I have been working with Andrew Hirshfield to continue modifying the inlet and exit weir tanks. I have made design changes to the heights and positioning of the tanks so there is no overlap with inlet channel or the weirs. I have added the pipe connecting from the waste elbow in the exit weir tank to the inlet tee and have rotated the tee to meet the waste system guidelines. All changes have been added to the sedtankw/pieces MathCAD file.

I have created a Wiki page for the inlet and exit weir tanks and Andrew Hirshfield is helping add to it.

The inlet tee has been correctly rotated and the connecting pipe dimension has been corrected for the automated design. I also changed the elevation of the tee, elbows, and weir pipes so that the midpoint of the tee and elbow outlets are equal to the origin points of the sedimentation tank drain valves. The elevations were also changed with the fact that the drain channel origin will be at z = 0 in mind.

I added the inlet channel pipe plugs to the sedimentation tank code. They were lost when the chimney design was scrapped.

I spent a good part of the second semester debugging various plant designs by testing them with the Beta Server and the ADT. I found various errors in different parts of the plant and delegated the fixing of these tasks to other members of the design team and also fixed the errors in the codes that I was familiar with. Debugging the plant designs was the most beneficial task I have undertaken while working on the AguaClara project. It helped me learn about different parts of the plant and expanded my knowledge in different areas of design for the project. I have had a great time working on the project this semester and look forward to coming back in the fall and continuing my work.
