Research of Potential Design Options: Since proving our two initial hypotheses, our team has done extensive research and experimentation to determine the best design recommendations for the AguaClara inlet manifold. This document outlines each design idea, any shows models built , and links to videos of experiments, and provides an evaluation.
Reflection Report #1: Two crude models were used to reveal that the horizontal component of the velocity out of the ports may be a key factor to solving the floating floc / uneven flow distribution problem. The team identified the initial challenges of the project and developed a detailed task list and schedule to move forward in researching the inlet manifold.
