Determine the Controlling Resistances in Filter Cakes

建议开发可压缩滤饼的表征装置，并对其进行全面的研究。G.Chase教授和阿克伦大学的一名研究生将在伊士曼化学实验室呆两个月，与伊士曼化学公司的J.Kanel合作建立实验设施。实验将在伊士曼化学公司和阿克伦大学并行进行。在那里将为本科生实验室组装第二台仪器。预计该项目将提供有用的科学和应用成果，并为各自的大学和行业之间的长期关系奠定基础。该装置的主要输出将是滤饼阻力和局部滤饼孔隙率的结果，可供模型开发和工业试验数据参考。研究生和本科生的参与将是这种合作的另一个好处。该项目将很好地实现“工程学院实习计划”的目标。相应的资金由伊士曼化学公司(16,947美元)和阿克伦大学(3,800美元)提供。

It is proposed to develop on apparatus for characterization of compressible filter cakes, and to perform a comprehensive research program on it. Professor G. Chase and a graduate student of the University of Akron will spend two months at Eastman Chemical laboratory to set up the experimental facility in collaboration with J. Kanel of Eastman Chemical Co. Experiments will be run in parallel at the Eastman Chemical Co. and at the University of Akron, where a second apparatus will be assembled for the undergraduate laboratory. It is expected that this project will provide useful scientific and applied results, as well as the basis for a long-term relationship between the respective university and industry. The main output from the proposed apparatus will be results on the cake resistance and local cake porosity, which can be used as reference for model development, and testing data in industry. The involvement of graduate and undergraduate students will be another benefit of this collaboration. The proposed project will accomplish well the goals of the "Engineering Faculty Internships Initiative". Matching funds are provide by Eastman Chemical Co. ($16,947) and the University of Akron ($3,800).
