Project Overview ● Design a Dual-Bore Oil Debris Monitoring (ODM) System Used in both commercial and military ○ airplanes ○ Detects ferrous and non-ferrous material within turbine Monitors wear and tear ○ Provides an alert/warning of failure of ● mechanical components ○ Gears, bearings, pumps, & etc.

Problems with Current Single-Bore Design ● Unable to detect smaller debris When Bore size is increased ○ ■ Pressure decreases ■ Size of particle detection decreases ○ When Bore size is decreased Pressure increases ■ Size of particle detection increases ■

Requirements & Specifications ● ODM sensors in parallel Study magnetic field interactions ● ○ Characteristics of dual bore ○ Sizing, and configuration Design and build the Dual-Bore ODM system ● ○ Ability for particle detection ○ Optimize the design of a multi-bore ODM System Configuration Advanced indication of Component failure ○ Build, Test and Analyze physical model ●

Constraints Issues with interaction between magnetic fields ● How we combat the interaction: ○ ■ Changing distance between ODM systems ■ One coil wound to the right the other to the left Magnetic Shield in between the ODM ■ systems ● Operation under extreme conditions ● Pressure in oil passageway ○ Large diameter required

Approach ● Build multiple magnetic field assemblies and configurations Use of PVC Piping as flow passage ○ Use of different sizes copper wiring for the coils ○ ○ Validate models ○ Optimal configuration ● Determine optimal coil placement to minimize or leverage interference

Design Ideas ● Using Hall Effect Sensor ● Using Sensing Coil
