Increasing energy efficiency of milk product batch sterilisation
(2018-09-07)
The food industry is a large energy consumer and most heat demands in food processing are low-temperature. The aim of this study is to develop and simulate innovative retrofits or redesigns that unlock the heat recovery potential of industrial batch sterilisation processes. The case study focuses on the whey cream process, although the method and results apply to similar batch sterilisation processes. The initial situation is compared to energy efficient designs based on “Energy Storage” and “Rescheduling”. Using a ...

Verbesserung der Produktqualität durch eine frühe Anforderungsvalidierung mithilfe der virtuellen Realität
(Otto-von-Guericke-Universität, Fakultät für Maschinenbau, 2015)
If features meet customer requirements to 100%, one speaks about quality. In the context of the requirement identification various methods are used to generate the conscious customer requirements. Hidden (unconscious) customer requirements are not taken into account. From collected customer requirements, however, the later features can be derived. Therefore, in the developed product it often comes to a deviation from the characteristics required by the customer. Any deviation results in a lower product quality. The ...

Structured Eyetracking-based Requirements Validation with the Help of Virtual Prototypes
(INEGI/Faculdade de Engenharia Universidade do Porto, 2017)
Customer requirements form the basis of every product development project. Incomplete requirements and lack of involvement of customers are the main factors for the failure of a product at the buyer's market (Hull et al. 2011). The Quality Function Deployment (QFD) describes a common method for translating customer requirements into product features. For this purpose, the QFD provides various matrices for the prioritization and quantification of the requirements, through the various phases of the product development. ...

A Comparison Study of Liquid Natural Rubber (LNR) and Liquid Epoxidized Natural Rubber (LENR) as the Toughening Agent for Epoxy
(2013)
Rubber-toughened epoxy resins were prepared using the mechanical stirring method and molded into samples by compression molding. The aim of this study is to modify the brittleness of the epoxy matrix by adding discrete rubbery phases to improve the toughness properties. Liquid natural rubber (LNR) and liquid epoxidized natural rubber (LENR) were used as toughening agents in the epoxy resin to compare the properties of the modified networks. The mechanical and thermal properties have been studied to observe the effect ...

Fabrication and characterization of ethylene–octene copolymer composites with ionic liquid functionalized carbon nanotubes
(2017-10-16)
Modification of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) by means of imidazolium ionic liquid (IL) was performed. Structural characterization of funtionalized nanofillers (IL-f-MWCNTs) was made by means of Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. MWCNTs and IL-f-MWCNTs were introduced within ethylene octane copolymer (EOC) with octene co-monomer content of 17% by using the masterbatch approach. The efficiency of the carbonaceous nanofiller distribution within the polymer matrix was characterized by means ...

Anforderungsvalidierung unter Nutzung echtzeit simulierter virtueller Prototypen zur Verbesserung der Produktqualität
(FAU University Press, 2017)
Im Rahmen der Anforderungsermittlung werden verschiedene Methoden, wie Befragungs‐ und Beobachtungstechniken eingesetzt, um die bewussten Kundenanforderungen zu erfassen. Verborgene (unbewusste) Kundenanforderungen werden dabei meist nicht berücksichtigt. Aus erhobenen Kundenanforderungen lassen sich z.B. mit einer QFD die späteren Produktmerkmale ableiten. Aufgrund der unscharfen Kundenanforderungslage kommt es bei dem entwickelten Produkt oft zu einer Abweichung von den vom Kunden gewünschten Eigenschaften. Jede ...

Crack path predictions in fiber reinforced composites
(2017-09-06)
Composite materials exhibit beneficial features compared to conventional engineering material, e.g. a comparable strength and a reduced weight at the same time. To fully exploit these beneficial properties within technical structures, fracture mechanical concepts must be taken into account. The global fracture behavior in composite materials is related to the local delamination at interfaces between matrix and inclusion as well as the local fracture behaviors of the constituents. Because of their structure, the global ...

Mechanical properties of hybrid glass/kenaf fibre-reinforced epoxy composite with matrix modification using liquid epoxidised natural rubber
(2015-04-27)
The hybridisation of natural fibre with glass fibre provides a method to improve the mechanical properties instead of using the natural fibres alone. This research is focused on the hybridisation of glass/kenaf fibre with the addition of liquid epoxidised natural rubber to enhance the desired mechanical properties of the composite by reducing the synthetic fibre usage and encourage the natural fibre consumption. Liquid epoxidised natural rubber was added to the epoxy matrix in order to improve its mechanical properties ...
