Spring 2011 Contributions

I began the Spring 2011 semester as the sub-team leader for the Chemical Dose Controller and Linear Flow Orifice Meter (CDC/LFOM) team. Our group quickly assembled a linear chemical dosing lab apparatus to begin experimentation to find the upper-flow limit of the linear CDC system. Early on in the semester, we realized that the system was not producing the chemical flow rates that our theoretical calculations predicted. We attributed this to the presence of unanticipated minor head losses through the system. The remainder of our time was spent investigating the sources and magnitudes of these minor head losses.
