Determine the Controlling Resistances in Filter Cakes

建议研制可压缩滤饼的表征装置，并对其进行综合研究。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与伊士曼化学公司的J. Kanel合作，用两个月的时间建立实验设备。实验将在伊士曼化学公司和阿克伦大学同时进行。为本科生实验室装配第二台仪器。预计该项目将提供有用的科学和应用成果，并为各自大学和工业界之间的长期关系奠定基础。该装置的主要输出结果将是蛋糕阻力和局部蛋糕孔隙率的结果，可作为模型开发的参考，以及工业测试数据。研究生和本科生的参与将是这次合作的另一个好处。建议的项目将很好地完成“工程学院实习计划”的目标。伊士曼化学公司（Eastman Chemical Co.）（16,947美元）和阿克伦大学（University of Akron）（3,800美元）提供了相应的资金。

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).
