*If you don't have the working algorithm, assign order of magnitude values to variables. For instance orifice diameters could all be specified as 2 cm until later in the semester when you get to the code.
Definition of Tasks
Finish Documenting Design Assumptions in MathCAD and on the Wiki.
*Describe the entire algorithm's process on the wiki, not just what values we set
*Cement the user inputs
*Test codes for a range of flow rates--find a standardized way to do this
*Document results
*Check and edit the wiki pages for inputs and outputs to subprograms
Trying Out New Designs
- April 4 and on.
- During this time we will be making new designs. The Tamara plant should be about finished and we will need new designs for APP to start making budgets.
Improving the Report and Its Content.
- I envision the Report for the engineers will be a beast. It should contain all sorts of information about how the plant works, how it needs to be kept up, and the design parameters we came up with. Considering each part of the plant warrents a report in itself it could be fairly long.
- I put a rough outline of what could be included in the report on the wiki page for the Report Generator.
- Each team should contribute to this report. You can anticipate that you will be responsible for the parts most relevant to the parts of the plant you design.
- We can assign parts of the report to work at a later meeting.
- If you would like to help with the Materials List too, that would be helpful.
Adding Content to Wiki
- Throughout the semester
- While making the MathCAD functions and files you need to be documenting their content on the wiki.
- It might be a good idea to add this information and any new pages under the integration pages already set up describing inputs and outputs.
- You need to include thorough descriptions of the algorithms, the functions you've created and their purpose, inputs, outputs, and any other significant information.
- The layout of the wiki pages should mimic how the MathCAD files are referenced. For instance U.P., H.D, A.CAD, and R.G are all children of the Master Program wiki page since they are referenced by the Master Program. Exceptions to this rule are for the Pipe Database and the Fluids Function File since they are referenced by multiple programs under the Master Program they are children of the Master Program. I think.
- Remember that the content you add to the wiki is considered in your final grade.
