Fall 2016 Contributions
This semester, I have helped the Ram Pump Team secure components of the ram pump setup, develop a method to obtain a continuous performance curve of the flow rate of the pump, calculate the energy-efficiency of the pump, and determine the effects of adding a distribution pipe to the ram pump system.
