For this Fall 2010 semester, I am working on the Inlet Manifold team. We are collectively working on experiments to investigate Some major achievements of our semester include proving the presence of pressure recovery in the inlet manifold. I did the calculations for a scaled down model of the inlet manifold. Together with the rest of the team, I helped carry out the flow collection experiments which are described in our Experiments and Data Analysis page. Also, I helped to document our work by drawing sketches, taking pictures and videos, which I then compiled in , and discovering the horizontal velocity component of the exiting jets. These contributed to the circular flow we observed in dye tests on a model of the sedimentation tank. My main contributions this semester were mainly to help document our discoveries by:

• Taking videos, editing them and then posting them on Youtube (channel available here)
• Creating a summary videos page on the Wiki
• Compiling our dye test results into a document on potential design options together with Katie
• Providing graphics support on our reports
• Creating and updating the Design and Models page.

Currently, our team is working on producing design recommendations. I am working on a document that explains why and how we would increase the inlet manifold from a 6" to an 8" pipe as a potential retrofit as well as a design for a new plant. This will be available in the appendix of our final report I also helped to edit the first two Reflection Reports.
