devised to reduce the levels of ammonia and TSS remaining in treated wastewater. These designs will take the form of a process flow sheet with a computer simulation to model the designs. At the culmination of this IPRO we will have several different models for possible upgrades to the Whiting refinery wastewater treatment plant to reduce the levels of ammonia and TSS in the wastewater entering Lake Michigan as well as a cost to implement each solution.

Show moreThe team will organize and conduct a conference to address the question of what is the status of our knowledge about human consciousness. This will provide interested students an opportunity to develop and apply project management skills, and develop many contacts in various professional areas in academia, government agencies, professional societies and professional services firms, social services organizations, and a range of associated health fields. The question of human consciousness has philosophical, psychological, and neurobiological dimensions. The 90�s were the decade of the brain. The genome project has focused attention on the evolution of the brain especially with the emergence of the discipline of evolutionary psychology. A conference (following the format of the previous one-day conference we organized and conducted on November 7, 1998, The Ganges River Pollution Problem) will display the several dimensions of the question via presentations by experts representing the range of complementary issues and areas of study associated with the topic of human consciousness. Self-awareness is a source of wonder and curiosity for all humans. A conference with this focus will give all of us that comprise the IIT community an opportunity to explore with, and gain insight from, experts in each of the relevant fields of knowledge to advance our own levels of understanding about this fascinating phenomenon.

Show moreIPRO 303 is working on the user interface for SmartSignal Corporation’s software which predicts equipment failures in coal fired power plants. We are now in the third stage of the project. We are to deliver the user interface of the software based on the studies done by two previous semesters. SmartSignal suggested that we also consider specific elements of the software such as the clear presentation of developing fault information, and the efficient communication system between users. An appropriate UI will utilize SmartSignal’s predictive analysis software to provide an efficient and clear means for power plant personnel to: · Predict or identify equipment faults · Understand the predicted faults · Prioritize the disposition of the predicted faults or highlight urgent or important faults · Reduce the need for plant personnel to have many years of experience or “institutional knowledge” The ultimate goal of this project is to introduce an innovative approach to the user interface which SmartSignal can use for predicting equipment failures in coal fire power plants. To realize this, we set these objectives. · Research and collect information relative to the User Interfaces [UI] from the first hand users of the software while examining the study done by the previous IPRO303. · Create the Requirements Document for the UI in light of the concerns expressed by SmartSignal and the results of research. · Generate several possible UIs based upon the Requirements Document stated above. · Select one of the Several UI for development of details and revise it based upon the input from SmartSignal. · Add details and finalize the design of the selected UI.

Show moreThe objective of this IPRO is to choose an appropriate method (or combination of multiple methods) for desulfurizing coal before combustion takes place in a furnace for energy production. Three methods will be researched in order to find the best way of desulfurization- physical, chemical, and biological. Whichever method(s) is found to be the most effective at removing sulfur from coal will be chosen. After this decision the group will move forward and design the process equipment; later an economic assessment will be done to cost the equipment. All of the group’s goals will be completed within this semester.

Show moreIPRO 331, its team members, and all involved faculty are devoted to enhancing awareness in the community to the issues surrounding global warming. Our goal is to give PowerPoint presentations to several different audiences, especially today’s younger generations in elementary school, high school, and college, in order to both educate and interest people in these issues. Our presentations are meant to be objective – we want to present the facts about global warming research from credible sources. Additionally, with the help of our website and contacts, we hope to be another driving force in the sustainability movement and climate change research. Our purpose can be summed up in a quote included at the end of each of our presentations: “It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the ones most responsive to change.” – Charles Darwin

Show moreIn sub-Saharan Africa, only 35% of the population is connected to grid electricity [2]. Grid-connected parts face serious transmission and distribution challenges. There is also the challenge of electricity demand being greater than electricity supply. These issues in all levels of the traditional power system – generation, transmission and distribution have led to gross inadequacy of electricity supply. This research focuses on the capital intensive Power Distribution Planning (PDP). Most problems in the distribution system affect the consumer directly. Distribution substation planning, a critical part of the PDP, particularly addresses the issue of overloaded distribution systems. It is not uncommon for substation transformers in some African communities to become damaged because of overloading. The choice of location, sizing, siting and number of substations is determined by considering load distribution, feeder lengths and sizes, and the interruption costs. The research illustrates a framework for substation planning, incorporating possible future load growths over a particular period to forestall unwanted failures in the distribution system. A direct algorithm is used, where the substation capacity is computed manually from the load levels at different points. This algorithm is later combined with the Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) approach solved with the CPLEX solver in MATLAB.

Show moreThe Spring 2005 IPRO 305 team will be continuing the efforts of ongoing research at IIT in the realm of Pervasive Computing. The team will be focusing on the challenge of integrating Pervasive Computing into a specific aspect of the IIT campus. The overall vision of the IPRO 305 team is to continue efforts to develop an application called HawkTour – a virtual Illinois Institute of Technology tour guide. HawkTour will provide a completely new approach to the campus tour at IIT. The application has been designed to run on Tablet PC’s or other devices with similar computing capabilities, and provides the user with general campus information while guiding the user around campus and maintaining complete awareness of the user’s current location and intent, thereby adapting the tour to the user’s own personal preferences. The objective for this semester’s team is to refine the application and come up with a new version with an optimized content database, a more sophisticated hardware interface, improve the mapping methodology, work on the user interface and scale of the application to simpler devices such as cell phones and personal digital assistants.
