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.) .
