Finally, we made a list of the future challenges for the next students that work on the materials list and also added a link to the design tool server on the materials list wiki page.
Fall 2009 Contributions
I have been working on editing the design of the tanks at the end of the inlet and exit channels. The new design has the tanks cantilever off the side of the sedimentation tank, whereas the old design had extend from the base of the plant to the top of the sedimentation tank. I have edited the MathCAD file "SedTank - w/Pieces" to change the height of the tanks and to reflect the new design. This new design saves materials and allows for the new drainage system.
I am also editing the AutoCAD script for the design of the distribution and waste piping system (inside "SedTank - w/Pieces"). I am rotating the waste pipe elbow in the exit tank so that it faces the inlet tank. I am also changing the elbow in the inlet channel to a tee so that a pipe can be created that connects the inlet channel to the exit channel for the waste system.
I edited the Inlet and Exit Channel wiki pages to reflect the new design.
