Spring 2012 Contributions

In Spring 2012, I was part of the Floc Sed Optimization Team. As a brand-new research team, we faced many difficulties building a set-up that could handle the wide range of experiments that we wanted to carry out. However, we worked together as a team to do the best that we could, while trying to maximize learning opportunities for one another.

I contributed my theoretical and software knowledge from CEE 4540 by taking the lead on system design calculations and data processing on MathCAD. I also devoted extra time and effort into learning and practicing the practical skills required to build and troubleshoot our experimental setup. For example, I took the initiative to download Process Controller onto my computer and practice doing the tutorial in order to familiarize myself with the interface.

Fall 2010 Contributions

For this Fall 2010 semester, I am working on the Inlet Manifold team. Some of our major achievements this semester include proving the presence of pressure recovery, and discovering the horizontal velocity component of the exiting jets. These contributed to the circular flow that we observed in dye tests on a model of the sedimentation tank.
