the project, the instructor began searching for prospective students. It was envisionedthat the project would offer a learning platform to students allowing them to generate novelmethods of applying energy conversion, while providing a practical result to the client.The laboratory background of this project was a 1/3 scale 1960’s style Ford Model T built byMcCullough Co, changed to Toro Co, then to Sharp Mini Cars. The charge given by the clientwas to convert the vehicle’s prime mover from gasoline to electrical using the design criteriaoutlined below:Hard Project Requirements • Retain original controls for Front, Neutral, and Reverse [F-N-R] using a lever on the left- hand side [LH] and the throttle which was a lever on right side of

opportunities for undergraduate laboratory instructionAbstract:This paper outlines a two-semester senior engineering design project that was carried out tostudy a moderately well-defined chemical reaction involving sodium borohydride in aqueousconditions to generate hydrogen for fuel cell applications. Sodium borohydride hydrolysis hasbeen studied extensively since the early 1940’s as a promising hydrogen storage material, whichprovides a content-rich study area for engineering design coursework and undergraduatelaboratory experiences related to energy, hydrogen, and energy storage potential. Throughout thetwo-semester project design course, a two-student engineering team carried out literature reviewsand bench work that lead them to investigate

Before the initial design(Figure 1) of the RE-Brake system was considered, calculations were made based on bikingstatistics and other energy data to determine how much energy could be gained from such a device.These calculations were done using a few pieces of information, primarily the energy lost when a73-kg person is riding a 10-kg bike at 4.4 m/s. The calculation was done using, 1 𝐸 = 𝑚𝑣 2 2where the mass would be the total of mass of the rider and the bike. The energy of this system wasfound to be about 803 joules, if

Figure 4.The controller must interface with the DC motors through an H-Bridge structure. A complexprogrammable logic device (CPLD) feeds the H-Bridge with two signals, S for activating themotor and D for the direction of the rotor movement. The duration of the signal S is calculatedbased on the amount of rotation required for every angular step and on the gear ratio selected forthe gear motor, and the panel-to-motor transfer gear ratio.Initially, once the location is selected, the azimuth angle range is determined with a tilt angle θcalculator, and the angular step value is subsequently set. The total number of tilt steps is 12 (6 ineach direction) for covering the whole calendar year. During the course of the year, the arraywill be tilted

that shading can not only inhibit the performance of the array, butcan cause power to be absorbed into shaded panels from non-shaded panels. The phenomenontermed hot-spot can occur when an imperfection in materials, flaws in fabrication, partial shadingor some form of damage to the panel(s) has occurred (Pandian, 2016).An important factor in the absorption of irradiance by PV panels is the state in which the solarfaced glass surface is maintained. Regular cleaning intervals are recommended and are usuallydetermined by both physical and geographic location of the array. Partial shading of PV panelsby foliage may exacerbate poorer performance due to organic material adhering to the glass suchas leaf debris, sap, or pollen. Airborne contaminants
