Draft 1*

(Submission on 17-Nov 2000hrs)

General Guidelines.
 Tell us your software for design.
 Explain Inputs and outputs of your simulation.
o Graphs/trends.
 Give reference to relevant theory.
 State your assumptions and limitations resulting from them.
 Approach for answering final design questions (mentioned below)
 Safety features and fail safe mechanisms.
 Submit report (word file).

Note: Team Leaders are advised to call meetings and distribute their tasks (Provide Work Break Down
