This week, we completed the agitator tests for the Vertical and Zig-Zag structures, but unfortunately, the Pyramid structure still could not undergo testing due to its size not fitting into the agitator. Each model was subjected to a minimum of five agitation cycles. The agitation speed of 80 rpm was maintained for all cycles to ensure consistent testing conditions. The volume of water spilled from the top of each structure was measured and recorded after each cycle:
Zig-Zag Structure Spillage (ml):
Cycle 1: 50 ml
Cycle 2: 75 ml
Cycle 3: 72 ml
Cycle 4: 59 ml
Cycle 5: 68 ml
Mean= (550+75+72+59+68)/5 = 64.8ml
The water spillage fluctuated between 50 ml and 75 ml, with the highest spillage occurring in the second cycle.
The results indicate that the Zig-Zag structure is relatively stable, with moderate water spillage that did not drastically increase over the cycles.
Vertical Structure Spillage (ml):
Cycle 1: 46 ml
Cycle 2: 166 ml
Cycle 3: 185 ml
Cycle 4: 118 ml
Cycle 5: 152 ml
Mean= (46+166+185+118+152)/5= 133.4ml
The water spillage was significantly higher, especially in the second and third cycles (166 ml and 185 ml), which suggests that this structure is less stable compared to the Zig-Zag design.
However, the spillage decreased in the fourth and fifth cycles, indicating some degree of settling or adaptation to the agitation.
Pyramid Structure:
Due to size constraints, the Pyramid structure was not tested, so we cannot compare its stability with the other two structures.
