We have included mostly everything we've learned/done from Week 1 to Week 8 into our final report and presentation of lycopene extraction. All of our experimental conclusions are as follows:•…
This week, we wanted to redo the coffee:water ratio experiment with modifications. Instead of letting the volume of water used vary, we set the volume of water to 200 mL.…
Instead of conducting an experiment this week, we wanted to research more about our industrial process design (lycopene extraction) and expand our PFD from week 2. We also started preparing…
Midterm Oral Presentation: Filtration Method Experiment This week, we explored the different filtration methods that we could use to extract coffee. One filtration method was using coffee filter paper, while…
This week, we experimented which amounts of coffee and water go well together in order to produce the most coffee extract. We were also preparing for our first oral presentation…
This week, we conducted an experiment to determine what particle size of coffee results in the most efficient extraction. To vary the particle size of coffee, we adjusted the grind…
For week 3, we had to create the proposal for the experiments we will be conducting for the next few weeks. This served to give the purpose of the experiments…
For week 2, we had to set operating parameters for each of our equipment and relate it to coffee brewing. Below is our updated process flow diagram from week 1,…
