ltration system in a water treatment plant consists of four (4) filter boxes of the size = 45m^2 design flow= 40000 m^3/d. The filter bed is uniform with particles of size 0.50 mm, with specific gravity of 2.6, a porosity of 0.4. and a bed thickness of 0.75 m. Normally, the Reynolds number for flow through a rapid sand filter media is less than 5.

Question
filtration system in a water treatment plant consists of four (4) filter boxes of the size = 45m^2 design flow= 40000 m^3/d. The filter bed is uniform with particles of size 0.50 mm, with specific gravity of 2.6, a porosity of 0.4. and a bed thickness of 0.75 m. Normally, the Reynolds number for flow through a rapid sand filter media is less than 5. ii. Check that the conditions satisfy the low Reynolds number condition. iii. Determine the expected head if clean water is passed through the filter at the design flow.
