Saltwater
Flume Temperature Regulator Project
Objective
To determine
the best solution to the problem of removing excess heat in a
saltwater
flume.
Background
Housed
at the FSU Marine Laboratory, is a saltwater flume. This flume is
used to
conduct
many different tests and experiments involving saltwater. The system
that is
currently
being used has a setup of four 1hp pumps. These pumps are adding
excess
heat to
the water in the flume, which affects the experiments being conducted.
Coastal
Research Inc. has been commissioned by Dr. Thistle to erase this
problem
in two semesters (Fall 2000 and Spring 2001).
