Design Team Quiz

Ideas:

  • Must know the different elements of the plant
    • i.e., It's composed of an entrance tank, flocculator, etc.
  • Example problem:
    • Given a flow rate and other/different design assumptions, the person must design a plant
    • Tests their knowledge of where things are located in the program and where those changes need to be made

Questions:

1. Describe the processes occurring in the entrance tank, vertical flocculator and sedimentation tank.

2. Describe the major design criteria that should be considered in the design of the sedimentation slopes. Also what benefits do the slopes have over the original design of inlet pipes.

3. Why were the slopes changed from triangles to trapezoids?

4. What is the purpose of having the exit channel switch sides of the tank? and when both channels are on the same side of the tank which one is closer to the wall?

5. Design a plant with a design flow rate of 800 gal/min. Include an accurate autocad drawing. (should we include other design assumptions (target tank depth?)

6. Design a plant with a design flow rate of 200 gal/min. Include an accurate autocad drawing.

7. Suggest one improvement you see for some part of the plant design.
