7/17/2009
Accomplishments
- Finished coding the new weirs at the end of the inlet and exit channels
Horizontal Flow Group
Accomplishments
- Reviewed current code for flocculator
- Noted any values that would potentially need to be changed to allow horizontal flow
Issues
- What inhibits the design from just being an 'if' statement that for the most part rotates the tank 90 degrees?
Goals for Upcoming Week
- Meet with Monroe to discuss ideas and more theory behind switch
Floc Hopper Group
Accomplishments
Issues
- Worked more on MtoA code for floc hopper. Added array code and fixed incorrect code.
Issues
- Unsure of whether to place floc hopper at the entrance or the exit of the sedimentation tank.
- Still need to figure out correct placement of floc hopper.
Goals for upcoming week
- Will email Monroe with our question about floc hopper placement.
- Finish the MtoA code.
Floc Tank Group
Accomplishments
- Discovered that ports are not in fact taking up the whole height of the floc tank, but rather are drawing in the negative direction
Issues
- Baffle spacing is currently too small and must be changed so as to ensure the width and height calculations of the ports come out to be positive
...
- Ensure that a minimum baffle spacing is achieved
- Draw slots for the baffles
