I just completed my third year of at Rowan University, and I thought I would share my latest engineering clinic project...A lot of work went into this thing.

This was a first year project, so my team of 3 had no background on combustion theory or nano particle creation. We had to design and construct a facility for manufacturing nano particles, and we came up with this co flow burner. This facility is unique because it is portable (only 20" tall), and the delivery system for the particles is attached under the burner.

This was a full semester course worth 2 credits!...2.5 hour class twice a week. Everything was built at Rowan by me and one other of my team members(he just got a firebird btw). 76 machine hours went into the facility alone.

The chamber shown on the lower portion gets inert gas pumped through it, which becomes saturated in the liquid precurser(to make nanoparticles) inside. It then exits the chamber and gets forced up to the top stack of tubes where the flame is produced. The layers of the top stacked tubes put out an oxider, fuel(methane), and a shroud gas(nitrogen) to contain the oxidizer/fuel mixture. Basically a pimped out bunsen burner for controlling gas mixtures.

Pics worked for me...but I think I fixed them?

Looks ridiculous, as I was reading I was very confused until you got to pimped out Bunsen burner and it all made sense!

A lot of nice fabrication is involved in that peice, congrats on the work.

If you like toast smoked in chlorine gas

hey! dont knock it till you try it....

Did you CNC all those parts or were they done via mill or custom order from a machine shop?

very cool build hope all the hours put into it are now worth its finished product

very nice project. Would love to see it in action.

For my senior engineering project, our team created an active suspension system using hydraulics. I understand the fabrication time necessary.

The block was both CNC and mill. Everything was machined at rowan by me and one other teammate.

That sounds like a cool project. At the beginning of each semester, about 40 different projects are pitched and you have to sign up for one. So basically you do as much as can be done in the time, then hand it off to the next team. Unfortunately I wont get to see this actually doing what it was built for, just the test runs we put it through.

What kind of CNC mills does rowan have. Looks real neat and a fun project

looking good,what kind of degree are you in for, mechanic engineering?
Does it do smores?
