This semester I have been a part of the chemical dosing team. Although I originally started working on the hydraulic design e.g. tube sizing and orifice sizing, my files were compiled with Yoon Choi's MathCad file and he has essentially taken "ownership" of the hydraulic design and . I therefore have no significant conclusions or documents on concerning this early stage of the project.
I have since been working primarily with Harrison and a bit with Akta to design the mechanical end of our doser. Our design uses components from manufactured by 80/20 structural aluminum: http: //www.8020.net/. They offer an Autocad plug in which we have been using to create our designsused to assist in our design process. This has allowed us to create detailed enough structures that we can easily analyze and modify. We have created 3 versions and are planning on meeting with Monroe on Monday to get the final approval. I will update this to reflect this meeting.

of our doser and have chosen to construct the model which will allow our orifice to be moved in line with the pivot, thereby allowing positive shut-off by the operator.
