This project was completed during the spring semester of my Sophomore year for Engineering Thermodynamics.
The purpose of this design project was to give student teams a chance to use the fundamentals learned during a first course in thermodynamics, in developing a preliminary design for an ice making facility. The project required student teams to engage in entrepreneurial minded learning (EML), exercising curiosity, making connections, and creating value.
The design objective was to create an ice making machine that could produce 100 kg of ice in 12 hours using a refrigeration cycle. The refrigeration cycle contained one compressor, one condenser, one throttling valve, and one evaporator.
