Spring 2009 Mid-Semester Contributions
I am a member of the Design team. I have spent the semester becoming familiar with the design files, and updating the sedimentation tank inlet manifold program. In this program, I redefined the width of the inlet manifold to be a function of the width of a sedimentation tank, the width of the sludge drain, and the thickness of the slope plate. I went through all of the other files to update the functions that used half of the width of the sedimentation tank when in actuality the width of the inlet slope was needed. I also edited the function that calculated the maximum possible length of a sedimentation tank, and then added a check that the calculated length of the sedimentation tank does not exceed the maximum length. I have also started updating the variable naming guide to reflect the new and edited variables in the inlet manifold program. I added the hopper program to the Gracias design file, and I added a function within this program to determine the offset distance from the inlet channel that the top of the hopper needs to be. I also moved input variables into the input variables page instead of them being at the top of the program for which they are used. I have updated the Cuatro Communidades page to now have the correct dimensions that have been used in the plant. Overall, I have spent a lot of time debugging and checking to make sure that changed variable names were changed in all programs so that everything was correct and consistent.
