Tanvi Naidu's Individual Contribution Page

Personal Goals:

• Gaining more experience running experiments in a lab and obtaining useful results.
• Learning how to design a small-scale model for experimental purposes
• Gain a deeper understanding of fluid mechanics
• Get better acquainted with the problems faced in running the plant, specifically the flocculator.
• Understanding how to effectively use the process controller
• Helping run experiments to verify Karen Swetland's findings. 

Contributions so far:

• Helping clean the set-up in preparation for experiments
• Undergoing process controller training
• obtain dimensions for the model flocculator.
• Contributing towards organization of the team's semester plan.
• Studying and reviewing the theory involved in the team's work, i.e. Flocculator Model, Flocculator Design and Fluid Mechanics. Helping set-up as necessary to begin experiments (creating coagulant stock solution, installing clay stock, etc.) .
