Design Goals

Fall 2008 Team Members

Overall Goal – continue to improve the automation of the design with built in checks for reasonable values ie. When can sed tank water depth be lowered from the 2m design.
- - Whole Team to be divided as issues are encountered
Aid Honduras Team with individual plant designs as they are presented to us
- - Whole Team to be divided as issues are encountered
Explore other methods of designing the sedimentation tank. Should b be set?
- - Sara
Adjust baffle placement in the flocculation tank for odd numbered baffles
- - Tania
Create design pages for sample tanks at different flow rates. For flow rates from 50 gal/min to 1200 gal/min in 100 gal/min increments. Pages will note what portions of the design aren't automated and recommend values.
- - We will be working in pairs initially for these, but will split off for efficiency in 1 month.
  - To be completed by Oct. 15
Documenting Design Algorithms on the Wiki -
- - Sara - Lamella, Sedimentation, Slopes, Exit Channel
  - Tania - Math Functions, Pipe Database, Inlet Channel, Fluids Functions
  - Cherish - User Inputs, Design Assumptions, Entrance Tank, Minor Loss Coefficients
  - Reiko - FCM, Fluids Functions, Launder, Sludge Drain
