Fluid mechanics is a fundamental engineering course that engineers of several

disciplines are required to take. As mechanical engineers, one can undoubtedly expect

the need to work with fluids at some point in their careers. With that, the construction

of a unique fountain will lead to a better understanding of some concepts such as fluid

flow, specific fluid properties, and buoyancy. Incorporated will be concepts and

knowledge from various engineering topics such as mechatronics, mechanics, electric

circuits, and computer-aided manufacturing. The complete display is comprised of

two tanks. A tall, vertical tank will contain a viscous fluid where air bubbles will be

injected into it through a series of solenoids controlled by a microcontroller. These

bubbles will coordinate to form letters, numbers, and shapes. A flat, horizontal tank

will have water continuously flowing through it with air bubbles streaming through it.

Magnetic shapes will be inside the tank for users to manipulate to observe its

particular streamline properties with the reaction from the air bubbles in the fluid.

1 Introduction

The Fluid Flow Aeration Tanks is a novel project that displays multiple

engineering concepts and involves many engineering disciplines in the analysis and

conception. Specifically, it will display concepts of fluid streamlines and buoyancy

through the use of two separate liquid tanks; a horizontal tank and a vertical tank. It is

also an interactive learning display as users are able to manipulate the water

streamline in the horizontal tank through the use of the magnetic shapes of a square

and a circle.

The vertical tank will demonstrate the concept of buoyancy in unusual fashion

of releasing air bubbles through a series of thirteen solenoids into a viscous fluid. The

bubbles can also be coordinated through a microcontroller to display various shapes

and patterns. This portion of the tank will incorporate programming techniques and

microcontrollers which are becoming much more common in the field of mechanical

engineering.

Motivations and Objectives

- Innovative project that displays multiple disciplines of engineering

- Can be used as an interactive outreach or learning tool for Fluid

Mechanics

- Displays multiple engineering concepts, some interactively: Streamlines,

buoyancy

- Vertical tank displays pre-determined patterns through controlled bursts of

air in fluid

- Work with modern microcontrollers and advanced programming

techniques to ultimately control pattern display

2 Conceptual Design

The fluid flow aeration tanks needed a robust

design that would allow both a vertical buoyancy tank,

and a horizontal streamline tank to be shown

interactively at the same time. While displaying them at

the same time, it is also important to make the

distinction between the two tanks as two separate

entities and maintain space for the equipment that

is intrinsic with each system (i.e. pump system and

electronics). A model of the design the cart was

based on is displayed in Figure 2.1. To more easily discuss these tanks it will be

easier to review them in three separate sections: horizontal streamline tank, vertical

buoyancy tank, and the display stand. For any of the subsections in section two please

refer to the Final Design Drawing package in Appendix A-1.

2.1 Horizontal Streamline Tank

The horizontal tank's

purpose is to display streamline

characteristics of fluids in a highly

interactive and controllable

environment. The tank itself was

designed to utilize a continuous

fluid source, in this case water, which Figure 2.2: Horizontal Tank Design

Figure 2.1: Fluid Flow

Aeration Tanks

10

has a controllable flow rate and an even flow across the entire cross-section of the

tank as seen in Figure 2.2. In order to view the streamlines the novel idea of

introducing small bubbles into the system at a controlled rate would be effective.

This method has both the benefit of continuously showing streamlines through

bubbles in the water and allowing for an indicator that, unlike most other systems,

allows for the continuous use of a single source without the use of small particle

filtration systems or die packs. In order to view streamlines some obstructions were

designed to be interactively placed in the tank. This brief synopsis makes it clear that

in order to relay the design characteristics of the horizontal tank it would be easier to

break it down into further subsections: the horizontal tank itself, the pump system

connecting to the tank, the end-caps of the tank that act as the entry and exit points for

the tank, and the obstructions within the tank.

2.1.1 The Horizontal Tank Design

The horizontal tank has an elongated thin rectangular profile of about twelve

inches wide, thirty-six inches long with a half inch gap in the center. It was designed

to be made out of quarter inch thick acrylic sheets and chemically bonded together as

will be further discussed in section four on manufacturing. The tank was designed so

as not deform by the water flowing through it while leaving a large enough gap to fit

pre-determined shapes in it to act as obstructions.

2.1.2 The Pump System

The pump system to the cart did not have an involved design initially. It was

determined that a retention tank would be required to act as both a water reservoir for

11

the water pump and a collection tank for the return line for the system, allowing for

the same water to be used continuously in the system. Initially the water flow was to

be controlled by a number of valves that were located on both the end-cap entrance

and exit as seen in Figure 2.2. The valve control was later changed for reasons

discussed in Section 5.1.1 and 5.1.2.

2.1.3 Horizontal Tank End-caps

The two end-caps to the

horizontal tank involved a lot of

design consideration. It is important

to recognize that while the tank was

made of acrylic, it required no fixed

connection points. The entry and

exit points of both the water and the

air for the bubbles had not been given major consideration. In order to stream water

into the tank evenly is no minor accomplishment. It became a recognized issue

during the prototyping phase listed in Section 3.1.1. In order to achieve this, an

interchangeable baffles system was designed into the entry port side of the tank. The

baffles were designed into the system with three interchangeable baffle slides

designed on the following criteria and seen in Figure 2.3. The baffle placed closest to

the four water tube inserts was designed to act as a kinetic energy deflector and

negate and forward velocity from coming out of the tubing apertures. The second and

third baffles had several small holes whose primary purpose is to remove any existing

eddies from the water flow and help force an evenly forward momentum. The

Figure 2.3: Entry End-Cap Baffles System

12

aeration (green) tube was also placed in a recessed pocket in the entry end-cap. It

was placed in the pocket located directly in front of the entry point of the tank in an

effort to avoid any air pocket buildup and stay low and out of the flow of the water.

Not shown, is the fish tank aerator pump that was used to pump the air through the

aeration tube. The aeration tube selection and performance is discussed further in

both Section 3.1.3 and Section 5.1.2. The exit point end-cap maintained a similar

design and allowed for some small apertures towards the top of the end-cap to help

allow for the bubbles to be removed from the tank and escape back into atmosphere.

This end-cap design ended up being completely replaced due to flow restrictions that

it imposed that were not discovered until after initial testing. The replacement design

allowed for a much larger aperture for the water to be funneled out through and a

small open air reservoir that's volume could be controlled by a large valve that acted

as a baffle for the exit. The flow exit specifications are given in further details in both

Section 3.1.4

Figure 2.3 displays two more important design concepts integrated into the

end-cap. First notice that the lid is removed in this picture and that when added it

must be screwed on with a gasket material between to maintain a good seal while

allowing occasional access to the removable baffles for inserting the obstructions.

Also, the end-caps are connected to the tank by compression with another gasket

between the acrylic tank and the end-cap. The compression force is applied by

leveling pads mounted to the display stand making it an important fixture in the

horizontal tanks ability to operate.

13

2.1.4 Streamline Obstructions

Two obstructions, a circle and a square, were designed to be placed within the

horizontal tank to act as the two dimensional profile obstructions that streamlines

would be demonstrated through. The obstructions were made from acrylic with

pockets machined out in order to epoxy magnets within. Cylindrical handles were

also designed with pockets for strong magnets to be inserted. This allows for the two

obstructions to be completely interactive while the horizontal tank is being utilized.

2.2 The Vertical Buoyancy Tank

The vertical buoyancy tank was designed to display controlled buoyancy in

fluids. This display is achieved by injecting controlled air bubbles into a tank of fluid

with properties that would allow for optimal bubble

formation and rise time. It consisted of the tank itself

and two end-caps sealing the fluid in. All-thread was

used to connect the two end-caps and compress the

tank. The all-thread was connected directly connected

to the display stand and could further be used as a

leveling apparatus for the tank. The tank also has

thirteen solenoids connected to it and utilizes a

microcontroller to control air release from a

compressor. Figure 2.4 shows the vertical tank's

final design concept.

2.2.1 The Vertical Tank

Figure 2.4: Vertical Buoyancy

Tank

14

The vertical tank stood about twenty-six inches tall twenty-four inches wide

and has a three quarter inch gap. The tank was designed initially with 3/16 inch

acrylic walls, but this was revisited for reasons described in Section 5.2, and the wall

thickness was later increased to quarter inch. The tank also was sealed using the

same chemical bonding process as the horizontal section which is further described in

Section 4.

2.2.2 Vertical Tank End-caps

The vertical tank end-caps were both manufactured out of aluminum for its

rigidity and low cost. The end-caps were designed to house a recessed gasket that

would form a seal when compressed against both ends of the acrylic tank effectively

encapsulating the chosen fluid. The top end-cap had two additional holes open to air

in order to ensure the tank never became pressurized while injecting bubbles. The

bottom end-cap was designed to have thirteen solenoids attach directly to it at equal

spacing for bubble injection. The bottom end-cap additionally had one valve attached

in order to act as a service drain for the standing fluid in the tank.

2.2.3 Bubble Injection System

The bubble injection system comprised of the mentioned thirteen solenoids all

controlled through a microcontroller. The microcontroller was selected as a cost

savings tactic since the initially planned Programmable Logic Circuit was too

expensive. In order to utilize the microcontroller a circuit was designed to power the

solenoids and effectively be used by the microcontroller's program. More

information on both the circuit and the microcontroller program can be seen in

15

Section 3.2.3. The air supply to the solenoid stemmed from an air compressor that

was fed through an air bladder tank into a small recirculation air manifold (to offset

pressure drops) that was all controlled by a one to ten psi regulator.

2.3 The Display Stand

The display stand was initially designed to

be made almost entirely of standard sized wooden

boards. As the design process developed it became

apparent that the initial reliance of the project on the

cart had been underestimated. The design stand was

then revisited and a suitable pre-fabricated cart was

found that could be modified to encapsulate the

project and perform some of the tasks that had

become necessary. The finished cart is shown in

Figure 2.5. Notice that the all-thread utilized to compress and level the vertical tank is

a permanent fixture on the cart. The horizontal tanks leveling pads that are utilized

for compression also became a permanent part of the display stand. The bottom shelf

of the display stand was utilized to house the water retention tank for the horizontal

stand while also acting as balast for the entire cart.

3 Detailed Design and Analysis


3.1.1 Horizontal Flow Prototype

To test and observe the general behavior of water in the horizontal tank

without constructing the full tank and potentially failing, a shorter acrylic section

(acrylic picture frame box) was used and connected to a hose inlet. As in the design

concept, four inlet ports were branched from the hose inlet. Figure 3.1 shows the

prototype setup.

Figure 3.1: Horizontal Flow Prototype

There were a few key issues that were highly taken note of during testing:

- Initial water manifold issues resulted in uneven flow across the tank

- Turbulence build up at end

- Aeration tube created large air pockets in the water from being added at high

pressure

- Stagnant Water

o Air needs to be added evenly at low pressure

- Available 1/8 horsepower pump size was not powerful enough

3.1.2 Pump Size Calculation

Purpose: Once the final design of the horizontal tank was completed, there was a

minimum pump power that would cause the flowrate through the horizontal tank to

be at the speed desired (~1200 gal/hr). Beyond this, the total pump head required at

the given speed could also be calculated. Calculating this let us choose a pump which

had this point on its pump curve; this ensured that the pump ran well and would last

through repeated uses.

Results: An approximation of our final design is shown in Figure 3.2. Knowing the

desired flowrate in the horizontal tank and the dimensions of the designed tank, the

velocity of the water was calculated. To compute the minimum pump power and total

pump head, Bernoulli's Equation was used in conjunction with this velocity as a

boundary condition.

To compute the minimum pump power and total pump head, Bernoulli's

Equation was used from point 1 to point 6 with all the approximate losses and our

desired velocity included. The losses were estimated using values from "Fluid

Figure 3.2: Pump Design

Mechanics, Sixth Edition" by Frank M. White [1]. The complete calculation can be

seen in the Appendix B-1.3, with a summarization of the values seen in the following

table.

3.1.3 Aeration Tube

The original concept of adding air bubbles in the horizontal tank was not

sufficient. The prototype test involved a vinyl tube with 4 small holes cut. A revisit of

the design came to the idea of using a typical aquarium aeration tube that is generally

used to produce a great number of small air bubbles in a tank of water through a low-

powered air pump. A makeshift aeration tube (Figure 3.2) comprised of the same

vinyl tube but modified with a longer slit along the tube and foam wrapped around it

was used to test the idea.

The test showed that a curtain of bubbles of about 1/8” to 1/4” in diameter can

be produced with a similar design. This led to the purchase of an appropriate length

aquarium aeration tube and air pump for the horizontal tank. Further detail can be

found in Appendix B-1.2.

3.1.4 Exit Flow

The horizontal tanks initial design had an exit port through an end cap with

eight holes for the water to exit back into the retension tank and four holes placed

high on the end wall for the air from the bubbles to escape to atmosphere through.

When the tank was initially tested with this setup it was found that the flow rate

needed to be maintained at a low rate in order to keep the exit side of the tank

unpressurized. This was problematic since the rest of the system was designed and

planned to have the water flowing at a velocity of almost thirteen inches per second.

These calculation were

immediately revisited to find

the correct apperture size for

the water to exit the system

with the pump wide open

allowing maximum flow. The

physical calculations for this

can be seen in Appendix B-1.4.

The aperture size was found to

be a hole of a nearly three inch

diameter using the modified

Bernoulis equation for an exit orifice in a

tank. This brought about the redesign of

the exit end-cap so that it utilized more of a small open air reservoir with a three inch

drain that recirculated the water back into the retention tank through PVC and was

adjustable through a two inch gate valve that acted as a baffle. This modified system

is depicted in Figure 3.4. The small reservoir tank itself was made out of acrylic for

simplicity and speed.

3.2 Vertical Buoyancy

3.2.1 Fluid Viscosity Prototype

A prototype was initially created to observe the behavior of a bubble in liquids

with various viscosities to determine what kind of fluid would work in the vertical

tank. The test apparatus was comprised a long, hollow, acrylic tube with rubber plugs

on each end (Figure 3.5).

Figure 3.5: Vertical Tank Prototype

The test fluids were water, mineral oil, and shampoo. A syringe with an enlarged

needle was used to inject an air bubble and the time it took for the bubble to travel 6

inches vertically was measured (in seconds).

It was found that the water and glycerin both had relatively low viscosities

that allowed the bubble to rise too quickly for our purposes. The shampoo was more

of a gel rather than a liquid that substantially slowed the rise of the bubble and

produced a more teardrop-shaped bubble than a round bubble. Additional testing had

22

to be done to determine what fluid could be used for the vertical tank. For the detailed

analysis, please refer to Appendix B-2.1

3.2.2 Viscosity

Further viscosity measurements

with more fluids such as glycerin and

dish soaps were done using viscometers

to provide better data (Figure 3.6). It

was to provide a range of liquid

viscosities that would aid in the search

of a suitable fluid. From testing, it was

found that the glycerin used in the

experiment had a desirable viscosity of about 1000 cP (as shown in Table 1). Castor

oil was chosen to be the fluid used in the vertical tank as it has a viscosity of about

985 cP (Table 2). A detailed analysis can be found in Appendix B-2.2.

3.2.3 Microcontroller Code and Circuit Design

Purpose: The purpose of the microcontroller code and circuit design is to create a

system that doesn't require user or operator interaction which will show with a

completely functional code, the microcontroller being used should be able to

successfully complete a few different objectives. These objectives include:

1. The ability to keep accurate time when plugged in for a duration of time.

2. The ability to take the time and translate each digit into a pattern of bubbles

that was visually recognizable as the digit in question.

3. The ability to take patterns dictated by the programmer and translates them

into bubbles in a tank by turning solenoids on and off.

4. The ability to easily manipulate the timing of the solenoids so that the size of

the bubbles can be changed during testing.

The circuit needs to be designed to:

1. Switch the solenoids on and off.

2. Keep the microcontroller safe from back EMF currents that will occur from

the solenoids firing.

3. Work within the voltages and currents the microcontroller can deliver.

Results: The first steps in designing the circuit elements had to do with ensuring that

the microcontroller could turn on the solenoids while being safe from the back EMF

that would occur upon the valves closing. Being able to turn the solenoids on and off

required using a transistor as an electrical switch to close the circuit between the

solenoid and ground. A MOSFET transistor was chosen for this task as they are able

to switch on with essentially no current applied to them; this was vital as the Arduino

24

microcontroller has a very small amount of current that can be passed from its output

pins and 13 pins would be drawing current simultaneously at some points in the

program. To prevent the back EMF damage that could occur, a diode was placed

around the solenoid in a direction that forced the current to not be able to travel into

the microcontroller. A detailed schematic of the circuit design is given in the

Appendix A-1.

After iterations of code and much debugging a final version of the code was

compiled and tested out using the final circuit design. The final code is shown in

detail in Appendix C-1. Figure is a basic overview of the pseudo-code implemented

in the microcontroller that drives the solenoids and a visual representation of what

occurs.

Figure 3.7: Solenoid Pseudo-code

1. A matrix is developed by the user or from the internal time consisting of 1’s

and 0’s, with 1’s corresponding to an open valve and 0’s to a closed valve.

2. The iterative algorithm goes through the matrix’s first row and opens up the

valves with a 1.

3. These are left open for a (user) specified amount of time before closing for a

25

different (user) specified amount of time.

4. This process is repeated row by row, for each row in the patterns specified.

Along with the circuit and code, the power supply that ran the solenoids had to be

able to supply enough current to the circuit that every solenoid can fire in unison.

The amount of current running through the circuit when all the solenoids are initially

fired came out to 2.9 Amps. A detailed description of how this number was

calculated can be found in Appendix C-1. This meant that the transformer that was

selected had to supply about this amperage.

3.2.4 Solenoid Air Pressure

Special attention was paid in deciding what pressure the air needed to be kept

at in order to allow for propper bubble formation while not allowing the solenoids to

back flow the selected fluid, castor oil, into the air supply system. This was done by

using the static fluid pressure equation for the castor oil inside the tank. It was found

that the pressure required was fairly low and determined that it would be best to run

the solenoids at about two psi to ensure that there was no back flow. For a more

detailed analysis refer to Apendix B-2.3.

4 Manufacturing Considerations

4.1 Acrylic Tank Construction

The two acrylic tanks were primarily comprised of 4 acrylic sheets each aside

from the vertical tank that also has a bottom piece. A chemical bonding agent, Weld-

On 3 Cement, was used while the acrylic pieces were squared on a precision granite

surface prior to gluing. To help generate a well-sealed seem, the edges of the acrylic

sheets were sanded smooth to remove rough edges. Figure 4.1 illustrates some of the

tanks’ construction process. In some cases where leaks or larger gaps were present,

Weld-On 16 and/or E-6000 adhesives were applied over the troublesome seams. The

tanks seams generally proved to be very strong and which were rated to over 600psi

by the manufacturers. It is also worthy to note that using drills with a higher taper

angle made drilling the acrylic pieces much easier and helped make cleaner-cut holes

void of chips or small stress fractures.

Figure 4.1: Tank Gluing Procedures

27

4.2 Machining of Various Parts

The majority of the parts that needed to be manufactured were machined on

the Bridgeport milling machine (Figure 4.2) located at South Campus with the aide of

Pacific’s technician Adrian Avila.

At times, specialized tooling was

required, such as long fluted end

mills with small diameters to get a

minimal radius in corners. For some

of the more design intensive parts,

such as the baffles and horizontal

entry endcap it was found that computer numerical controlled machining was the best

option. The produce a part on the CNC machine, it first must be modeled using

computer-aided design software such as SolidWorks, imported into ESPRIT to

generate the tool paths (Figure 4.3)and tool profiles, and transferred to the CNC

machine for processing. The Haas CNC machine in the CIMS (Computer Integrated

Manufacturing Systems) Lab on campus was used to machine the entry endcap, entry

baffle, and two magnetic obstructions for the horizontal tank.

5 Testing and Evaluation of Performance


5.1.1 Flow Rate Testing

During the initial testing of the horizontal streamline tank it became clear that

the water's flow rate was not high enough, and it was extremely difficult to control

the flow into the entry endcap. This problem was eventually solved using a

systematic approach. First the entry manifold was modified by adding a baffle

metering valve to help better control the flow directly out of the sump pump. The

modified manifold can be seen in Figure 5.1.

Figure 5.1: Modified Entry Manifold

The new entry manifold gave greatly improved control over the entry flow rate but

did not improve the low overall flowrate. This brought attention to the exit end-cap.

It was determined that modifications needed to be made to the tank exit in order to

increase the overall flowrate. The changes made were determined using the methods

discussed in Appendix B-1.4. In the end an overflow reservoir was made with a

29

much larger exit aperture that could be controlled with a large valve that acted as a

baffle. The final end-cap exit can be seen in Figure 5.2.

5.1.2 Aeration in Horizontal Tank

Objective: Reduce the amount of uncontrolled air being introduced into the system

causing air pockets in the horizontal tank.

Background Information: The horizontal tank was mainly comprised of a water full

tank of continuously flowing water that carried along bubbles from an aeration tube

in the entrance. During testing without the aeration tube, large air pockets were

forming at the entrance as well as very fine bubbles moving through the tank

Changes Made: Dr. Saviz suggested that the extra bubbles were being introduced into

our system in the water retention tank where all the water is generally stored before it

is pumped to the tank. Since our original drain essentially dropped the water off into

the tank as shown in Figure 5.3, it created small bubbles after the point of impact that

got suctioned by the pump into the horizontal tank. Dr. Saviz advised that we add on

Figure 5.2: Modified Exit End-cap and Exit Port

30

an extra elbow to the drain system that leads directly into the water tank so that it

eliminates the creation of air bubbles.

Figure 5.3: Before Drain Modification

Results: The modified drain pipe was a dramatic improved to the horizontal section as

a whole. It eliminated practically any air pockets and all of the finer bubbles that the

pump brought in from the water

reservoir. An additional cover was

added to separate the drain area and

the pump inlet to further reduce

any complications. The aeration

tube was now the only major

source of air being introduced into

the system at the entrance.

Conclusion: The direct drain shown in Figure 5.4 effectively removed any

unintentional air bubbles and pockets in the horizontal tank.

5.2 Vertical Buoyancy Tank

In testing our top tank we had to first and foremost ensure that the tank did not

leak from any of the glued seams. Once this was checked, our group could attach the

solenoids, circuit, and microcontroller and start to debug the bubble injection system.

Initially our vertical tank started had walls that were 3/16” thick, with gasket

material that was a thick Buna-N rubber. The endcaps were tightened with the tank in

between them until the nuts compressing the top and bottom endcaps together were

finger tight. From this point, a small amount of water was poured into the tank and

leaks were checked for. A small amount of water seemed to leak from where the tank

and rubber gasket material met, so the nuts were tightened at quarter turn intervals

until the leak stopped. From this point water was filled slowly into the tank until

about 2/3 of the tank was full. It was observed that the tank bowed out an extreme

amount due to the pressure the water was exerting on the walls. Once this was

noticed a small amount of water was added to the tank, which then broke along a

seam.

According to the experts that work with the material every day, they were

surprised to hear that the first tank bowed so much that it broke under the water. This

led the team to realize that the culprit of the first breakage was probably a

combination of the water pressure on the walls, and the tightening of the endcaps on

the tank; the extra compressive force applied to the ends of the tank added stress

which then exceeded the maximum amount that the glued seams could handle. Based

on this theory, the team concluded that to ensure that the tank wouldn't break again,

three countermeasures were to be enacted: 1) The wall thickness would be increased

to 1/4” so that the material's maximum allowable stress would increase, 2) A piece

32

that spans the entire bottom of the tank to help evenly apply force from the

compressing endcaps, and 3) A softer gasket material that would help to even out the

force applied across the bottom face of the tank while allowing for more control over

how much force from compression there is.

The second tank was tested in the same manner as the first, with Castor Oil

inserted instead of water. Although the tank still bowed, it was not enough to raise

fears within the group. The gasket seals also held without any leaking occurring. The

team decided that an extended leak test was something that was necessary to ensure

that there wouldn't be any problems later on in the process when there would not be

enough time to mitigate them. Returning the next day it was found that the tank had

leaked ¾ of its volume onto the floor. The team couldn't find any leaks on the tank

after it was drained, so it was decided that the leak had to be a slow one which came

from not tightening the endcaps enough.

The next time it was filled, the real culprit was found to be one of the seams

had a small section that had come undone. This small section was initially a worry

area, as the Weld-On 3 didn't seem to penetrate the entire 1/4” of the wall when

sealing. The tank was drained again, and an industrial epoxy sealer was run along

every seam on the tank. Expoxying the seams finished solving the last of the

problems of the top tank leaking at all. From this point on the fine tuning of the

bubble system could be started.

Initially, complex patterns such as the time were not tried, as the rough size of

the bubbles (determined by the length of time the solenoid was open) and spacing

between firings needed to be determined first. Upon coming up with rough values

33

for the number of milliseconds the solenoids were to be left open, and the time

between solenoid firings, the team tried to make more complicated patterns. It was

here that two issues were found that could not be fixed. The first of these problems

was that trailing bubbles paths were affected by bubbles higher in the tank. This led

to small deviations in the paths the bubbles took, or the speed at which they floated to

the surface. Problem number two was that there were small trailing bubbles that

came from the small section of tube connecting the solenoid valve to the base of the

tank. These small bubbles made it impossible to control the exact rate at which the

larger injected bubbles rose as their volumes were not constant each time the solenoid

was fired. The larger bubbles would catch up to and “eat” the smaller bubbles

causing them to rise faster. The outcome from the two issues can be seen in Figure

5.5; the injected bubbles start off at the bottom of the tank being fairly well aligned,

only to lose their precise placement as they rose to the surface.

Figure 5.5: Unaligned Bubble Rows

It was determined that these problems could not be fixed without a major

34

redesign and solenoids that were initially desired, but out of the team's price range.

Because of this, the team decided to make a series of patterns that were visually

appealing and would also be recognizable as the bubbles moved up the tank. The

final set of patterns is shown in the pictures below:

Figure 5.6: Bubble Pattern Sequence

6 Conclusion

The final product consisting of two separate tanks was a success; this success

can be gauged on the performance that was achieved during the demonstration during

Senior Project Day compared to the objectives that were set out by our group initially.

The final product showed the group's ability to:

• Effectively display the integration of multiple disciplines of engineering

within one project, including (but not limited to) fluid mechanics, machine design,

circuit design, and programming.

• Effectively display the concept of buoyancy in a unique and potentially

marketable way by injecting controlled air bubbles into a tank of Castor Oil to make

readily apparent patterns. Although characters were not able to be legibly created, the

proof of concept that given more time and funds this would be possible was shown.

• Interactively display the concept of streamlines in a unique way that let people

(both familiar and unfamiliar with the concept) understand and view them. Beyond

the unique presentation of streamlines, the way that they were demonstrated lets the

operator continuously run the system for an extended amount of time without having

to change the water like current systems in the market require.

• Recreate real-life systems' fluids phenomena such as deposition zones,

shedding vortices, and stagnation points that occur when fluid flows around different

shaped objects.

• Design, test, and debug a system from the inception of a unique idea.

• Create a final product that will outlive the duration of the Senior Project class

at UOP and be used as an outreach tool for the School of Engineering and Computer

36

Science, or as a learning tool for Fluid Mechanics courses in the future.

From this list of major points that describe the accomplishments of our final product,

it is clear that the motivations and objectives that were set out by our group at the

beginning of the project were met or exceeded. Beyond deeming our project a

success because our group was able to meet the goals that we set out to obtain at the

beginning, the reaction from the visitors that interacted with the streamline tank

showed that individuals were learning about complex fluid phenomena in a way that

was engaging and visually interesting.

7 Recommendations for Future Work

Although the project was a success in the team's eyes, there would be a few

things that would be extremely nice to change in the future. The first thing is

redesigning the bubble injector system in the vertical tank. The team believes that it

is possible to repeatably create bubbles that are the same size and have no small

trailing bubbles by using higher quality solenoids with a quicker response time that

do not have a length of tube connecting the outlet to the tank. The quicker response

time would allow for more finely tuned bubble sizes, while the lack of tube would

eliminate the small trailing bubbles.

To make it a more permanent installation, the team would like to have the

entire apparatus sit on something nicer than the modified tool cart used as a base. A

system that hides the pump, reservoir, and electronics from the user's eye's would

reduce the small amount of noise that the system creates, improve the aesthetics, and

ensure that nothing would be tampered with.

One final improvement would be to use bar magnets in the obstructions and

37

the obstruction's handles. Bar magnets would have given a user the ability to easily

rotate the shapes. Although it is possible to do it in the current configuration, it is not

as easy as simply rotating the handle, and thus detracts from the experience a small

amount.

2P Series Valves are DIRECT ACTING solenoid valves and do not require a minimum operating differential pressure. As shown below when the coil is energized (right diagram), it lifts the solenoid plunger, which normally rests on the valve seat and lifts it to open the main valve orifice. When the coil is de-energized (right diagram), the spring force the plunger return to the valve seat to close the valve orifice.

Electrical Coil Connections

For DIN Coil

To connect DIN coil: 1. Remove the Philip screw from the plastic housing and unplug it from the DIN coil. 2. From the screw opening, use the screw to push the terminal block out of the plastic housing. 3. Note the 1, 2 and ground markings on underside of DIN enclosure. 4. For DC DIN Coil, Connect 1 to Positive, 2 to Negative. 5. For AC DIN Coil, connect 1 to HOT wire, 2 to Neutral wire, and if required connect ground to ground wire.

For Grommet Coil To connect Grommet coil: 1. For DC Coil, connect one of the two wires to Positive, and the other wire to Negative.

Broad chemical, solvent, and corrosive atmospheric resistance with good dimensionalstability makes polyethylene suitable for many general applications.

Polyethylene is the most widely used tubing due to it’s low cost and chemicalcompatibility.

Polyethylene tubing is derived either from low-density polyehylene (LDP) or linearlow-density polythylene(LLDP). The advantage of the LLDP over the LDP is it’ssuperior environmental stress crack resistance (ESCR). Either type complies with theFDA regulation 21 CFR 177.1520© with regards to food contact applications.

Polyethylene is not as stable when exposed to sunlight as other tubings, but it ischemically inert.

Polyethylene tubing’s flexibility and abrasion resistance make it the ideal choice forpick-and-place and other automation applications.

When selecting polyethylene tubing it is good to keep in mind that not all types aresuitable for use with push-to-connect fittings. Only polyethylenes of a 95A durometerrating should be used for push-to-connect fittings. While the harder 95A is not asflexible as softer types of polyethylene, it is still more flexible than most other types oftubing.

Some of the softer polyethylenes such as 90A, 85A, or 70A can use a compressiontype fitting, but most should only be used with barb fittings.

Compared to other types of tubing, polyethylene is not as strong and thus tends tohave a lower pressure rating. The lower strength also results in thicker tubing walls fora given outside diameter. This reduces the flow capacity of the tubing.

Generally polyethylene should be used only in applications that require superior flexingcharacteristics, such as pick-and-place units.

Various grades of polyethylene are available to meet the specific requirements of FDA,USDA, or NSF. As a naturally rubbery material, polyethylene does not require anyplasticizers that could leach out over time.

Features & benefits of polyethylene:• Extremely flexible - extremely small bend radius is possible• Kink resistant• Abrasion resistant• Low gas permeability• Resistant to many chemicals

Chemical Information:Polyethylene is derived from Polyisocyanate and Polyol, and comes in two differentclasses; ester and ether.

The ether-based polyethylene (polytetra-methylene glycol ether) is the preferredchoice for pneumatic applications due to it’s resistance to moisture. Ester-basepolyethylene (polyester polycapro-lactone) while less expensive, and stronger, tendsto degrade when exposed to moisture.

• Broad range of corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility• Vermin and fungus proof

Swivel Leveling Mounts

The ball-and-socket nut in the base of these mounts allows a stud to swivel 15° to keep equipment level on uneven floors. They also let you position your equipment above the floor for convenient cleaning and inspection.

Mounts with stud include a removable nut. Mounts without stud can be used with your threaded rod or bolt. Grade 2 or 5 is recommended.

Mounts with nonskid pad add an extra measure of stability. Pad is black nitrile and has a temperature range of –20° to +170° F.

Nickel-Plated Steel—Provides some corrosion resistance.Black Luster Steel—Use where appearance is a concern.Yellow Zinc-Plated Steel—Offers more corrosion resistance than nickel.White Delrin—An economical choice in corrosive environments that don’t require

high load capacities. It’s also nonmarring. Temperature range is –20° to +170° F.Type 303 Stainless Steel—Resists corrosion when exposed to water and most

chemicals.Type 316 Stainless Steel—Provides superior corrosion resistance.

PRODUCT REVIEWS

I have a 55 gal aquarium and this air pump is great. I get some major bubbles.

I bought this pump 6 months ago and it still works great!!!!! It is not as quiet as I thought it

would be, but as long as it's working I don't care. This pump is worth the money and it's only

20.00.

Detailed Analysis

B.1 Horizontal Streamline Tank

B-1.1

B.1.1 Horizontal Flow Prototype

I. Introduction

The Fluid Flow Aeration Tank is comprised of two major sections, the character displaying bubble

wall and the fluid-filled countertop demonstrating streamline characteristics. The countertop section

has many components that affect the overall desired flow of the fluid in addition to the difficulty of

adding both air and water at the same time. In order to learn about possible issues that can arise in the

countertop, a small-scaled prototype was constructed and tested. The overall length of the countertop

was scaled down to about 14”, the width of the tank to 11”, and the thickness was kept about the same

as the preliminary design at about 1”. The purpose was to test a basic version of the system that was

going to be using in adding the fluid and the air bubbles at the same and determine its plausibility.

The result of the testing was about to bring up these major points: a baffle system must be

implemented at the entrance and the exit of the tank to create even flow throughout the tank and

prevent air bubbles from forming; revise the air bubble entry system to reduce the addition of

turbulence, decrease bubble diameter, create a distributed amount of bubbles long the length of the

tube; decrease the thickness of the tank to help the fluid carry the bubbles; and a more powerful pump

must be use.

II. Objectives

1. Determine if the pump supplied by Dr. Saviz is sufficient

2. Determine if the fluid is able to carry the bubbles from entry to exit

3. Observe the overall tank’s behavior to see if any necessary changes need to be made

III. Prototype

The prototype kept the overall dimensions of the full-scale design but was shortened for easier

testing and cost purposes.

The prototype was made from

an acrylic picture frame with a

top acrylic top panel glued on

top leaving a gap of about ½”

for water to escape. The fluid

was introduced through four

3/8” diameter openings

connected to a water source.

The air system consisted of a

5/16” diameter tube with

small holes punched every 1”

along the tube. That tube was

connected to an outside tube

where was manually

Entry Ports Hose Connection

Flow Exit

introduced by a person blowing into

the tube. The four entry holes were

connected through a branched

system connected to a pump

initially. After initially testing with

the 1/6 HP sump pump provided by

Dr. Saviz, it was found to be too

weak for our purposes. It was later

connected to a hose with a Y-valve

that can control the two flows

coming from the hose and four split

inflows for the prototype.

IV. Procedure

The testing of the prototype was a trial-and-error process. Observations were made with each run

and alterations were made in attempt to eliminate a problem. Some basic procedures were, however,

followed with each run.

1. Slowly introduce water into the tank without completely filling

2. Make adjustments with the split valve to even out the flow as much as possible

3. Fill the tank completely

4. Introduce air with tube by blowing air into it

5. Observe the fluid’s and bubble’s behavior in the tank

6. Make changes and repeat

V. Observations

Major problem(s):

- Fluid flow was still not consistent throughout the tank

Even with two sets of two entry tubes being controlled by a screw valve connect to the hose, we

were never able to match two inflows with another pair. This resulted in eddies forming in the tank

near the entry and collecting bubbles which eventually formed a large pocket of air on one side of

the tank.

The water had to exit the tank at a right angle which also created turbulence around the exit point

of the tank.

Figure 2: Back View of Countertop Prototype

Entry Ports

Makeshift baffles of about 3/16” in diameter were drilled on the exit side of the tank so the fluid can

more easily flow out parallel to the direction it was traveling. This alone dramatically reduced the

amount of turbulence throughout the entire tank.

- Air entry system was not sufficient

Bubbles entered the system almost randomly and in different sizes. The system also added extra

pressure which affected the fluid flow in the tank.

Minor problem(s):

- Leveling the tank became an issue since it affected the travel of the air bubbles and flow of the

tank

VI. Results

The inconsistent flow of the fluid was a major problem and affected the tank’s dynamic greatly.

Baffles were originally going to be in the final design of the tank, but it was not considered in the small-

scale test. After it was observed to make such a positive difference in the prototype test, the preliminary

design will now include baffles at the entry and exit point. This will create a more even flow of water

right at the beginning and allow it to exit with the least amount of turbulence to prevent it from

affecting the flow around it.

The air system needed to be revised and tested to allow for more bubbles to exit with the least

amount of pressure change so that it doesn’t affect the flow of the water. Also, the introduction of a

more widely distributed amount of smaller bubbles will display the flow characteristics more easily. This

will led to an additional analysis of an aquarium-style aerator that produces a wall of small bubbles at a

low pressure.

VII. Conclusion

A baffle system will be necessary if we want the tank to have consistent flow which is paramount

since it carries the purpose of this section of the project. The testing and analysis of the redesigned

aeration system will also be done in the future.

This version of Bernoulli's includes friction and minor losses due to contractions, expansions, curves, friction, etc. Tofind the minor losses, one needs to find the Reynolds number for each geometrically different section of the system, therelative roughness value for each geometrically different section of the system, and from these the friction factor from aMoody diagram which includes the type of pipe that one is working with.

From here, the individual friction losses of each geometrically different section can be found by using the Darcy-Weisbach

At this point, the total head loss in the system can be determined, and thus the required pump power can be determined

B.1.4 Exit Flow Analysis

Exit Flow Rate of the Horizontal Tank Analysis


Senior Project

Problem:

A suitable exit area needs to be determined for the exit of an open air exit reservoir in order to

allow the water to exit fast enough to maintain a reasonably high, known, flow rate. The flow rate of

the horizontal tank is known, as well as all relevant dimensions.

Assumptions:

It will be assumed that this can be treated as non-dynamic system, neglecting many factors such

as turbulence that may exist due to water velocities and geometric obstructions. The C factor used is

assuming a sharp edged exit port, which may not be true in some cases, but is a good representative of

a worst case scenario.

Discussion:

The horizontal tank has a predetermined known flow rate of 1200 gallons per hour. Using

equation 1.1, we can determine the velocity of the water and break down the flow rate into units that

are easier to work with. Refer to section 1.1 for calculations and further information.

Knowing the horizontal tank's flow rate into the exit reservoir and assuming that the reservoir is

not at pressure (allowing the aeration bubbles to escape). In effect this allows the exit reservoir to act

as an orifice discharge to atmosphere. The exit flow rate can be determined for the exit reservoir using

a modified version of the Bernoulli's equation as shown as equation 1.2. The equation is described and

worked out using two depths, the first depth is at the exit of the reservoir (assuming it is released to

open air), and at the second depth the true exit of the reservoir.

Work:

For all work done refer to Figure 1 for clarification.

Conclusion:

The flow rate at both the exit of the reservoir and the PVC exit pipe greatly surpass the flow rate

of the horizontal tank into the exit reservoir. This would allow the flow rate necessary to maintain the

visual and engineering characteristics needed for the horizontal tank. A flow control valve can also be

added to the exit port to even more carefully control flow rates.

wall and the fluid-filled countertop demonstrating streamline characteristics. The bubble wall will be

displaying characters in a fluid using air bubbles injected from the bottom. With that, it is important to

select the right fluid that will be cost-effective but serve our purpose well. One of the main determining

factors of selecting the right fluid involves how fast a bubble of air will rise in the given fluid, so it will be

important in looking at fluid viscosities. The fluids tested were water, mineral oil, and shampoo.

II. Objectives

1. Determine the rise time of a bubble of a set volume in various fluids

III. Apparatus

The test apparatus consisted of a plastic tube with a rubber stopper on one end. A ruler was also

taped to the side for measuring the distance traveled by the bubble. A “flavor injector”, essentially an

oversized syringe, was used to inject the bubbles from the end with the stopper.

Figure 1: Buoyancy Test Apparatus

IV. Procedure

1. Fill past the last measuring point with fluid

2. Fill the syringe with air by retracting the puller to be able to inject a bubble with a volume of

about 5ml

3. Insert the syringe in the stopper

4. Inject the air

5. Time the bubble between the start and end points for a three trials

6. Repeat step 2-5 for a bubble volume of about 5ml

7. Discard and replace fluid with the next type of fluid

8. Repeat steps 2-7

V. Observations

- Water

Bubble rose through the tube almost too quickly to even be measured. Although the cheapest, it

cannot be used as it will be impossible to read anything displayed with bubbles in a tank with water.

- Mineral Oil

Was expecting to be a quite more viscous than the water, but the times were only slightly slower

than those of water. Although the bubbles were spherical in shape, it still rose too quickly for our

purposes.

- Shampoo

The shampoo took the longest of the three for the bubble to rise. Compared the split second rise

time of the bubble in water, the shampoo’s 45 second rise time was way too slow. The bubble was

also not spherical in shape but had a tail of sorts.

VI. Results and Data

With the data we collected, none of the fluids we tested could be used in the final tank. From a

visual inspection, the mineral oil was still way too thin and the shampoo was way too thick. The rise

times also supported this theory. This means we would be looking into something with a viscosity

between the two fluids, but more towards the shampoo’s end. In comparison of the calculated viscosity

values with those from tables of viscosities various fluids, it was found that castor oil closely matched

our desired viscosity of about 1000 cP (approximately that of glycerin).Castor oil is readily available and

is fairly inexpensive in comparison to glycerin.

VII. Conclusion

The results and data provided a good idea of what viscosity to look for in deciding on which fluid to

use for the vertical bubble tank. Searching for a fluid with similar viscosity to glycerin, castor was found

to be a great candidate as the fluid used for the vertical tank.

select the right fluid that will be cost-effective but serve our purpose well. One of the main determining

factors of selecting the right fluid involves how fast a bubble of air will rise in the given fluid, so it will be

important in looking at fluid viscosities. Preliminary testing has already been completed with mineral oil

and shampoo, where the results provided too wide of a viscosity range to look. In this analysis, a wider

range of fluids will be tested; Dawn dish soap, Dawn Antibacterial dish soap, Ultra Palmolive

Antibacterial dish soap, Ultra Palmolive Original dish soap, mineral oil, and glycerin.

II. Objectives

1. Measure the viscosity of fluids for comparative analysis

III. Apparatus

The test apparatus is a falling ball viscometer where a sealed tube filled is with a fluid. Also inside

the tube is a stainless steel sphere specific for the viscometer size that will allow us to determine the fall

time of the ball in the fluid. In this analysis a size two and three viscometer were used, each with a

specific sizing constant that primarily accounts for size.

IV. Procedure

1. Measure the fluid properties (mass of 10mL of fluid and beaker)

2. Measure the stainless steel spherical bearing properties (mass, size)

3. Fill the viscometer with the fluid and place the sphere inside

4. Measure the fall time for a distance of 0.10 meters

5. Repeat steps 1-3 with a different fluid

6. Calculate viscosity using the equation:

� = �(�� − ��)�

Where:

µ = Fluid absolute viscosity (cP)

K = Viscometer constant

��= density of ball (g/mL)

��= density of liquid (g/mL)

t = time (minutes)

V. Results

The glycerin, as expected, had the longest rise time and in turn had the highest viscosity (Table

4). The dish soaps were found to be unusable for the bubble wall as their viscosities were lower than

the mineral oil, which was deemed to be too thin in the Horizontal Flow Analysis. Using the high

viscosity value of glycerin as a goal for the fluid viscosity used in the vertical tank, it was found that

on various viscosities of common fluids that castor had one of the closest viscosity values (985 cP)

and most realistic application due to its fairly inexpensive price and availability.

VI. Conclusion

Although we would want to use glycerin as the working fluid in the bubble tank, it would not be

economical as the price of glycerin is very high (approximately $2.00 a fluid ounce). Using glycerin’s

viscosity as a baseline, it was found that castor oil could be used. With a viscosity at about 985 cP

(compared to glycerin’s 1063.24 cP), it should perform about the same as glycerin. Castor oil has many

uses in the industrial field and should be about to withstand the elements of standing still in a calm

environment. It might also be noted that only the mineral oil was tested in the type two viscometer,

which is smaller. While the viscometer constant should take this into account, it is felt that since the fall

time was so much longer more accurate results can be obtained by using the smaller viscometer size

when possible.
