Abstract
The Cambodian Children's Fund has a 200,000 US Gallon swimming pool requiring a treatment system. To treat the water, the pool will be modi ed to 145,000 US Gallons and use a 5 Hp centrifugal pump to provide an 8 hour turnover rate. Diatomaceous Earth (DE) cartridge fi lter combined with an automated chemical treatment system will provide clean, safe and low maintenance pool operation. Additionally, as the site does not have suffi cient power for the treatment system, tracking solar panels will be installed to meet the demand. Each component of the design and construction costs are project at total cost of 115,000 USD.
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.
