Executive Summary - Interdisciplinary Capstone Design @ UI

The Berkley design deals with a flow of 300 gal/min. They use a 3-inch PVC pipe, with a settling velocity of 12 ft/sec. Our design deals with very similar specs. Chris, our University of Minnesota contact, suggested using a broad sweep elbow instead of a 90-degree bend elbow to decrease the amount of energy loss in pipes. ................
