Dr. Nollert,
The experiment performed was Experiment IV: Fluid Flow Meters and Tray Hydraullics. The group was composed of Alex Long, Khanh Ho, Tricia Heitmann and myself. The first day of experimentation was April 16, 2013. On this day, Alex and I ran the sieve tray apparatus to study the vapor and liquid tray hydraulics parameters for sieve type crossflow distillation trays. Tricia and Khanh ran the fluid flow apparatus to determine the operating characteristics of the Venturi and orifice meters.
Day 2 of the experiment was performed on April 23, 2013. More testing was done on both apparatus’ in order to obtain enough data for error propagation.
Sincerely,
William Kwendi
