Instrumentation for Particle Transport/Separation Experiments

一个粒子传输/分离流系统目前正在建设中，它允许粒子技术和分离概念的实验室研究首次引入到工程学院和化学工程系现有的本科课程中。通过这个项目，新的仪器，堆栈分析仪，压力传感器，粒子特性测试仪和数据采集板正在与粒子传输/分离系统相结合。这使得从空气中旋风分离粉末的实验室，颗粒表征，气体/固体运输的流动状态识别，以及料斗操作被纳入类。气动输送/分离系统已完成本科生的设计和构建，并开始向少数自选学生介绍颗粒技术和环境分离。本项目将粒子技术融入到多个本科课程中，让所有工科本科生都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他们现有的本科课程中学习与颗粒的运输和分离有关的各种概念。新的仪器可以导致许多实验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。过程控制、流体动力学、探索工程和运输现象等课程将整合实验，在未来5年内影响超过1,500名学生。

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.
