WEEK 3

Week 3:April 19th, 2017 - April 25th, 2017

       In the beginning of Week 3, lots of more research was conducted in order to establish values like, Reynolds number, Froude's number, Bernoulli's equation, the viscosity of the fluid, the velocity of the capsule, and the pressure of the air. The team split up the research and worked efficiently and productively throughout class in order to gain as much information as possible. Also, the team went around to various departments in search of materials so that we do not have to buy it all. From there we developed a supply list that is necessary to be bought. Tyler will be utilizing his amazon prime account in order for all the materials to arrive on time. Since time is quickly running out it is extremely important that we productively utilize all the time we have left. Then, Tyler and Sofia met with Dr. Abdel-Aal and discussed ways to calculate these values. We came to the realization during the meeting that any calculations involved with this assignment are beyond our mathematical capabilities, due to the fact that we have no background in fluid mechanics. So, for these values, like the amount of pressure, the length of the pipe, the distance of the two magnets from each other, will all have to be justified using trial and error.
