PSS Meeting Minutes

Spring 2009 Minutes

4/24/09

Accomplishments

• Ran experiments with 23.8mm tube with a low and high floc blanket at various flow rates.
• Anazlyzed data for recent experiments.
• Compared data points for all the experiments performed this semester.
• Updated Collete's leader status on the wiki team members page.
• Mathcad file for data analysis is fixed and working!

Outcomes

• Need to determine what length tubes we will test this next week.
• Determined optimal Vc based on performace of tubes in recent experiments.

Issues

• Still have not begun running experiment 2, where we pick an L/b ratio and a Vc to test the effect of tube diameter.
• Still working on effective drag on a floc.
