Pump Fest 2001

Pump Fest 2001 was held on October 25, 2001 in the Rowan University Water Resources Engineering Laboratory at 8:30 a.m.  Now in its second year, PumpFest is the culmination of a four week project where third-year Civil and Environmental Engineering students design, build, test, and evaluate positive displacement pumps.  Pumps are evaluated in three categories:

• Maximum flowrate
• Maximum pressure head
• Pump closest to design flow rate of 1 liter per minute

The Teams

	Aaron Gerber Tom Fargnoli Dale Snyder (not shown)	2.66 L/min Winner - Maximum Flow	17 psi
	Clint Oman Rosie Tortorice Stacey Bush	2.38 L/min	18 psi
	Matt Magill Craig Agin Joe Weaver	2.39 L/min	28 psi
	Jessica Fusaro Laura Miller Jim Laicovsky	0.91 L/min Winner - Closest to Design Flow	170 psi Winner - Maximum Pressure
	Joe Michiels Andy Zeleznock Steve Diglio	1.96 L/min	22 psi
	Scott Moore Jeff Delessio Paul Witthohn	1.59 L/min	33 psi
	Mike Willis Jinsy Babu John Witthohn	2.65 L/min	64 psi
