    The document describes the design of an oil skimming robot with the following objectives: 1) To design an oil separator robot that extracts oil from the ocean's surface using mechanical methods instead of chemicals. 2) The robot will use a drum coated with polyurethane foam to adsorb oil from the water as it rolls across the surface. 3) The initial design was improved based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and structural analysis, resulting in a final design that is optimized to effectively separate and extract oil from marine spills.

    DESIGN OF OIL

    SKIMMING ROBOT

    Guide  Akash Vijay


    Prof Ernest Markose Mathew Amar Mohammed
    Christo M George
    Jeff Mathew Joseph
    OBJECTIVE
    The main objective of this project is to propose an effective oil skimmer
    that ensures:

    ▪ To design an oil separator robot, with no chemical methods of extraction


    of oil from the ocean surface.

    ▪ To create an extracting mechanism and to fabricate.

    1
    METHODOLOGY
    ▪ Detailed study on oil extraction method from marine spills.
    ▪ Build skills on modeling software (Solidworks2020).
    ▪ Sketching the modular design of skimmer on Solidworks & modify if
    needed.
    ▪ Acquire basic skills on Ansys.
    ▪ Conduct CFD & Structural analysis of the proposed designs.
    ▪ Study the results and modify the design (if needed).
    ▪ Fabrication of the working model and testing

    extraction rate
    PVC pipe 10mm(dia)x 300 mm
    BLDC Motor (with gear 10 RPM (with gear reduction) For drum operation
    reduction)

    OIL REMOVAL CALCULATION
        As we are considering  polyurethane foam coated in silane for the purpose of oil removing. The
    adsorption of oil in a marine environments is depended on  many factors like
         Nature of adsorbent, Surface area, Wakes & Currents, Porosity 
         In this scenario we are only considering only 10% efficiency in oil adsorbing capacity 

    So oil removed by a roller  is given by,


    Oil recovered = 2πrl  * πD(N/60)  *  0. 1
    =  (2*π*0.1*0.3)*(π*0.2*(10/60))*0.1
    =  (0.1885)*(0.1047)*0.1
    =   1.973x10-3 m3/s  
    =   1.973 ltr/s (from a roller)

    for  4 rollers  =  4 * 1.973 ltr/s


    =  7.895 ltr/s

    ANALYSIS
    ▪ Structural Analysis of Oil collecting buckets
     Bucket material :  Poly Vinyl Chloride
     Mesh size :   8mm 
     Skewness :  0.47
     Aspect ratio :  2.25

    Deformation Contour with maximum  deflection 0.352mm  Stress Contour  of buckets 9


    Fluent Analysis
     Fluid : Water
     Vessel velocity : 1 m/s

    RESULT
     The preliminary and final design of the model is completed using
    Solidworks.
     MARK 2 design undergone turbulence and vorticity analysis in Ansys
    Fluent.
     Stress analysis done over oil collecting buckets.
