Diedrich IR-12 Series Roaster

Our client,Diedrich Manufacturing, proposed the design project to improve their IR-12 Roasters. Diedrich Manufacturing gives students the opportunity to demonstrate and further develop their engineering skills by challenging them to figure out the inner working of the Diedrich's IR-12 Series Roaster and make it more efficient.

Design Task
Mean Bean Consulting (MBC) Capstone project will be to work with Diedrich Manufactruing and their IR-12 Series Roaster. MBC will develop a computational model of the drum and heat exchangers to find the temperatures and volumetric flow rate and validate it using different apparatuses throughout the IR-12 roaster.

Goals:

 * 1) Model the heat exchanger and drum using solidworks
 * 2) Develop Computational model to determine Temperature throughout the IR-12.
 * 3) Use several different sensors that can handle heat in the range of 350-1000 degrees F
 * 4) Validate the Computational model with sensors

Data Collected
To comply with the confidentiality agreement with Diedrich the graph legends have been left out.
