Designing a Water System

Objectives: 1.) Understand the components to water flow and the water needs of a town 2.) Identify the always present rates of changes that occur 3.) Write a proposal paper on running a water system for a town given the towns needs.

Force and weight

Newtons Law : Force = m x a A certain mass will exert a force due to gravity Weight is the force exerted on the object. It is a force, so w = m * a (9.8)

Demonstration 2 Head and Pressure

Head: The measurement of elevation from a fluid surface to release point

Pressure: force/area

Static Pressure

Where are we headed with this?...

Ideas on why water pressure is important? When and where is water pressure relevant?

Consider the following problem Will there be enough pressure to water plant B if the height of the water is ?

Plant B

Plant A

Steps to planning an irrigation system

1. Obtaining site information 2. Determining the irrigation requirement 3. Determining water and power supply 4. Selecting sprinklers and other equipment 5. Lateral layout (or circuiting sprinklers), locating valves and main lines 6. Sizing pipe and valves and calculating total system pressure loss 7. Locating controllers and sizing wire 8. Preparing the final irrigation plan

Where are some rates of change occurring that you need to take into account??

Calculus Analysis

You try: A large storage tank, open at the top and filled with
water, develops a small hole in its side at a point 16.0 m below the water level. If the rate of flow from the leak is equal to 2.50 x 10^-3 m^3/min, determine (a) the speed at which the water leaves the hole and (b) the diameter of the hole. c.) the height when dh/dt = sdfkdf
Identify the knowns and the unknowns

Write the Equation of interest

Need secondary equations? More than one variable?

Differentiate
Fill in knowns and solve for unknowns

Project 1: Come up with or find a Rate of Change problem

You will need to make a video on how to solve a created or found rate of change problem.
You will also be making a physical model that tests your calculations concretely.

0 No attempt at the criteria

Creativity/Problem Solving/ Completion Criteria: The student - was creative and worked through the difficult task of showing a working model of rates of changes - was resourceful and independent; no teacher assistance - I was wowed and will use the video as an example piece - Done on time Question and Citations Criteria: The student - chose an appropriate question involving the need for differentiation - cited all material and research resources used in the video. At least one citation should be used for the question - Citations were correct with APA format Calculations Criteria: The student - showed the calculations thoroughly - use correct calculations throughout - organized the work and was easy to follow - Explained the work for solving Working Visual and Understanding Criteria: The student. - created a working model that acted out the word problem - the model was well constructed and used appropriate materials - linked the calculations to the real life model

Project 2:
Water Tower Proposal Plan for Goddard Town You will need to problem solve through proposing the best height, volume, placement, and shape for a water tower You will need to figure out how Calculus applies (identify where rates of changes are occurring and influencing this towns daily needs) and show 2 Calculus calculations at work.

You will need to satisfy the Conditions of the town as identified on the Town Water Tower Request handout.
