Team Tasks (with optimal number of students and team leader if known)

Design (4)

• update design algorithm descriptions
• update variable list
• design plants for Agua Para el Pueblo
• create method to make it possible to choose a layout
• complete documentation of AutoCAD script generation
• add AguaClara design stamp and disclaimer to drawing

Research

Tube Floc

• Document effects of varying
  • influent turbidity
  • alum dose
  • flocculator length
  • flow rate
• Develop the optimal relationship between G and Gθ
• Develop method to test optimal relationship between G and Gθ either by varying the flow rate in real time or by building a flocculator with a variable cross sectional area or using some other technique
• Help develop a method to transfer knowledge from the tube flocculator to full scale baffled flocculators.

Linear Flow Orifice Meter

• Test the new design algorithm for linearity
• Develop an algorithm for the maximum flow that can be carried by a linear flow orifice meter as a function of pipe diameter.
• Write a paper detailing the theory and design of the Linear Flow Orifice Meter

Flow Controller linearity and calibration

• test linearity of response and create calibration protocol
• compare with theory and explain any differences

Flow Controller chlorine metering

• Determine what causes flow to decrease over time and develop a method to prevent this failure mode

Automated chemical doser

• Complete prototype
• Test prototype
• Develop calibration procedure
• Create plan to implement this in an AguaClara water treatment plant in Honduras during the January intersession or provide detailed info for the AguaClara team in Honduras to fabricate and install it during the fall semester.

Outreach

• Hollister Hall poster*
• Raise $100,000 for water treatment plants to be built between January and August

Wiki

• Update or assign update tasks to teams for all outdated wiki pages.
• Develop organizational guideline for wiki
• Develop guidelines on wiki page size to improve download speed
• Improve theme to make browsing easier and to give a more professional appearance
