Abstract

In this paper we, Green Engineering Solutions, present a design for a natural outdoor pool that is to be built on P12 of the University of Soeville Campus. The main idea of this project is to utilize nontraditional treatment and heating options while still maintaining water quality and temperature of a traditional pool. This design consists of a solar collector heating system along with a multiple media filter and ultraviolet light disinfection system for water treatment. Through extensive heat transfer, and water treatment efficiency analysis, it was proven that the system as designed would be sufficient in order to ensure proper operational conditions for an outdoor pool.

Description

Created in fulfillment of the course requirements for ENGG*3100 Engineering and Design III. This course combines the knowledge gained in the advanced engineering and basic science courses with the design skills taught in ENGG*1100 and ENGG*2100 in solving open-ended problems. These problems are related to the student's major. Additional design tools are presented, including model simulation, sensitivity analysis, linear programming, knowledge-based systems and computer programming. Complementing these tools are discussions on writing and public speaking techniques, codes, safety issues, environmental assessment and professional management. These topics are taught with the consideration of available resources and cost.
