=============================================== Welcome to the AguaClara Package Documentation! =============================================== .. centered:: |ACC| |ACR| .. |ACC| image:: images/acc_logo.png :width: 250 px .. |ACR| image:: images/acr_logo.png :width: 250 px ``aguaclara`` is a Python package developed by `AguaClara Cornell `_ and `AguaClara Reach `_ for designing and performing research on AguaClara water treatment plants. The package has several main functionalities: * **DESIGN** of AguaClara water treatment plant components * **MODELING** of physical, chemical, and hydraulic processes in water treatment * **PLANNING** of experimental setup for water treatment research * **ANALYSIS** of data collected by `ProCoDA `_ (process control and data acquisition tool) Installing ---------- The ``aguaclara`` package can be installed from Pypi by running the following command in the command line: .. code:: pip install aguaclara To upgrade an existing installation, run .. code:: pip install aguaclara --upgrade Click here for :ref:`more software installation instructions` if you don't have Python or ``pip``. Using ``aguaclara`` ------------------- ``aguaclara``'s main functionalities come from several sub-packages. 1. **Core**: fundamental physical, chemical, and hydraulic functions and values 2. **Design**: modules for designing components of an AguaClara water treatment plant 3. **Research**: modules for process modeling, experimental design, and data analysis in AguaClara research To use ``aguaclara``'s registry of scientific units (based on the `Pint package `_), use ``from aguaclara.core.units import u``. Any other function or value in a sub-package can be accessed by importing the package itself. Example Usage: Design ********************* .. code-block:: python import aguaclara as ac from aguaclara.core.units import u # Design a water treatment plant plant = ac.Plant( q = 40 * u.L / u.s, cdc = ac.CDC(coag_type = 'pacl'), floc = ac.Flocculator(hl = 40 * u.cm), sed = ac.Sedimentor(temp = 20 * u.degC), filter = ac.Filter(q = 20 * u.L / u.s) ) Example Usage: Core ******************* .. code-block:: python # continued from Example Usage: Design # Model physical, chemical, and hydraulic properties cdc = plant.cdc coag_tube_reynolds_number = ac.re_pipe( FlowRate = cdc.coag_q_max, Diam = cdc.coag_tube_id, Nu = cdc.coag_nu(cdc.coag_stock_conc, cdc.coag_type) ) Example Usage: Research *********************** .. code-block:: python import aguaclara as ac from aguaclara.core.units import u import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # Plan a research experiment reactor = ac.Variable_C_Stock( Q_sys = 2 * u.mL / u.s, C_sys = 1.4 * u.mg / u.L, Q_stock = 0.01 * u.mL / u.s ) C_stock_PACl = reactor.C_stock() # Visualize and analyze ProCoDA data ac.iplot_columns( path = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AguaClara/team_resources/master/Data/datalog%206-14-2018.xls", columns = [3, 4], x_axis = 0 ) plt.ylabel("Turbidity (NTU)") plt.xlabel("Time (hr)") plt.legend(("Influent", "Effluent")) .. For more detailed tutorials and examples on using the package, refer to the :ref:`User Guide `. The package is still undergoing rapid development. As it becomes more stable, a user guide will be written with more detailed tutorials. At the moment, you can find some more examples in specific pages of the :ref:`API reference `.
