Briefly, the objectives of the reporting period of this quarterly report were:n1). to complete the installation of the new low turbulence wind tunnel, perform flow calibration, determine the tunnel turbulence level, retest previously tested surfaces, and start testing new perforated surfaces.n2). to continue the literature search, make analytical studies of the effect of variation in matrix inlet temperature on the maximum slope calculation procedure, and to establish a procedure for running tests that will optimize the number of experiments needed for correlating the desired number of parameters.n3). to construct a flow visualization tunnel and commence tests to study the flow behavior over perforated plates.n4). to continue bi-weekly reports as per schedule.
