Spring 2009 Goals

  1. Update Variable Naming Guide
    • Create a new naming guide based on programs currently being used. Each variable should be complete with the definition, where it is used, and where it is calculated.
  2. Edit Flocculation program
    • Rewrite program from an energy dissipation approach.
    • Correct placement of baffles for AutoCAD drawing. The algorithm needs to determine where the baffles start based on the entrance tank.
    • Add checks for port hole placement vs water level and baffle placement vs port hole.
  3. Edit the Semintation Slopes program
    • Correct arbitrary assumptions - velocity ratio.
    • Automate the program to check for reasonable values.
    • Update slopes program variables to incorporate triangular and trapazoidal geometries in the other programs.
    • Changes made for 4 Communities need to be incorporated into the general program.
  4. Check AutoCAD dimensions to make sure the plant is being drawn correctly
    • Make sure code includes geometry-specific dimensions for the Sedimentation Slopes program.
    • Make sure all components draw correctly for Sedimentation Tank--location of plate settlers, exit launder.
    • Incorporate change from sludge pipe to sludge channel.
    • Inlet pipes into slopes need to be changed to concrete voids--no longer pipes. Make sure to change corresponding layer.
  5. Update Algorithm Documentation for MathCAD programs
    • Make sure rendered images are shown with dimensions.
    • Make sure variable lists is updated.
    • Edit for clarity. Each member to review.
  6. Organization
    • Programs for each design need to be filed accordingly to easily review at a later point.
    • Detailed dimensions of each plant need to be posted on the Wiki with AutoCAD drawing.
  7. AutoCAD Documentation
    • Update documentation for current programs--make sure variables are correct.
    • Finish adding pictures to Sedimentation Tank documentation page.
  8. Work on plant designs as presented throughout the semester
