Question
At a wastewaterdischarge point, 2500 L/s of effluent must be conveyedin a straight rectangular
channel at a depth not exceeding 0.55 m. The smooth concrete channelbase is 1.8 m wide. The
channelsides are constructed of rough-formed concrete.
(a) Compute the flow area, wetted perimeter, and hydraulic radius at a section.
(b) Compute the suitably-weighted roughness factor for this flow condition and Using Manning’s method, compute the section factor and conveyanceat this section.
(c) What channel slope is required to convey the specified discharge?
What are the average and maximum shear stresses exerted against the channel?

- How can I calculate the water level in a grit chamber at average flow and at peak hourly flow. The effluent from the tank flows over a fiberglass, sharp-crested weir that is set at elevation 136.00 ft above sea level (ASL). The average daily flow rate is 2.6 MGD. Assume that all flow must pass through one grit chamber. The dimensions of the grit chamber are 9 ft wide, 30 ft long, and 10.5 ft deep (water depth). The weir extends across the full width of the chamber. Peak hourly flow rate = _____MGDarrow_forwardRevision for exams want ot make sure i am doing it rightarrow_forward3arrow_forward
