Show moreThe IPRO 337 team’s objectives for this semester are to make further progress in updating the top floor of Machinery Hall into a lab for future energy and lighting technology research. The research conducted this semester will help us transform the space into a more sustainable working environment. Since the ultimate goal is rather ambitious, our goal for this particular semester is to implement an energy plan which will become the basis off of which the future IPRO’s will continue towards the ultimate goal. We also intend to clear the space so that the developed plan can be tested.

Show moreA. The primary purpose of IPRO 317 is to prove the merit of using silver nanorods as a thermal history indicator. The extended purpose of IPRO 317 is to convert the production of silver nanorods from a batch process to a continuous flow process. B. To accomplish this our team will:  Gain deeper understanding of batch process.  Research continuous flow processes with an emphasis on microreactors 6  Design and simulate a continuous flow process for production of silver nanorods with the aid of a computer simulation software.

Show moreFinkl is an industrial steel manufacturer of custom, high quality steel parts for other industries (stamp molding for auto, aircraft landing gear, die steel for other manufactures, etc) The company performs the entire process from smelting the steel, casting and forging, heat treating, and machining of their parts. Currently in their heat treatment process at Finkl, approximately 10% of their parts that are below company quality standards. Finkl has no efficient way of tracking where specific parts are in relation to each other while in the furnace. So when a part comes out below standards, it is hard to trace back where that part was in the furnace and why it was not treated properly. Finkl has enlisted the help of IIT students, which plan to implement a software program that Finkl can use to create a virtual furnace with the parts that will be heat treated and their specific locations in the furnace. When parts come out below quality standards, the program would allow Finkl to examine the location of the parts within the furnace and determine the reason for sub-par quality. The previous semester IPRO was able to develop a software program that displayed the different Finkl shapes; however, the program only displays a single shape at a time without the ability to move or resize the shape. They were also able to model about half of the Finkl shape codes in ProE. . When a large number of parts fail, they must be retreated to meet company quality standards. Taking the time to retreat the process takes both time and money away from the company. If we can help to identify the cause of the heat treatment failure, this would save the company a large amount of money each year. To be able to determine the cause of the heat treat failure, the team hopes to develop a visual database of the furnace layout to help track parts location within the furnace.
