Reflection Report #4: Our team continued dye testing on two new models, testing the effects of baffles and tapered spacing on the manifold. The previous issues we experienced with our pressure sensor were resolved and we were able to collect data, measuring the pressure difference between the beginning and end of the manifold. We also used our apparatus as a monometer to visually measure the pressure differential.
Reflection Report #5: Our final reflection report high lights all of our work from the semester, but specifically focuses on a new model we built and our investigation into launders. We built a clear, PVC model and experimented with differently modeled jets that functions as baffles within the manifold. Our work also focused on determining the effects of launders and how necessary they are for future AguaClara plants. Finally, we also reconfirmed our predicted values for pressure recovery between the first and last ports using a "home made" monometer.
