As encouraged by the interesting paper “Solar eclipses as a teaching opportunity in relativity” by Overduin et al.,awe made measurements of the angular deflections of neighboring stars during the 9 March 2016 total solar eclipse as imaged by National University of Singapore (NUS) students, to verify a result of general relativity. In this project, we used these images and measured the stars’ pixel positions and transformed them to equatorial coordinates using a similar approach to Overduin et al., with a few modifications. Instead of solving to determine the pixel scale and rotation, we performed a plate solution using the software AstroImageJ which enables accounting for the image’s higher order distortion. This data is found in the image’s Flexible Image Transport System (FITS) header. Image star pair separations were then compared to their database separations after determining how the individual deflections affect angular separation. Our experimental results have large uncertainties and were deemed imprecise to confirm the effects of gravitational light deflection. We include a detailed analysis and discussion on this educational project.

During the operation of the hydrocyclone the cut size diameter is the most important data. This is connected to feed rate, which is closely related to the feed cross section. Preliminary research has revealed that square cross-section is more effective than circular cross-section. The research compared 2 types of feed cross sections at 5 different feed rates. One is a standard rectangular cross-section and the other is a square cross-section that narrows with a baffle plate. Preliminary calculations for cut size diameter have shown that better particle separation at all speeds can be achieved with the baffle plate solution. In both types, the increased velocity created decreased cut size diameter. During the simulation, the baffle plate did not cause any abnormalities in the internal pressure and velocity distributions. The simulation revealed that the particles did not behave as previously calculated.
