    Description
    This Request for Proposals (the “RFP”) is an invitation by the University of Ottawa (the “University”) to prospective proponents to submit proposals for Stereo Micro Particle Image Velocimetry System, as further described in Appendix D (RFP Particulars) Section A (the “Deliverables”).
    The stereo-µPIV/LIF system will be used to investigate three-dimensional velocity and scalar (e.g., concentration, temperature) fields in small-scale continuous-flow miniaturized contactors. The system will be used to make in plane three-component (2D-3C) velocity measurements in flow channels up to 1.25 mm × 1.25 mm in cross-section with local fluid velocities up to 2 m/s. Local velocity measurement error must be less than 1% and the spatial resolution must allow velocity measurements to 0.01 mm, even near the wall at high shear rate.

    For further details, please download the RFP package.
