Water Subsystem Weight Analysis (Bryan Costanzo)
Pressure Exerted on Supporting 2x4 by Water Tank
Source: http://www.woodworkweb.com/woodwork-topics/wood/146-wood-strengths.html
•Based on this source, the ultimate compression strength of pine perpendicular to the wood’s grain for pine is 470 psi
Equation: F/A < 470 psi
P = F/A = F/(t*w)
w = width of area that force is applied t = thickness of area that force is applied
F = force applied by water tank P = pressure applied to 2x4
Pressure Calculation:
P = (55 lb)/((3.5 in)*(23 in)) = 0.683 psi
0.683 psi < 470 psi
- Maximum pressure caused by water tank is below the maximum working pressure of a pine 2x4.

𝐹 = 3.12𝑙𝑏𝑓
The actuator chosen was selected because we need 12” of movement to lift
the door completely, don’t require a large lifting force, have a 12V DC source and
want it to take 4-8 seconds for the chicken’s safety. The actuator has a 12”
stroke, runs on 12V DC, has a lifting force of 22.5lbf, has a speed of 1.57 in/sec,
and also has a locking force of 225lbf that will eliminate the need of adding a
locking mechanism to keep predators from opening the door.

An optimum ambient temperature of 50⁰F was found, with a
cooling time of 5.3 hours.
The cooling rate required was calculated based on the rate of heat leaving the
storage box through conduction.
Assumptions:
Temperature differential between outer and inner wall = 50⁰F
Surface area = 5.70 ft2
Equation 1 is the heat rate equation based on a thermal resistance.
𝑞 =
𝐴∆𝑇

And
𝑅 =

(2)
For k = 0.25 BTU in/hr ft2, and t = 0.5 in, R = 2 hr ft2/BTU. Using this value in
Equation 1 gives a cooling rate of 41.8 W. A peltier air cooler with a 52 W
cooling rate was selected.

Acting over the cross sectional area 𝐴 results in a pressure of 320𝑝𝑠𝑖
which is below the compressive strength of wood perpendicular to the
grain, therefore the wood will not yield.
