Spring 2013[ENGR 305] Multidisciplinary Group Assignment Dr. Carl McIntyre Due Date: Finals Week Spring 2013 A Company that produces a magnetic fluid that can include nanoparticles read your group report on nanofluids and desires to hire you. Another company that produces synthetic drilling muds likewise has examined your report and wants to use your expertise. Both companies have submitted reports desiring your expertise on the behavior of fluids containing solid particles of different sizes. For this project you must produce one report for each company. As well as a visual basic program that you in your entrepreneurial spirit decided could be useful on the side if another company came to consult with you. This project requires collaborating with an interdisciplinary team to accomplish and design new fluid formulations having solid and liquid components. Make sure you cover the necessary components and stay within the length limit. You should turn in 2 Reports, and one CD containing your VB program on it. Program for VB Startup Form Necessary Inputs Input for Particles: Particles[Textbox] Size (Diameter)[textbox], Density[textbox], Shape [drop down box](Options: Smooth Spheres, Rough Crystals, Fibers. Assume Spheres for two reports) Input for Fluid: Fluid[Textbox], Density[Textbox], Viscosity [Textbox] Input for Suspension: Volume Fraction of Solid [Textbox] Input for Adding Thickening Agent: Relative Viscosity of Suspension [LabelBox], Amount of Thickening Agent[Textbox] Necessary Calculations Reynold Number for Particles Terminal Velocity by Newton’s Law Terminal Velocity by Stokes Law Criteria K for Regime of Settling Void Fraction of the Suspension (or Liquid Void Fraction) Settling Velocity of the Suspension Relative Viscosity of the Suspension By Newton’s Law Relative Viscosity of the Suspension By Batchelor’s Law Relative Viscosity of the Suspension By Kitano-Kataoko’s Law (A=0.68 for spheres, 0.44 for rough crystals, 0.32 for fibers) Suggestion(Not…
