ACD Meeting Minutes

Fall 2008 Minutes

9/24

Accomplishments

• I have an almost-working MathCAD sheet!
  • It is designed to account for the differences we may make in constructing each ACD (particularly sting length and float weight/bouyancy)

Outcomes

• Leah and I will be working separately for a while until we both have our prototypes updated and more data collected
• The first round of data to collect for the ACD will be chem outflow to float height.

Issues

• It is very hard to mesh the outflow to headloss to flowrate models for the FCM and the lever arm.
  • There are two variables, the location along the lever arm and the angle of the lever arm. It is difficult to account for those separately.
• I will be gone for a week so that pushes back the first data collection by a week.
