ANC CONTROL

Spring 2010 Research

INTRODUCTION

The Fall 2009 ANC team's design of lime feeder had been carried on by the Sping 2010 ANC team based on the same idea, which by using a slanting tube connected with a vertical column, the lime could be fluidized at the bottom and captured at the top. However, in order to overcome the difficulties faced in the previous design, the slanting tube's diameter changed from 1 inch to 2 inches.(see new lime feeder design)

In the following experiment set-up with both new apparatus and old one, the team tried to determine all the possible parameters which may influence the lime feeder's performence, all those parameters were based on Spring 2010 team's hypothesis.(see hypothesis). In addition, from previous ANC team's proposal, it's very important to set comparison experiment to test each parameter separately, so the new team did all the experiment with a single comparable parameter.

2010 ANC team carried on its research by kept improving the lime feeder design and performence. ANC control Spring 2010 team
