Grant: Research Tools and Instruments - Category 1 (<$150,000)
University of British Columbia
$134,420.00
Fibre analysis tools
EF 2007-08
Résumé
The UBC Pulp and Paper Centre is an interdisciplinary research centre focusing on research for the pulp and paper industry. The Fibre Quality Analyzer is a unique device, originally developed at UBC, that provides measurement of fibre characteristics such as length, width, curl, etc... essential to the understanding of pulping and papermaking processes. To optimize the operation of pulp screens and pumping operation in pulping and papermaking operations, it is essential to understand the motion of fibres near surfaces. For this purpose, a high-speed digital video camera will be used to validate our mathematical models that describe such fibre motion.
