Flow Direction First Fluid Chamber Design Assumption: That each cross section area receives a single pulse.
Flow Direction Second Fluid Chamber Design Assumption: That each cross section area receives three pulses.
Goals • Design, Manufacture, and Dye test a working fluid chamber that fulfills the following constraints: • DC Power Source with 10 kV • 1 Pulse per a second • Highly conductive material for the discharging plates • Ability to sterilize a cup of water in a reasonable time • Peristaltic pump to create the volumetric flow rate
Extra Circular Activities • Test the fluid chamber with E-coli • Culture the E-coli • Determine the kill rate and Effectiveness • Try different Voltage and Flow rates
