Project Description
Our project is about producing urea by using sustainable technologies. Ammonia is needed to produce urea; however, it is supplied by the Haber-Bosh Process, which is not a sustainable process. For our production of urea, we are using ammonia produced via an electro-catalysis of water and reacting that with N2. We are also using CO2 from a sustainable ethanol plant.

Project Description
This project will utilize CO2 from ethanol plants in Nebraska and convert it into methanol and acetic acid, two important commodity chemicals. Hydrogen, also needed to produce these chemicals, will be generated through the electrolysis of water. To offset the power used by the process, the installation of renewable wind and solar energy sources are incorporated into the design. The process was designed, simulated, and optimized using Aspen Plus. Emphasis was placed on increasing ecological sustainability while maintain economic feasibility.

Project Description
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is the world’s third most produced plastic polymer. Currently, PVC is commonly plasticized using phthalates. Recent studies on phthalate esters (PAEs) show that PAE exposure has damaging effects on the environment. They represent a risk for aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems and have serious health impacts on humans.

To solve this problem, an environmentally friendly and non-toxic PVC plasticizer will be synthesized from a CO2-based polycarbonate as a substitute for phthalates. Additionally, depending on market demand, polypropylene carbonate can be produced and sold. Aspen was used to determine the economic and environmental sustainability of the process by utilizing energy analysis and optimization tools within the program.

Project Description
Dimethyl ether (DME) is a synthetically derived colorless gas that can be used as an alternative source of fuel for diesel engines. DME combined with biodiesel can promote sustainability by reducing carbon emissions due to a relatively high oxygen content compared to other market diesel fuels.

This design project aims to curate a process through which DME can be efficiently and sustainably produced using spent coffee ground biomass as a hydrogen source. Spent coffee grounds will be obtained through decentralized procurement across the United States. The gasification of biomass to produce hydrogen yields 2423.68 kg/hr of hydrogen. Methanol synthesis yields 26,934 kg/hr of methanol and final DME synthesis yields 13684.41 kg/hr of DME.

Current global warming potential for this process, determined through a CO2 equivalency calculation, is 25.84 kg/s.

Project Description
There is an increasing focus on reducing waste, carbon emissions, and using more renewable feedstocks. In the industrial sector, the chemical subsector consumes the largest amount of oil and gas and is the third-largest direct carbon emitter. One solution to this problem is designing processes based on a bioeconomy that utilize renewable feedstocks. Through the use of the latest technologies and computer-aided design, we propose a specialty chemical biorefinery based on a bioeconomy.

Our process utilizes a feedstock of lignocellulose, such as corn stovers, to produce a main product of 1,4-butanediol and specialty chemical byproducts including succinic acid, gamma-butyrolactone, and tetrahydrofuran. The process utilizes lignocellulose by extracting fermentable sugars and producing succinic acid through fermentation. The succinic acid is converted to our products through a hydrogenation reaction using green hydrogen followed by a series of separation processes. This project aims to minimize waste and the usage of water, solvents, and energy through rigorous energy and separation process optimization.

The economic and sustainability analysis of our process was also assessed through feasibility analysis.

Project Description
We are building a Fourier transform infrared-range ellipsometer utilizing dual rotating anisotropic mirrors, resulting in a Mueller matrix characterization of a selected sample. A computer will interface with the infrared spectrometer, which will emit infrared light into our light path where it will reflect off a sample, enter our light path again, and be measured. The anisotropic mirrors are a simple way of polarizing light since light bounces off differently depending on its orientation.

We will be using two brushless-DC motors and 14-bit encoders using field-oriented control to rotate the mirrors. The computer will also control the motors through our motor-control hardware. Two STM32 microprocessors will be used, one in the motor control scheme, and another to acquire data from the spectrometer and send it commands. We are also using a goniometer to control the angle at which the infrared light hits the sample, so that the spectral range can be obtained across a range of angles.

Project Description
Kobe Can is a semi-autonomous motorized trash can system. It actively scans the environment for thrown trash. When a piece of trash is detected, the motorized trash can will move to catch whatever was thrown at it, within a 6-foot diameter.

There are two parts to the Kobe Can: the motorized base and the overseer.

The motorized base consists of four DC motors, two drill batteries in parallel to drive the base, 3 encoder wheels to determine the position, and an RP2040 microcontroller for the brains of the operation. The trash can sits on top of this robot and is able to move in any direction to catch the flying trash.

The overseer consists of a depth-sensing camera (Intel RealSense D435). This component will allow the Kobe Can to determine a standardized flying object (yellow stress ball) amongst background noise and determine the intersection point. Python and OpenCV are being used to locate the ball and determine its projected trajectory. There will be communication between the trash receptacle and the overseer so the base will be able to receive the correct coordinates and move to the proper location. This communication will be done by an NRF24l01 module integrated into both the overseer and the base module.

Together, the motorized base and the overseer allow for the Kobe Can to detect and intercept a flying piece of trash. So, the next time you throw something away, say “Kobe … Can.”

Project Description
One significant struggle that rural farmers face regarding recycling is the sustainable disposal of the large plastic grain storage bags. These plastic bags are generally contaminated with dirt, mud, rocks, grain, and other particles that make the material unrecyclable. Our mission is to design a mobile mechanical device that will remove contaminating particles from the plastic grain storage bags, leaving a maximum of 5% contamination, effectively converting the bags into a recyclable material.

Project Description
The project focuses on designing and constructing a table that accommodates a hip-stretching attachment which will assist patients who have limited mobility with hip abduction and adduction. The hip-stretching device is a continuation of a previous design from last year, but a separate table was constructed due to the high volume of patients using the stretching table from the previous project. The table and stretching attachment were designed so that a user may transfer easily from their wheelchair to the table with little-to-no assistance.

Additionally, the means of controlling the hip-stretching machine were designed with the intention to be usable by all people, including those who may not have full use of both hands. The device could be operated solely by the user, but in practice it would be preferred to have a trainer present during use. Key features of this project include an adjustable backrest, emergency stop, easy operation via a joystick, and a sliding drawer to allow for storing the device while not in use. The design of the table and hip-stretching device have been analyzed and tested to ensure proper functionality.

Project Description
The purpose of the project is to design, build, and test a chemical dispenser that can repeatedly dispense viscous materials accurately and precisely. The customer's current manufacturing process relies on hand pouring of materials from their packaging containers into a mixing vessel. This method can not only be unreliable but unpleasant.

Accuracy is important for the application these chemicals are used for and keeping the dispensing method as clean as possible is essential. The fabrication of this dispenser required sufficient knowledge in the fields of fluid mechanics, material science, electronics, programming, and manufacturing.

Project Description
It is unfortunately common for student athletes to not receive the proper rehabilitative care for concussions, and even if they do receive the proper care, it is likely that the athlete will drop their treatment regimen. The team was tasked to create an application suite to aid the UNL CAVE Lab in assigning treatment plans to athletes and ensuring that athletes would complete these plans.

To facilitate this, the team worked on three deliverables – a Web-based application for CAVE Lab staff to enter athletes into the system, assign them exercises, and monitor their progress through their assigned treatments – and two mobile applications (one for Android and one for iOS) for use by athletes to perform their exercises and rate their symptoms during those exercises.
