(04292012) Project Meeting II


This pressure chamber will be used by the robotics team or, at the very least, serve as a prototype for a more elaborate apparatus to be made.  
So, the following considerations should be made that are relative to this idea:
  • User Case scenario
    • How long does it take to fill and empty the standing pipe?
      • To calculate fill time, we can calculate inward flowrate against increasing opposing pressure
      • To calculate drainage, we can use the volume flow rate
  • Cost Analysis
    • How much volume of water is in the standing pipe?
    • What is the rate of water in LA country?
    • With the above, we can calculate the cost per fill
      • if substantially small, we can present fills per dollar, etc.
