Instrumentation for Particle Transport/Separation Experiments

目前正在建设一个颗粒输送/分离流系统，并允许将颗粒技术和分离概念的实验室调查首次引入工程学院和化学工程系现有的本科课程。 通过这一项目，正在将新的仪器、一台叠层分析仪、压力传感器、一台颗粒特性测试仪和一个数据采集板与颗粒输送/分离系统相结合。 这使得实验室旋风分离粉末从空气中，颗粒表征，流型识别气/固运输，料斗操作纳入类。 气动输送/分离系统已经完全由本科生设计和建造，并已用于开始向少数自选学生介绍颗粒技术和环境分离。 这个项目将粒子技术融入到一些本科课程中，从而使所有工科本科生意识到粒子知识的重要性。 此外，所有化学工程专业的学生都可以在现有的本科课程中学习与颗粒运输和分离相关的各种概念。 新的仪器可以导致不同的学习目标的粒子技术，这是一个重要的知识领域，以前被忽视的化学工程教育的实验。 课程，如过程控制，流体动力学，探索工程和运输现象将整合实验，影响超过1,500名学生在未来5年的使用。

A particle transport/separation flow system is currently under construction and allows the laboratory investigation of particle technology and separation concepts to be introduced for the first time into the existing undergraduate curriculum in the College of Engineering and in the Department of Chemical Engineering. New instruments, a stack analyzer, pressure transducers, a particle characteristics tester, and a data acquisition board are being incorporated with the particle transport/separation system through this project. This enables labs on cyclone separation of powders from air, particle characterization, flow regime identification for gas/solid transport, and hopper operation to be incorporated into classes. The pneumatic transport/separation system has been completely designed and constructed undergraduate students and has served to begin to introduce particle technology and environmental separations to a small number of self-selected students. This project integrates particle technology into a number of the undergraduate classes, thus enabling all engineering undergraduates to become aware of the importance of the knowledge of particles. Additionally, all chemical engineering students can learn the various concepts pertinent to the transport and separation of particles in their existing undergraduate courses. The new instrumentation can result in a number of experiments of varying learning objectives on particle technology, which is a vital area of knowledge that has previously been neglected in chemical engineering education. Classes such as Process Control, Fluid Dynamics, Exploring Engineering, and Transport Phenomena will integrate the experiments to affect over 1,500 students in the next 5 years of use.
