Pump Fest 2002

Fluid Mechanics I

Pump Fest 2002 was held on October 28, 2002 in the Rowan University Water Resources Engineering Laboratory at 8:30 a.m.  Now in its third 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:

Design problem statement
Additional constraints
