The proposals consist of 12×2U and 3×3U CubeSats for a total of 33U. Proposed mission payloads include astronomy, space radiation, quantum magnetometer, GNSS reflectometry, virtual reality cameras, geological samples and Inuit culture promotion to name a few. The completed CubeSats are scheduled to be launched from ISS in 2022. CCP is the first project undertaken by CSA that involves student participation from every part of the country. CSA recognized that the success of the project depends on the knowledge base of the students. In the project implementation, CSA devised multiple approaches in knowledge sharing and transfer. This paper discusses the outcomes of these approaches. The paper also touches upon some unforeseen challenges faced by the teams. The metrics to measure the success of CCP are not limited by the successful deployment of the CubeSat. They also include the number of HQP (highly qualified personnel) trained and the promotion of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) to students. In that aspect, this paper will illustrate the successful performance of CCP.","PeriodicalId":446767,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Canadian Mechanical Engineering.

The internal turbulent flow of these two salts is investigated to heat a part of a high-temperature heat exchanger which will be used in a sustainable thermochemical cycle for hydrogen production. Governing conditions for the high-temperature turbulent flow of molten salts are derived based on the previously published and thoroughly validated articles, applied on the geometry and boundary conditions of the single-bended pipe and then compared with well known, experimentally validated convective heat transfer correlations. This research shows that the bend causes an intense mixing in the flow due to separation. Induced turbulence affects the heat transfer downstream of the bend causing the Nusselt number and the friction factor to increase substantially. Overall, the heat transfer increases at the cost of an increased friction factor and the resultant pressure drops after the bend.

This shortage is generally attributed to the high number of discarded hearts and to the narrow six-hour time window currently available through the standard preservation method: static cold storage (SCS). An alternative method called ex-vivo heart perfusion (EVHP) maintains a human donor heart beating outside the body for the time preceding transplantation surgery. By keeping the heart working in a physiologically consistent way and monitoring its functions, the organ’s health can be assessed and the transplant time window can be extended. In order to improve and optimize the EVHP system, the present work aims to further investigate the relationship between pulsatile flow and compliance by assessing the effect of different compliant tubes on the upstream and downstream pressure and flow fields. Hence, silicone tubes of variable compliance, length, and geometrical shape were developed for this study — although only one sample has been tested so far, in addition to an experimental setup containing a hydraulic circuit analogous to the left flow loop of the EVHP system. The flow fields downstream of the compliant section are assessed using laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV). Findings will include novel visualizations of these flow fields as well as comparisons of pressure waveforms from an assortment of compliance conditions .","PeriodicalId":446767,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Canadian Mechanical Engineering.
