Final
...
Report
...
For
...
the
...
second
...
part
...
of
...
the
...
semester,
...
I
...
have:
- improved data analysis 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 new tube flocculator setup, cleaning/organizing the experimental apparatus, conducting and troubleshooting the experiments,
- analyzed the data from the new setup and compared it with the previous setup, and
- updated the wiki page.
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
...
...
any
...
trend
...
that
...
can
...
be
...
compared
...
with
...
the
...
data.
...
Our
...
first
...
guess
...
was
...
that
...
these
...
data
...
can
...
be
...
represented
...
by
...
polynomial
...
plots.
...
From
...
the
...
...
...
,
...
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
...
...
...
,
...
and
...
after
...
several
...
discussions,
...
we
...
decided
...
that
...
by
...
...
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
...
...
...
,
...
as
...
a
...
summary
...
of
...
our
...
understanding
...
and
...
also
...
anything
...
that
...
we
...
wanted
...
to
...
work
...
on.
