Friday, March 27

Accomplishments
  • Variable Naming Guide has been updated
  • Monroe has made changes to the VNG where descriptions will be given in different languages
  • Ecuador and Gracias designs are updated and complete with the new changes
    • Designs submitted to each party
Outcomes
  • MathCAD codes are almost complete and enough is done to start updating the AutoCAD codes
  • Next step is to put everything online (Monroe with Labview) and get AutoCAD working
  • Start of automated Materials List will be created parallel to updating AutoCAD and MathCAD codes (by Reiko & Adela)
    • Question for engineers: Is it more important to have area or volume for the walls?
Issues
  • Descriptions need to be made clear & concise for the VNG
  • Algorithm for valve sizes needs to be included and drawn
  • Floc hopper drain program still not complete
  • Sludge drain dimensions needs to be changed--height to width ratio?
  • Flocculator baffle code needs to be updated--what is the ideal number of baffles for a channel?
  • Flocculator needs to be able to be drained--add ports to the bottom of the baffles, add ports with flaps, or add drain similar to the sludge drain?
