Final

...

Report

...

For

...

the

...

second

...

part

...

of

...

the

...

semester,

...

I

...

have:

...

...

...

...

  • by

...

  • changing

...

  • to

...

  • a

...

  • user-friendly

...

  • layout

...

  • that

...

  • allow

...

  • easy

...

  • access/workaround

...

  • with

...

  • MathCad

...

  • files

...

  • and

...

  • integrating

...

  • data

...

  • smoothing

...

  • using

...

  • moving

...

  • average

...

  • approach,

...

  • worked

...

  • mostly

...

  • on

...

  • assembling

...

  • the

...

...

...

...

...

  • ,

...

  • cleaning/organizing

...

  • the

...

  • experimental

...

  • apparatus,

...

  • conducting

...

  • and

...

  • troubleshooting

...

  • the

...

  • experiments,

...

  • analyzed

...

  • the

...

  • data

...

  • from

...

  • the

...

...

...

  • and

...

  • compared

...

  • it

...

  • with

...

  • the

...

  • previous

...

  • setup,

...

  • and

...

My works now (or in the future, will) focus on:

  • creating tutorial for Process Controller,
  • trying to carry out experiments using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) (we have managed to collect some data, but the computer that host the data crashed unexpectedly and the data cannot be retrieved at the moment),
  • conduct experiments on the new setup with new IR turbidimeter,
  • creating troubleshooting page for Tube Floc experiments, and
  • updating the wiki with new information for Summer session.

My

...

works

...

consist

...

of

...

evaluating

...

previous

...

data,

...

creating

...

better

...

analysis

...

tools

...

using

...

MathCad

...

and

...

analyzing

...

any

...

trends

...

that

...

can

...

describe

...

the

...

sedimentation

...

data.

...

Our

...

(Ian

...

Tse

...

and

...

I)

...

first

...

task

...

was

...

to

...

organize

...

the

...

data

...

and

...

to

...

identify

...

which

...

data

...

corresponds

...

to

...

the

...

matrices

...

in

...

the

...

MathCad

...

space.

...

Then

...

we

...

try

...

to

...

deduce

...

any

...

trend

...

that

...

can

...

be

...

compared

...

with

...

the

...

data.

...

Our

...

first

...

guess

...

was

...

that

...

these

...

data

...

can

...

be

...

represented

...

by

...

polynomial

...

plots.

...

From

...

the

...

error

...

analysis

...

,

...

we

...

determined

...

that

...

the

...

third

...

or

...

fourth

...

degree

...

of

...

polynomial

...

suits

...

the

...

datasets

...

the

...

best.

...

However,

...

this

...

polynomial

...

regression

...

method

...

would

...

only

...

beneficial

...

for

...

fitting

...

the

...

experimental

...

data

...

but

...

won't

...

be

...

useful

...

for

...

determining

...

any

...

actual

...

parameters

...

that

...

representing

...

the

...

curve.

...

Therefore,

...

a

...

saturation

...

curve

...

was

...

suggested.

...

However,

...

the

...

regression

...

didn't

...

give

...

a

...

better

...

fit

...

for

...

the

...

datasets.

...

We've

...

tried

...

to

...

look

...

from

...

another

...

perspective

...

,

...

and

...

after

...

several

...

discussions,

...

we

...

decided

...

that

...

by

...

normalizing

...

the

...

amount

...

of

...

settling

...

(1-NTU/NTU

...

max),

...

the

...

analysis

...

can

...

be

...

improved.

...

The

...

double-reciprocal

...

analysis

...

was

...

imposed

...

on

...

the

...

normalized

...

datasets

...

and

...

we

...

found

...

that

...

they

...

conformed

...

with

...

Lineweaver-Burke

...

analysis.

...

Our

...

next

...

approach

...

is

...

to

...

extract

...

particle

...

distribution

...

curve

...

from

...

the

...

datasets

...

and

...

get

...

better

...

understanding

...

of

...

how

...

floc

...

size

...

affect

...

the

...

performance

...

of

...

settling

...

column.

...

On

...

February

...

20,

...

we

...

also

...

did

...

teach-In

...

,

...

as

...

a

...

summary

...

of

...

our

...

understanding

...

and

...

also

...

anything

...

that

...

we

...

wanted

...

to

...

work

...

on.
