TRIZ Part 2
- 1. MyTriz Competition 2012 Part 2
- 2. Question Part 2: (contribute 25% to the total score) • There is a transport system where a pipe is used to transport material which is wood based using water as medium of transportation. The pipe is 1 meter long. After 1 month of operation, it was found that the pipe was leaking and on further investigation, it was found that the material (which was being transported) was rubbing and knocking onto the insides of the pipe. This caused a damage which then resulted in a water leak in the pipe. – Boundary conditions: – The pipe material cannot be changed – The medium of transportation i.e. water cannot be changed – The mode of operation i.e. the transport system for the material cannot be changed
- 3. Typical problem solving process flow
- 4. Problem Statement • The pipe was leaking as the material (wood based) was rubbing and knocking onto the insides of the pipe while transporting the material using water as medium of transportation.
- 5. Benefits and/or impact if problem is solved • Material can be transported without interrupting and the pipe does not leak.
- 7. Identify the TRIZ tools used and why it is being used • TRIZ 40 design principles can be suitably used because there is an engineering contradiction on the problem which this principle can lead to various applicable answers
