Adela's Individual Contribution Page

Summer 2009

I am a member of the Floating Floc Team.

I'm on the Design team, and throughout the first half of the spring semester I've been working mostly with MathCAD. In the beginning, I was helping Heather Reed with the spreadsheet of specifications for the Gracias plant, one of the largest AguaClara plants, with the flow rate of 300 L/min. I also updated the description for the Quatro Communidades plant. Additionally, I updated the Fluid Functions section in our MathCAD Master Program file with the formula, based on Monroe's comments, which calculates the area of a floc port with given energy dissipation rate to ensure that flocs will not break up.
I also created Automated materials list, which calculates the total length and the total number of various system components. Additionally, I documented the Sedimentation Tank Dimensions.
