Tube Floc Settling Data Analysis

Data Analysis

All data for tube flocculation is collected through Process Controller and saved in Excel spreadsheet. The Meta Data algorithm in MathCad Data Processor is used to extract the sedimentation data from Excel spreadsheet and pick the range corresponded to the experimental settling state.

First Look into the Data

Here, we were trying to see the trend of the datasets from previous experiments.

Error Analysis

Error analysis is proposed to see which equations fit each datasets the best.

Another example...

Another datasets example is analyzed to determine which polynomial fit suits the best. The third and fourth degree of polynomial were found to be the best.

Raw Data of Settling Column

Another raw data of sedimentation was looked at different angle to get a better sense of parameters that actually effect the curve.

Data Normalization

Data is normalized and Lineweaver-Burke data analysis was applied.

Data Fluctuation

We were interested to find out how much the data fluctuates during settling in a given experiment if repeated several times and how this might impact our results.

Data Linearization

Data is linearized using double reciprocal analysis and the equations can be viewed here.
