Minutes from 11/14/2000 meeting at FSU:

Each group member went over there calculations

Machinist came up with an idea of using a chiller

-need to find out what material can be used
-Find a type of chiller that has fluid flowing through it

Ivan’s idea seems to be the best except creating a water jacket would be a challenge

-Needs to find out the coefficient of the PVC currently used in the flume

Machinist arrives

-Dave Oliff
-doliff@ocean.fsu.edu

Dave really doesn’t see where Ivan’s idea would fit in the room with the flume

Ideas about PET (polyethylene) piping

Arnett shared a new concept

Arnett’s old idea would need to use dionized water

            -Sherwood manufactured
            -Norel plastic on outside of pump
