Chemical Dose Controller Meeting Minutes

Spring 2009 Minutes

Working Group: Gracias Entry Tank

Accomplishments

• Based on the required area for the entrance tank orifice and the total minor loss coefficient needed for global mixing, each of us came up with a tank and rapid mixer design.
• With Professor Monroe's suggestions taken into account, we finalized the design.

Metrics

• Determined that the area of the entrance tank orifice needs to be 407 centimeters squared.
• Determined that if the dimensions for the orifice were 100cm X 4cm and the water level dropped down to the top of the orifice, the plant would operate at 32 percent of its maximum capacity.

Outcomes

• We will need to calculate the water level in the first channel so that we know what the height of the second waterfall needs to be.

Issues

• We have been having a lot of trouble formatting our wiki pages because we are dealing with both, the research and design team formatting guidelines.
• We do not know how to add new equations to the wiki page.
