| Summary: | A major concern for most people these days is the use and availability of clean water.
With 83 million more people on Earth each year, demands for clean water will keep
on rising. Water is everywhere and also important to living things on Earth. But
because of the global warming and pollution, water has become deficit in many parts
of the world. It can be foreseen that one day water will become a very valuable asset
for countries in the future as energy is now. In this study, focus will be given more on
the effect of water tank designs in reducing the volume of water usage in toilet
system. Testing was divided into two sections that were experimental study and
simulation study. First, experimental study conducted to test the performance of four
different types of tanks and results are recorded. After that, simulation study
conducted and data was recorded. The parameters of the study were the effect of
depth of water and design of the water tanks towards pressure and volume flow rate
of the water. Based from the test results, comparison was calculated. With percentage
error below than 5 percent, it has been determined that simulation study was indeed
suitable for this study. To achieve the objectives of this study, the change in design of
water tank was proposed to minimize the amount of water used without sacrificing
the performance of the toilet. By modifying the water tank designs, the amount of
water used inside the tank can be decreased. From simulation study that has been
conducted for two design concepts, pressure exerted from the tanks only lost a little
amount of energy. As conclusion, by changing the design of water tanks without
changing the water level, one could help reduce the amount of water used for
flushing his waste. At the same time, it will not affecting the performance of the
whole toilet system. |
