We incorporated the head loss estimation functions in the error checking code to calculate the head loss through each component including the head loss which was not originally included in the design code. The functions being used in the design code were also checked for consistency with the design philosophy followed in CEE 4540. Additional head loss functions were added in the code to reflect the entire path of water through each element of the component using the basic principles of fluid mechanics for hydraulic head estimation. After the head loss estimation, we also incorporated any checks or constraints explicitly mentioned in the design code to make the code even more comprehensive. To ensure mitigation of serious design issues like flooding, the code also checks for water depths in each tank.
The purpose of this code would be is to ensure that all constraints critical to the overall design of the plant are accounted for, in the final designs provided by the design tool. The objective of our task is to was also ensure that the integrity of the design code is maintained as the code gets more comprehensive.
