Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the challenges of identifying significant problems related to industrial strainers for a final year mechanical engineering project. Participants explore potential issues, existing solutions, and avenues for further investigation within the field of strainers.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses difficulty in finding substantial problems related to industrial strainers that could serve as a basis for a project.
  • Another participant suggests investigating manufacturers' websites for features that indicate existing problems that have been addressed.
  • A participant identifies cleaning as a potential issue but notes the existence of self-cleaning strainers, questioning the significance of this problem for a project.
  • Another participant encourages further exploration of the field, highlighting the variety of strainers available and the potential for innovative solutions.
  • A participant mentions that the project was suggested by a manufacturer, indicating a possible source of insights into the challenges and developments in the field.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the existence of significant problems within the field of strainers. Some suggest that there are areas for improvement, while others express doubt about the viability of certain issues as project topics.

Contextual Notes

Participants acknowledge the presence of existing solutions, such as self-cleaning strainers, which may limit the scope of potential problems to explore. There is also a suggestion to seek guidance from a professor or manufacturer for further clarification.

Who May Find This Useful

This discussion may be useful for mechanical engineering students seeking project ideas related to industrial strainers, as well as professionals interested in the challenges and innovations in strainer technology.

I really need huge help on this. I have been suggested analyzing industrial stariners as a final year mechanical engg. project. However my project would require finding out existing problem/s in the element under analyses and I am not able to find any single problem (i.e. huge enough for a project) that i can give a solution to as an engineer. So please help.

Where have you looked so far? What companies manufacture such systems? From reading at their websites, do they list "features" that suggest they have had to overcome problems?
 
The only problem i found out so far from most strainers is their cleaning. However there are already online strainers, the ones that can be cleaned while under operation, and some automatically cleaning strainers as well. I am doubtful if this would be an area huge enough to explore.
 
Ritz_physics, you may have underestimated the field that was suggested for your analysis project. When I used these search terms in Google: "automatic strainer self cleaning" I found many different types of filters and strainers in many different applications. There must be areas for improved systems and for innovative solutions yet to be discovered. Furthermore, it's clear there is a large market for these products because there are so many large corporations designing, manufacturing, and selling them. Perhaps you could speak with your professor who suggested the analysis and ask for some clarification and or guidance for your project.

Actually i was suggested this project by a person who is a manufacturer of strainers. I will speak with him regarding the possible developments in this field. Thanks a lot Sir! You really boosted my confidence.
