Show moreInfrared heating is an effective method for surface pasteurization of shell eggs. As the external temperature reaches the inactivation temperature, internal temperatures could become great enough to denature albumen. However, the internal temperature of albumen at the shell cannot be measured directly. The purpose of this study is to use experimental data to understand the response of the albumen temperature at the shell to infrared radiation impinging at its outer surface. Fresh eggs were obtained from a local producer and refrigerated until needed. They were prepared for each experiment by overnight equilibration with ambient conditions. Each egg was placed on a metal stage over which an infrared lamp was positioned. The stage allowed a K-type thermocouple to be inserted through a small hole in the shell opposite of the shell area facing the lamp. The thermocouple was pushed into the egg such that the tip was against the inner surface of the shell just underneath the exposed area. The external temperature of this area was measured by an infrared pyrometer. Variables for these experiments were temperature of the IR lamp (277°C, 329°C, 391°C and 452°C), distance between shell egg and IR lamp (3.13 cm – 15.83 cm), and treatment time. All experiments share the same initial lag around 30s, suggested that the initial lag did not vary with changing of lamp-egg distances and lamp temperatures. After the initial lag, internal and external temperatures were found to increase at the same rate regardless of experimental parameters, indicating and equilibrium between the infrared energy impinging on the surface and its dissipation in the interior of the egg. The difference of temperature distributes between 10°C to 20°C. However, lowering lamp temperatures or increasing distances did not change this difference significantly. Moreover, the temperature gap sustains the same temperature after initial lag. The results showed that the internal temperature could be inferred via measuring external temperature. This is valuable in processing to maximize external surface temperature while protecting heat sensitive albumen. Future work will involve modeling the heating phenomenon to determine if knowing only the lamp temperature and distance is sufficient for predicting internal temperature.

Show moreBy refashioning the design and programmatic use of an offshore oil rig into a luxury hotel for ecotourists, a new age of responsible travel may emerge. By twisting the symbol of oil dependency into an ecologically preserved, environmentally accountable and revenue-producing prototype, the ideals of reuse, energy and environment can be viewed through a new lens. This design creates interesting and innovative living spaces and environments aided by sustainable integrations to create a “living machine” that establishes connections between all building systems as well as inhabitant inputs and outputs resulting in an energy independent habitat.

Show moreUsing the sample of Au + Au collisions at 200 GeV generated by the AMPT with string melting model, the anisotropic amplitudes of azimuthal distributions of total transverse momentum, mean radial (transverse) momentum, and multiplicity are first presented and compared. It shows that the azimuthal distribution of mean radial momentum well characterizes the radial expansion. So a measurement of the azimuthal distribution of mean transverse (radial) rapidity of final state particles is suggested. We further show that the isotropic part of the suggested distribution is the combination of isotropic radial expansion and thermal motion. The anisotropic amplitude characterizes the anisotropic radial flow, and coincides with the parameter of anisotropic radial flow rapidity extracted from a generalized blast-wave parametrization.

Show moreThe overall conflict that IPRO 313 is trying to resolve is the dependency on oil as a fuel source for automotive vehicles. Along with the global and financial concerns that go along with oil as a fuel source, there has been growing interest in electric vehicles. Electric vehicles are the competitive issue that IPRO 313 has researched, investigated, and is working to resolve. Currently, most electric vehicles run on lithium batteries. The problems associated with these vehicles are the recharge time and service station compatibilities. The most popular electric vehicle is the Testla Roadster, which has a driving distance of approximately 270 miles per full charge. Although this is an adequate driving distance, it takes six to eight hours for a full charge. This amount of charge time is a vital drawback for electric vehicles. The vast majority of service stations are not electric vehicle friendly. Gas stations do not and have not set up areas for electric battery pack replacement, or vehicle charge. Withou

As the University seeks to assert itself as a member of the top tier of academic institutions in the U.S., there are many ideas for improvement up for implementation. Among these ideas is the goal to make IIT the most sustainable, urban university campus in the United States. IPRO 326 (“A Greener IIT”) is based upon the idea that in order to accomplish this, we must improve the sustainability of IIT’s main campus landscape.

Together architects and engineers will modify and re analyze a structure created by pervious designers, and select any new materials for construction. In creating the hotel students will be responsible for the structural analysis of columns, beams, foundation, steel, and concrete design required to insure all serviceability requirements. The students will be required to follow the 2006 International Building Code, and secure the safety of all possible occupants. Management, leadership, ethics, and teamwork will be an integral part of building a large scale structure as students learn to work together on a “real life” project.
