Section 7 Action Plan

The action plan for this project is described in the table below.

Objectives Actions Responsibility

Proposal Phase Work as a group to compose Project Team
an effective proposal based Member
on the requirements.
Analyze the machine Thermal

and search for any Engineer
improvement the analyst
could possibly make.
Project Team Review I 1. Review the budget Project Team
approved by the Member
committee.
2. Review the action plan if
any necessary changes
need to be made.

2. Add thermal paste
between the steel and
the specimen to reduce
thermal contact
resistance.
3. Make the surface of the
specimen really smooth
to avoid air gap when
attaching it to the steel.
Assemble the 1. Assemble a lower heat Thermal

cylindrical heat insulator.
2. Install graphite in the
inside surface of the
insulator. Graphite has
high thermal conductivity
allowing the temperature
distribution to be
persistent within main

3. Measuring the heat loss
from the main body of
the insulation.
