Headphone stand

At least 10 iterations were conducted as the design evolved to reduce material costs and match the practical scenario as closely as possible.

I executed my design under the given constraints for poplar wood and PLA and challenged myself to create a design that is efficient and includes additional functionality.

Analysis of Honda GP160 Engine

The Honda GP160 Engine is a four-stroke engine, typically utilised in light-duty applications such as aerators, pressure washers and water pumps. Lior, N. & Rudy, G. J. (1988) identify the functions of a four-stroke engine to involve:

There were several assumptions made when researching information to appropriately estimate the materials and costs for each part name.

SensoBin: Smart Bin

This project initially aimed to develop an innovative solution that would encourage Tourism in East Africa.

After analysis and research on the pre-existing facilities at many hotels and nature reserves, the scope evolved to tackle a major issue that is prevalent across East Africa and in many places in the world: poor waste management.

Many locations still rely on the use of disposing all waste in landfills, which leads to overflows that pollute the environment and can cause significant damage or even death.

Through this, I developed skills in:

Contrail Prediction Algorithm

Temperature, humidity and pressure can be related to each other to aid the use of this theory: partial pressure is the measure of water particles present in air/vapour, and represents the tendency of a material to change into a gaseous state; saturation vapour pressure, specifically, is the partial pressure exerted by a vapour when in a state of equilibrium, where neither evaporation nor condensation occurs and the material stays in its current state. Humidity (φ) is the ratio of partial pressure (p) to the saturation vapour pressure.

φ = 100% ⋅ p / p_s

To obtain the saturation vapour pressure over water and ice, the Goff-Gratch model equation was used to derive these values, based on experimental use of the SAC, which these researchers regard as reliable formulae for calculating saturation vapour pressure.

D. P. Duda and P. Minnis (2009), as well as U. Schumann, use the Schmidt-Appleman Criterion (SAC) as one of the conditions required for contrail cirrus. The SAC computes a theoretical temperature threshold at which the mixture of the aircraft engine exhaust and the ambient air reaches saturation with respect to water.

The dataset originally used an interpreter algorithm to export and save each sample of data to an Excel file (Fig. 5). The original algorithm was improved by including functionality to loop over all files in a folder, thus fully automating the data acquisition phase etc. The refinement of the original algorithm required debugging and tracing, as many iterative functions were required for each column of the dataset.
