Radial Flow Settler
Design Sketches:
Description: On the left, it’s a water tank or a fish bowl; on the left, it is the Radial flow settler (Nongfu bottle connected with PVC pipes.)
I decided to do one of the projects from the 3 I researched: The radial flow settler. I chose to do this because a radial flow settler is interesting, and if I managed my time correctly, I could have it done within two classes. While I was struggling with what to do for my project, Mr.Michie came up with the idea of doing a Radial flow settler. This is the first time anyone has made a radial flow settler for this project. This might be challenging.
Things that I’ll have to pay attention to:
1. Make sure no water leakage and sufficient stability at pipe connections
2. To make the Bottle balance enough, I’ll have to think of a way to keep it balanced (on the left side, have more pipe ), such as creating a stand for it
3. Stabilize the intermediate connection (without shaking when water is passing through)a
