Overall, I helped with the consolidation of all the programs. Leslie wrote more of the flocculaton code but we both helped brainstormed ways to implement it, even with the help of the AutoCAD team and with Monore. There was a problem with the way the Gtheta was being calculated, and after this was fixed we could run the code. Additionally, through creating the spreadsheet to determine what was wrong, we figured out that placing the baffles into the two channels needed fine tuning. It was decided that at this point we would only code for the case with two channels, although we had aspirations to enhance the code to allow for more channels. At this point teams should focus on more research on further flocculation and expanding the capabilities of the master program. Furthermore, I think it is important to begin to compile a materials list of lamella, elbows, and pipe sizes needed for the construction of the plant.

As far as the final algorithm and final report for the unit processes team, I only reviewed what Leslie completed in regards to the flocculator. I wrote the abstract, basis of design and the internal design sections. I went through all the WIKI pages and updated links and continued to follow through with minutes for our team. (Note: Many other meetings were not recorded with we worked alone!) I also went through where all the variables were listed to ensure they all matched up.
