Activity 7.6 Design Brief (Apollo 13)



Activity 7.6 Design Brief (Apollo 13)

Client:
___________NASA____________
Designer:
_____Zaw Win@ George______
Problem Statement:
____One of the oxygen tanks blew apart due to electric spark. The team is forced to go to service module in order to survive. The service module is only designed to serve two people for a day and a half only. Moreover some of oxygen are being vented out into space. The carbon dioxide levels being raised to a certain point will start to cause poisoning.____
Design Statement:
_______Design and instruct the astronauts on board on improvising an oxygen filter.______
Design Criteria:
1.      ____Need to be able to filter three men's carbon dioxide___
2.      _____The carbon dioxide concentration must remain below 15%__
4.      ___Dimension need to be as required__


Design Constraints:
1.      _____Limited time before crew poisoned___
2.      __Quick to assemble___
3.      ___Easy to assemble__
4.      ___Materials need to able on spacecraft___
5.      ____Needs to fit through hole___
6.      ___Filter must work with service module___



Conclusion

1.      How does the short deadline to solve the problem affect the design solution?

The solution needs to be quick and easy to assemble. Moreover the solution need to be thought out quicker considering time required to relay information.

2.      Explain the importance of a design brief for this problem.

The design brief helps those working in space center find a target goal to achieve in order to bring back the astronauts safely home. The engineers and scientists are able to recognize constraints and criteria as well as conflicts regarding the design and spacecraft.

Activity 3.1b Linear Measurement with US Customary Units Procedure Conclusion 1.                   When you look at a drawing, how do you know if you are looking at U S Customary or SI measurements? Why is it important for an engineer to know this piece of information? US customary system has fractions. Moreover SI measurements are only in power of tens while US customary system is not. Engineers need to know this information or else they will end with the wrong measurements, which leads to  too little or too large designs.

Activity 5.5a CAD Model Features Part 1 Conclusion 1.          What 3D CAD functions could be used to create a wire coat hanger? We can use sweep after drawing line and circle for thickness of wire on a plane starting. 2.          For each of the following, sketch a 2D shape and an axis of rotation that you could use to model each of the following solid forms using the Revolve function within 3D modeling software. Dimension each sketch and indicate the axis of rotation that you would use. You may use software to check your answers. a.          A solid cylinder with a diameter of 3.5 in. and a height of 7 in. Be sure to dimension the shape. Dotted line is axis of rotation. b.          A solid sphere using the Revolve function. What rotation angle would you use? ...
