thisevent came, in part, from Suffolk’s partners in the power industry who are in need of recentgraduates to replace their aging workforce, and from the knowledge that new and renewablesources of electric power are becoming more important, and that the current aging system ofpower generation and delivery needs to be overhauled. This event is part of an NSF S-STEMgrant awarded on January 1st 2014 to Suffolk’s EE program to encourage students from BostonPublic High Schools, who are predominantly from underrepresented groups, to study EE and tobe exposed to the power industry. The event was held the day after spring semester finalexaminations, allowing Suffolk EE students to present demos of renewable electricitygeneration, to lead high school

Optimization ResultsFrom these charts, conclusions were drawn that for a speed of 2.5 mph (1.2 m/s), the maximumvelocity increase will come from a 25° angle and the largest feasible outlet area.4.4 Preliminary Shroud TestingThe current testing setup measures free stream velocity but not velocity within the shroud, so adirect assessment of velocity increase is not possible. However, testing does show increasedpower output from shrouded geometry that can be compared to unshrouded tests to determineand “effective” velocity to see what speed is necessary to produce the same power without ashroud.To further confirm CFD predictions, three different shroud sizes were tested: 20°, 25°, and 30°.All had an outlet area to inlet area ratio of four

SolidWorks Flow Simulation was performed using thefollowing estimated parameters:  Velocity 1m/s  Fan swirl 2rad/s  Turbulence intensity 5%  Turbulence length 0.0254m.These parameters and the physical model require refinement based on both measured data andboundary conditions. In SolidWorks, one boundary condition that is pre-programmed for the useris a fan. However, initial experience with this boundary condition indicates that there may not bea convenient way to simulate the rather large center hub area of the real condenser unit fan thathas no blade surface and does have a vacuum. This might be simulated by working on theaccuracy of the fan swirl estimate and by either putting a blocking plate in the center of the fanopening in
