Project Description
This position involves the experimental study of free surface liquid jet impingement on a moving surface. We have previously studied the impingement of a Newtonian cylindrical liquid jet on a moving surface. We would now like to study non-Newtonian cylindrical liquid jet impingement and/or two-dimensional (planar) liquid jet impingement.
Special requirements (department, GPA, specific courses, year level, skills)
Third or fourth year standing in MECH or CHBE. Experimental experience important. Familiarity with design and production of simple mechanical devices. Experience connecting transducers to LABview also an asset.
