Diedrich IR-12 Series Roaster

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 pressure, humidity, temperature, 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 350-800 degrees F
 * 4) Validate the Computational model with sensors
