Agenda

• Feedback (expectations and priorities for review)• Review from systems design review• Solar cooker experiment• The selected design and key features• Construction plan• Thermal analysis of the design• Updated risk assessment and project plan going

into MSDII

Feedback We are Looking for from This Review

• Comments on selected design and material selection

• Pros and cons of the proposed test plan

• Compatibility of our ideas with Haiti

Problem Statement

• The primary objective of this project is to transform human waste into a safe to use fertilizer using renewable energy. The waste pasteurizer will be designed to meet the needs of a Haitian family (3-5 liters) while keeping the cost per unit under $50 USD.

The Selected Design• Cylindrical container for

waste handling inside another cylindrical container, using air as insulation

• Heated from direct sunlight to top and reflected light from side flaps

• Removable lid and inner container

• Temperature indicator tool sticking through the lid

The Selected Design

• Cross-Sectional View • Fully Assembled Unit

Test Plan

Bill of Materials

What is a WAPI

• Sight dependent• All parts submerged

in water• Need to take out and

flip over

The Modified WAPI Idea(iPooP)

• Touch dependent• No touching parts submerged in

waste• Spring loaded so wax won’t stick

Sealing MechanismLid design for use with latch• Grooves cut into tab of same

material as lid (acrylic) for latch to grab.

Possible Latches• Attach larger part to side of

outer bucket• Pull either from grooved tab

attached to lid or screw loop into side of lid and pull down from there.

Feasibility

• Solar irradiance data was collected from Puerto Rico using the average conditions by day for the past 40 years

• Determined how many days the minimum wattage was met for 5 hours

• Calculations show that 306 days will meet our needs

• Composition of Waste gathered from Appropriate Technology for Water Supply and Sanitation composed by World Bank in December 1980.

Steady State Thermal Analysis• Components of Analysis

– Outer bucket– Inner bucket– Air as insulation– Waste– Acrylic Lid

• Thermal Loads Applied– Insulated at axis of symmetry– Convection along outer

bucket side and bottom– Energy Applied to top surface

Results of Thermal Analysis

Waste between 62.35 and 71.17 °C

50W applied to top of lid: 60W applied to top of lid:

Waste between 69.42and 80.01 °C

Results of Thermal Analysis Continued

Waste between 60.55 and 71.64°C

75W applied to top of lid: • Using Concrete as

support/stand for inner bucket.– Requires a significant

amount more of energy to heat the waste to the desired temperature.

– Using kconcrete=0.1 W/mK
