: The most common system used in the late 1800s and early 1900s consisted of a roof tank(s) combined with constant-speed pumps that operated by a level switch in the tank. When the level in the tank would approach a pre-determined height, the pumps would either turn on to fill the tank(s) or turn off when the tank is full (Larson, 2007). Water storage was also required for fire protection, and tanks provided for both needs. The water is distributed using gravity downfeed arrangement. b. Multiple zones: High zone tank and low zone tank: If multiple zones were required, multiple tanks were used. An air gap creates a pressure break between the upper and lower zones. The tanks must be

For students who were not retained (Figure 3(b)), there was alsowide variation in the fraction enrolled in Calculus I (from 27.0% for COE to 100% forFORCES); however 30.2% of COE students who left engineering within the first year passedCalculus I, while none of the FIG students who left the program passed the course.
