While the existing dosing tube function was written to generate an extra dosing tube when there is only one dosing tube designed, the goal this semester was to modify the code so that an extra dosing tube would be generated at all times, and the manifold code was modified to match the changes to the dosing tubes. Since the added redundancy presented a problem with the fitting of the manifold system on the entrance tank wall when the plant flow rate is below 35 L/s, a temporary solution was to raise the height of the entrance tank wall by 0.4m. While the added height would not hinder maintenance as the raised wall height would be about the same as that of a 60 L/s plant, we recommended the future team to seek a solution that doesn't require an increase in construction costs.
Flexible Tubing Function
Another task that I focused on towards the end of the semester was the checking and updating of the FlexTubeF, which was used to draw the flexible tubing in order to better represent the CDC system.
