 HELLO👋WELCOME BACK TO OUR BLOG😆 for this week's practical we needed to us our knowledge that we had from practical 3. We needed to create a small game using cardboard. Hence we needed out knowledge on or cardboard joints. At first we all had different ideas on what game we could make. But we made a conclusion on one game which issssssss🥁🥁🥁 2-player PINBALL !!!!! We used the joineries of slots, gusset, tabs and flanges in order to make our game. we also brought some things from our own houses such as some loom bands, chopsticks, rubberbands, some pins 📌  to make our mechanisms for our shooters🚀 as well as our obstacles which will make the game more competitive  between both players✌. In order for the marble to move to the other side, we use our shooters made by pilling up several cardboard pieces 📦 in the same shape. We used the chopsticks, so that our shooters can move. We also added another chopstick piece at a certain distance away from the shooter💫 . Then we used

 HELLO AGAIN👋 WELCOME BACK TO OUR BLOG😀 This week we learnt about the Operating Principles and Mechanical Designs. We had some activities that we did in class, so scroll down to see our discoveries we have made on the way 👇👇. OPERATING PRINCIPLES📝:  All device, apparatus and equipment are based on working principles that are either mechanical, electrical, chemical or magnetism. just like how the separating princes of distillation and liquid-liquid extraction(LLE) is the difference in relative volatilities and how a solute can distribute itself in a certain ratio between 2 immiscible solvents. some examples that are around us are: brewing coffee involves the leaching of coffee solubles and the air lift pump (such as one in the coffee maker) works on the principle of buoyancy.   We had a small activity based on what principles used in our chemical product, using paper waste as fuel, is based on? Our brainstormed ideas are down below so take a look 👀👇 Thermal process (heat exchange

HELLO👋WELCOME BACK TO OUR BLOG!! So this week, since the restrictions had been loosened, we got to do our practical 3 at the SP campus in our FAB LAB.✌ PRACTICAL 3🏫 This practical is to learn the fundamental techniques and tools that are needed to start building carboard structures and mechanisms which are useful when prototyping😲.  One of the best ways to gain insights in a chemical product design is to carry out some form of prototyping👷. Prototyping involves producing an early🕕, inexpensive💸, and scaled down version of the product so that any problems with the current design can be seen💬. Prototyping offers designers the opportunity to bring their ideas to life, test the practicability of the current design, and to potentially investigate how a sample of users think💭 and feel about a product🙋. We also took many photos📸 so that it will be easier to visualize so scroll down!!!👇👇 PRE-PRAC PREP📃 Before our official lab session, we had to do a brief literature search about a

Hello ⚈₃⚈ Welcome back to our Blog❤ This week we did Product Development part 2, which is peer-teach the topics we were assigned to and do a 5 mins presentation to share with the class. The main focus is 3D Printing. We have learnt about DIGITAL FABRICATION which has become an important enabling technology in the chemical engineering industry. What is Digital Fabrication? Able to quickly make WHAT you need WHEN you need it Good for PROTOTYPING 👇👇 It allows a physical evaluation of the design as well as perform a functional testing before a productional run. it also allows identify and remove errors. Good for END USE parts as well👇👇 It extends the lifespan of older equipment by printing obsolete parts as well as allows reverse-engineering spare parts. it customizes high value or low volume end-use production. Some examples given by our teachers are: 1. UNIVERSITY OF CONNECITCUT(UConn ): chemical engineering students developed a prototype of an artificial kidney that makes use of 3D
