Water Filtration Plant

By Academic Wizard Blog

Water Filtration Plant

A fresh young graduate from Bahrain polytechnic came up with an idea to set up a Water Treatment Plant to purify polluted ground water. Figure 1 shows the

schematic of the water filtration plant with two overhead tanks namely overhead tank 1 and overhead tank 2. The plant also has 3 filtration units namely filtration

plant 1, plant 2 & plant 3 respectively. The idea is to purify impure ground water and store it in overhead plant 2.

Figure 1- Water Treatment Plant

Important Information

1. Dimensions of Overhead Tank 1 & 2

a. Length = 6.75 m

b. Breadth = 4 m

c. Height = 4 m

d. The tank should be filled in 10 hours

2. Distance between each tank is 2 Meters

3. Arrows represent the direction of flow

4. Each tank as following dimensions –

a. Length = 3m

b. Breadth = 4 m

c. Height = 5 m

5. It’s important to show your final layout. You can use a handmade sketch or simple components using SMART DRAW or any other software of your

choice, but the idea should be clear and complete. Incomplete layouts will affect your grades.

6. Individual presentations and 1-1 Q&A sessions will be conducted after finalizing the date but the trainees have to submit the presentations

on Moodle on or before 12th of April 2025.

7. The placement of pumps, venturi meter, valves, etc. is purely based on your technical decisions. The schematic does not contain all the im-

portant components required to complete the fluid flow process.

4 | P a g e Water Filtration Plant

Limitations –

1. You cannot change the direction of flow.

2. You cannot increase the number of pipes. Each arrow is a pipe in Figure 1.

3. You cannot change the heads.

Your design should mainly consist of various activities that include pressure drop calculations selection of pumps design of venturi meter and selection of,

check valve the details of which are shown below:,

A. You are to size the pipelines and to select a suitable pump. The proposed piping layout is as per the attached schematic. You are given details of the,

required lengths of pipes and the number of bends involved to get the chilled water to each of the cooling coils. There are isolating valves around,

each piece of equipment so that maintenance work can be carried out. (LOs: 1 2 3 4),

B. You have also been asked to design a venturi flow meter a form of flow measurement device to be installed after the pump so that the total water,

flow can be measured on a continuous basis. You will need to demonstrate how the venturi will work. (LOs: 2,3)

C. Select the appropriate check valves which must be fitted before each coil at the supply lines according to all the engineering parameters of the system.

(LOs:2,4,5) Water Filtration Plant

Engineering Design Process

By Academic Wizard Blog

Engineering Design Process – Athlete Monitoring The Crimson Tide football program has asked the Integrated Center for Athletic and Sport Technology (ICAST – http://icast.eng.ua.edu/), a research unit of the University of Alabama, to develop proposals for wearable technologies to support athlete monitoring. The specific athlete monitoring needs that the team has identified include:

• Monitor the number and force of impacts to the head during training and competition;

• Monitor acceleration and maximum speeds during training and competition;

• Monitor body temperature and environmental conditions (air temperature and humidity) during training;

• Monitor water consumption of athletes throughout practice, games, and their daily living.

Before the football program financially supports any of the ICAST ideas to develop these technologies, they have asked for project proposals that outline the design process and engineering solutions. As a computer engineer that is on the ICAST team, you have been asked to prepare these details of the Engineering Design Process (specifically steps 1 through 3) for ONE of the potential ideas above. Instructions and Deliverables: The following instructions and questions are to help guide you through preparing the requested details. You will upload your answers to each of these questions on Blackboard. While you can work with a partner to discuss each question, both partners must submit their own answers written in their own words. For all short-answer questions you must use complete sentences with appropriate language for the course. Considering the Engineering Design Process:,

1) Referring to the class notes what are the 7 stages of the engineering design process?, List them all and in your list bold the 3 steps that will be the focus of your ICAST proposal. 2) ,Which of the needs from the team will you be applying the engineering design process for this proposal?,

• This will be a multiple-choice question on Blackboard for you to select

ECE 121-001 M3 – Engineering Design Process

Revision: 2 Revision Date: 15-Feb-2025 Engineering Design Process

Focusing on your selected need for the athletes, you must ask critical questions about this problem and topic area (Step 1 of the engineering design process) so you can better understand it. To help with this process answer the following questions in complete sentences:

3) Who are the groups of people that have a stake in this project and the need it addresses? Name all the groups of people that you think have a stake in the project to address the stated athlete need. Remember, stake in this context means they are either directly involved in making decisions during the process or they are impacted by the decisions/actions made by others in this process. Be sure to note which category (decision-maker or impacted) each of your named groups of people belong to. 4) What knowledge already exists about this problem that can help you understand it further? Using Google Scholar (https://scholar.google.com/) search and report 1 relevant academic paper that helped you understand this problem.

• For this process, use keywords that are important to your topic for the search. If Dr. Freeborn was searching for academic papers related to knee injuries in football the following terms would likely be useful:

o “knee injuries” +football +college o Do your search while on the UA eduroam wifi network. While

connected to this network, you will get access to academic articles that you normally have to pay for if you access them off campus (the University pays a lot of money every year to get students and faculty this access).

• For your relevant paper, summarize 3 specific pieces of information that you learned in this article and explain why you think they are useful to the problem you are working to solve.

• For your relevant paper, provide the citation details so that someone could easily find this paper later. This requires stating the authors, article title, journal the article is published in, journal volume, journal number, journal pages, and publication year.

o Example: The citation details for Dr. Freeborn’s academic paper on tissue changes due to eccentric exercise are:

§ T.J. Freeborn, G. Regard, B. Fu, “Localized bicep tissue bioimpedance alterations following eccentric exercise in healthy young adults,” IEEE Access, vol. 8, pp. 23100-23109, 2020.

5) What are two questions that you have for athletes or the athletic staff about this project that will help you understand what is needed to make this project a success?

Next, identify potential solutions (Step 3 of the engineering design process). For this effort, you’ve been asked to focus on what sensor technologies could be used and the technical details related to the data they generate.

6) What is one electronic sensor that you think could be used to generate the digital data needed to solve your athletic monitoring need?

• Provide the name of the sensors, the specific web link to its details, and explain why you think this sensor and its data could support your specific need.

o To learn more about available types of sensors, check out SparkFun: https://www.sparkfun.com/categories/23

o This is not an exhaustive list though, so you may have to do further internet searches to learn more about available sensors

• Review the datasheets available for the sensor that you have selected to check if it has an internal analog-to-digital converter (ADC).

o Upload a screenshot of the sensor datasheet and annotate (e.g. circle or highlight) the information about the ADC bits.

o If not ADC details are listed, upload a screenshot of the sensor datasheet that provides the description of how data is output by this sensor and annotate the parts you think are most important (e.g. circle or highlight).

• Using the number of bits associated with your sensor and its ADC (or assuming a 16-bit ADC if your sensor did not have listed details), how much data would this sensor generate when used by all members of the football team for a complete season (practices and games) at a sampling rate of 100 Hz (100 samples per second).

o Upload your clear set of hand-calculations for your answer o Be sure to clearly write your assumptions related to the number of

players and total time for a football season. • What type of equipment could this sensor be integrated into for the wearable

monitoring and what body location would it monitor? o Explain why you think this location of the body is appropriate for your

solution.

Revision: 2 Revision Date: 15-Feb-2025

Considering the harms and ethical problems of this situation: Beyond the technical solutions it is important to consider the potential harms and ethical problems associated with this project. And after identifying them, working to create solutions that address them during the engineering design process.

7) What do you think the ethical problems related to monitoring of college athletes are?

• When providing your answer, consider that your audience who will read this has little to no background on this topic. Provide clear explanations with supporting details from the course so they understand you.

• What information from previous articles that you have read in the course helped you make these decisions? Be specific about the details and which article you are referring to (e.g. author and title).

8) What IEEE code of ethic do you think is most relevant to this situation? 9) If more than one IEEE code of ethic is relevant, what do you think is the second most relevant to this situation? 10) What additional information (if any) would be helpful to clarify what the ethical problems of this situation are? 11) Name and describe 2 examples of harm related to data use and data privacy in the context of the project.

• For each harm, note the type of harm it is (using the definitions of harm that are in the course notes and have been discussed in class).

• For each harm name the group of people that are impacted. Be clear, specific, and detailed in your answers.

12) What are 2 actions that you could take as a computer engineer on the project to reduce your previously identified harms?

A Case Study

By Academic Wizard Blog

A Case Study

topics: Sustainable Food, Renewable Energy, Sustainable Water Management, Sustainable Fashion

1. Title page – Include Title, Course, Professor and Date as well as your name.

2. Introduction – Develop an introduction that presents your investigation. You can use the questions from the case study as a guide. A good introduction should include background information on the topic the definitions your reader will need to understand your report and a brief summary of what you are going to tell us in the body of the report.,

3. Content – You can call this section content or you can divide the section into several sections each with their own title but in general the content sections of your report should contain the results of your investigations. In other words the answers to the questions posted in your case study. ,Don’t limit yourself to answering each question with a sentence or two. The questions are realy just there to guide you and point you in the right direction., Make sure you investigate the topic and write an complete account of what you found. , Feel free to include tables figures or pictures or any other visual aid you can embed in the word document.

4. Figures and Tables must be properly labled and numbered. In scientific reports, tables always should have a Table number and a title ABOVE the table ( for example Table1. Master list of groceries and where to buy them. Figures, however, should have a title and a number that appears UNDER the picture, and are usually accompanied by a short explanation of what is included. (for example;under a picture of a farm you would write Fig.1 – Owen Brothers Farm, South Mills, NC. This farms produces organic cage-free eggs and sells to the public at farmers markets in the area.). Figures and tables should be there for a reason, and should enhance the text of your report.

5. Conclusion – This is the section where you tell me your opinions about the things you discovered on your investigation. Its a good place to include some of the final questions from your instructions. The fact that these are your opinions however, doesn’t mean you can write anything you think off. Your opinions must be backed up by the facts you presented in your research.

6. References – Any scientific report has to be properly referenced. If you use somebody elses words (cut and paste) you should do so in quotations and you need to reference the source. the same is true if you use pictures or tables. DO NOT COPY AND PASTE LARGE SECTIONS OF YOUR REPORT!!!! this needs to be your own words. But quoting a source is a very appropriate use of your reference material. To write your references properly, follow the instructions given on the Reference section you’ll find here.
