This Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project presents a new, non-contact method for sorting particles by size. The primary objective of Phase I activities is to evaluate the technical and commercial feasibility of a particle sorter based upon Aerodynamic Vectoring. This objective will be accomplished in an air jet facility through high-speed imaging and optical particle tracking, to determine the operational limits of such a device and achievable particle sorting accuracy. It is anticipated that an optimal arrangement of flow parameters can be determined so as to substantiate sorting accuracy across a wide range of particle sizes and flow rates, thus, validating feasibility of this device.A particle sorter based upon Aerodynamic Vectoring has the potential for considerable commercial value. Its range of applications, which include powder material processing, sample concentration, cell sorting, and air quality monitoring, is broad.

这个小企业技术转让（STTR）第一阶段项目提出了一种新的非接触式方法，用于按尺寸分选颗粒。第一阶段活动的主要目标是评估基于气动矢量的颗粒分选机的技术和商业可行性。这一目标将通过高速成像和光学颗粒跟踪在空气喷射设施中实现，以确定这种设备的操作极限和可实现的颗粒分选精度。通过对气流参数的优化配置，可以在较宽的粒径和流速范围内保证分选精度，从而验证了该装置的可行性，具有很大的商业价值。其应用范围广泛，包括粉末材料处理、样品浓缩、细胞分选和空气质量监测。
