Lockheed Martin: Future Submarine Program

In 2019 Masters of Teaching students from the University of South Australia, meet with

representatives from Lockheed Martin Australia and developed a STEM Unit of Work. The

intent of this unit of work is to enable students to investigate elements of submarine design,

prototype and test their designs using Computer Aided Design (CAD) and 3D Print

components.

We would like to thank Lockheed Martin Australia for their time and input into this unit of

work.

Learn to design a submarine!

In this STEM unit of submarine, the students are incorporating the scientific concepts learned

in the following lessons and design a 3-D model of submarine.

Sequence of lessons: Teaching hours: 24 (2x2 hours lesson per week for 6 weeks)

Week 1: Submarine shape investigation

The context of this lesson is a practical investigation to discover a suitable shape that can

submerge and rise at a speed safe enough for the scientists inside the submarine.

• Test different shapes to compare how they fall through the water

• Explain the effects of shape on the speed while descending

• Explain how differences in gravitational and resistive forces affect descent of an object.

Week 2: Submarine Buoyancy investigation

• Role of buoyant forces acting on an object (submarine) submerged in water

• How submarines are controlled in floating and submerged conditions

• Role of various forces and Archimedes’ Principle (using mathematical equations) in

submarine operation

• Model a neutrally buoyant submarine. Real submarines use Ballast tanks to adjust their

weight to help them rise and dive. Mathematical determination of how much weight

needs to be added to make submarines neutrally buoyant.

Week 3: Submarine Pressure

• Effect of external pressure on submarines

• Maintenance of suitable pressure inside submarine to maintain its speed and depth in

the deep sea

Investigation Task:

Neutrally buoyant- weight equal to the weight of water it displaces. Further, buoyancy is related to forces: For a submerged object, it is neutrally buoyant when force of gravity equals upthrust force. Therefore, I N of water needs to be displaced by 1N object Teacher revisits Archimedes’ principle discussed in previous lesson and explains the principle of neutral buoyancy behind floating objects. Floating object can be made neutrally buoyant by increasing its weight until its weight equals to the weight of water displaced, which further increases the overall density. Teacher to pair up the students for the investigation task and distribute the investigation task sheet and in those pairs collect the material they require which is already set up for them.

buoyant.

Resources:

Modelling clay (suggested), small masses, small coins

• Ping pong ball

• Tape if using coins or slotted masses

• Ice cream tub or another similar deep container

• Access to a digital balance

3. Add some weight using the clay to the ball (or by taping coins or weights to the ball). Test

to see if it continues to float.

4. If the ball sinks, remove some weight and try again. If the ball floats, add more weight.

5. The aim is to make the ball neutrally buoyant. This will be achieved when the ball is

maintaining a constant depth without sinking to the bottom.

6. Remove the ball once it is neutrally buoyant.

7. Take the weight of the added material on the balance. This will be used for calculations

later in the lesson.

Result:

The weight of the material added to the ping pong ball is:

Buoyancy Investigation: Task Sheet 2

How much weight do you need to add to the ping pong ball?

Step 1: What is the radius of your ball? (Teacher to determine the radius of the ball with the

help of vernier caliper)

Step 2: Use the formula given to calculate the volume of your ball.

Volume of Sphere = 4/3 πr3

Page 32: Lockheed Martin: Future Submarine Program€¦ · 360 software- instructions about designing a submarine model. Assessment: Diagnostic Assessment-Prior knowledge (PK) test about the

32

Step 3: According to Archimedes’ principle, this volume is equal to the volume of the water

displaced. Assuming this is correct, calculate the mass of the water (in kilograms) displaced

from the formula below:

Density = mass / volume

The density of water is 1000 kg/m3

Step 4: Calculate the weight of this water (in Newtons) using the formula below.

Weight = mass x gravitational field strength

Step 5: Using a formula from above, calculate the weight (N) of your ping pong ball.

Measure the mass of your ping pong ball using a scale.

Step 6: Calculate the difference in weight between the water and the ping pong ball. This

will be the weight you need to add to the ball to make it neutrally buoyant.

Step 7: Using a formula from above, calculate the mass of modelling clay that is equal to this

weight. Measure out this mass and add it to your ping pong ball.

Step 8: Did your calculated added mass achieve neutral buoyancy? If not, try to explain why

the calculated mass is not exactly the amount needed.

Worksheet 3.2: Pressure Effect on Submarine

How does pressure at depth affect the pressure hull of a submarine and what is the implication on a

submarine pressure hull design?

Rationale

Depth is one of the most important and deciding structural design criteria of a submarine. The

pressure hull is the primary structural element of the submarine and is designed to be able to

withstand the external hydrostatic pressure. It is designed for a crush depth, at which complete failure

is expected within a very narrow range. The hydrostatic pressure at this depth is considered as the

design pressure for all the pressure hull calculations.

Students are, therefore, required to model a fair test to investigate the effect of increasing depth on

a submarine.

Resources per group

• Fresh peas

• 2.0L or bigger plastic water bottle.

• Similar size Polystyrene cup, clear plastic cup, or paper cup (2 types of cup per group)

• Clamp, boss and a clamp stand

• Measuring cup

• Stiff mat

Planning Your Investigation

Step 1: Formulate a hypothesis.

To do this, identify the independent variables (the variable that you are changing) and the

dependent variables (the variable you are measuring) and controlled variables, if any.

State your hypothesis. A hypothesis is a prediction of the effect of changing the independent

variable on the dependent variable.

Predict which cup will cope with the most pressure or the least pressure

Step 2: Consider how you will make your experiment a fair test.

Step 3: Design your experiment layout.

Each group should choose two types of cups (polystyrene, clear plastic or paper cup).

The cups represent the pressure hull of a submarine and the water in the plastic bottle

represents increased depth.

Setup your clamp, boss and clamp stand as shown below.

Procedural Steps

Key Content/Ideas Teacher Activity Student Activity Time

Focus area Fresh water system

Teacher will ask students to write the components of sea water as they have learned about it in submarine material investigation. Teacher will present the idea of cleaning water by removing the salts

Students will understand the components of sea water and how removal of salts can make sea water clean.

10 mins

Teacher will demonstrate the distillation procedure as shown in the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elap_3vYtn0 Teacher will use descriptive PowerPoint slides to teach about Reverse Osmosis. Teacher will give explicit instructions to design a poster to describe the procedure of desalination and reverse osmosis of sea water in submarines.

Each group makes a poster to show the process Desalination and Reverse Osmosis and how it can be used for cleaning or desalinating the sea water. Students will answer the questions provided in the worksheet 6.1b.

30 mins

Waste Management in Submarine

Teacher will ask students to brainstorm about listing the type of waste associated with submarine: Human Waste- Toilets, shower. Submarine waste- Heat from Nuclear reactor is used for distillation and 𝐻2 from the electrolytic process of oxygen generation. Teacher will teach how black and grey water coming from toilet and bathroom is managed in the submarine and is ejected out. For managing other solid waste weighted cans are used and ejected out though trash disposal unit.

Students will listen to the teacher and learn about the type of waste and its management in submarine. Students will answer the questions provided in the worksheet 6.1b

20 mins
