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
Team Leader

    A hydraulic jump is a sudden dissipation of energy caused by a change from super-critical to sub-critical flow. The concept is very similar to sudden expansion in pipe flow, except that hydraulic jumps occur in open-channel flow. At the start of the jump, the flow height will begin to increase, and the velocity will slow creating an area of turbulence. At the end of the jump, the flow height will level off again, and the fluid will continue flowing smoothly.…

    Acid phosphatases form part of the hydrolase class of enzymes and they can be found in both plant and animal species. Acid phosphatases remove phosphate groups from a broad range of molecules under acidic conditions. (Guo & Pesacreta, 1997). Mobilization of phosphate from organic phosphates present in macromolecules during seed germination and seedling growth are largely carried out by acid phosphatases. (Duff et. al., 1994)…
