Page 25.1020.2AbstractAlthough many products produced by chemical manufacturers today are solids or contain solids,the training in many chemical engineering departments has little discussion of solids beyondeutectic diagrams in a materials class or a limited discussion of filtration in a chemicalengineering class. Specifically, while there is much discussion of a material’s composition,temperature, and pressure, other attributes such as particle size and shape are neglected. Whensize is discussed, frequently it is only the average size. The difficulty is that the size distributionaffects the performance of many equipment units including filters, hydrocylones, andcrystallizers. While some chemical engineering departments have developed particle

The figure shows that the time from first phase closing to thelast was 1.3 milliseconds.Contact BounceMain Contacts, Resistor Switches, and Auxiliary Contacts can be analyzed for undesiredbouncing. According to [3] contact bouncing is described as: When a switch is actuated and contacts touch one another under the force of actuation, they are supposed to establish continuity in a single, crisp moment. Unfortunately, though, switches do not exactly achieve this goal. Due to the mass of the moving contact and any elasticity inherent in the mechanism and/or contact materials

The online distribution of this material frees researchers to focus their time on algorithm development instead of reinventing the low level interfaces.The functions are freely available on the web. While the toolbox is free, of course MATLABitself requires a license to use. In that sense it is not FOSS (Free and Open Source Software).However, we feel MATLAB is a viable alternative since: 1. many universities, the target market for the Scorbot, already possess a site license for MATLAB; 2.

part of the project was toutilize control algorithms in order to lower the degree of error in precision as well as to allow formore robustness in the demonstration of mathematical concepts. PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) algorithms are feedback mechanisms widely used in industrial control systems. Theplatform uses a simple process of tuning the parameters of the algorithm to produce a desiredoutput. What the algorithm does is measure the error value between the recorded output and thedesired output (called the set point) and attempt to minimize the error using a combinationalgorithm that uses a weighted sum of the error, its derivative, and its integral, as defined overcertain interval. Along with PID, we also had to incorporate robust

Those survey results were analyzed in conjunction with their grades onthe DTMC question on the final exam, to determine if their level of engagement in the game wascorrelated with better grades. Finally, their responses to that final exam question was comparedto those from a previous administration of the class, to determine if the game affected theirretention of the material.
