All the results and discussion for these experiments can be found in Ian Tse's M.S. thesis: Fluid shear influences on hydraulic flocculation systems characterized using a newly developed method for quantitative analysis of flocculation performance
During fall 2009, two challenges were tested with the completion of one. For the first challenge, the study of the effect of shear rate on tube flocculator performance, our goal was to replicate an experiment from spring 2009 for the team to familiarize itself to the experimental apparatus and analysis techniques. Though this challenge did not provide new data, it showed the overall functions of the tube floc experimental setup and the computer programs used for data analysis.
