Description: Abstract
Object of research is to improve a solar desalination device known as the Water Cone that creates potable water using solar energy. The water cone is a polymeric cone that sits overtop a dish of saline water. The water is evaporated by the sun and condenses back onto the surface of the cone creating fresh water. In an attempt to improve the cone’s water production, two different… more

Description: In a tank filled with water at the bottom and oil floating on top, a straight rod reaching into the oil is set to rotate. The rotating rod is brought just above the oil/water boundary and is set to rotate at a speed greater than 200 revolutions per minute. It became evident that the rod’s rotation caused the oil/water interface to curve upward around the center of rotation, reaching up to the… more

Publisher: Florida Atlantic University Libraries: Digital Library
Description: Within the framework of ongoing research studying the effects of oscillatory forces on pipe flow, an experiment was conducted to investigate the relationship between the nature of said forces and hydraulic jump resulting from the impact of the exiting flow onto an orthogonal surface.
To this end, a reservoir supplying constant head and near-hydrostatic conditions was equipped with an exit… more

Comparison of the Rotational Behavior of Coffee Creamer in Two Different Liquid Media
Type: Text

Contributors: Balark, Kamanie, Gavalas, Sebastian, Lindstedt, Erik, Nguyen, Kevin, Sandoval, Sarel, Su, Tsung-Chow
Publisher: Florida Atlantic University Libraries: Digital Library
Description: The purpose of this research was to explore dispersion patterns of coffee creamer when exposed to rotating fresh water. The dispersion patterns of the creamer were observed after being both added directly to the rotating water and when having to first traverse a layer of vegetable oil. A rotating platform supporting a beaker was controlled through a power supply. The power supply was adjusted… more
