Organization
UA Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering
Offering
ENGR498-F2024-S2025
Key things are to
1. Revise design to eliminate temperature impact on laser signal to allow system operation from 0 to 50C
a. Likely through addition of beam splitter/dual detector system
By successfully completing above tasks, the need for existing temperature control system that has failed in the field destroying the sensor system is eliminated
2. Develop a new in-situ sensor and mount that will allow direct sensing in algae raceway (pond). Current design requires a pump to flow pond water through the sensor mounted outside the pond.
a. Mount should prevent sensor rotation (so it can’t be just held by a cable)
b. Mount should be adjustable to allow sensor to collect data from 2” to 6” above raceway floor
