Question
Please design a rapid sand filter that will effectively remove 65% of the
suspended solids in a flow of 10 cubic meters per minute. The suspended
material consists of particles that are perfectly spherical with a diameter of 10
microns. Please use sand with an effective size of 1 mm and a porosity of 0.5.
You should limit your clean bed head loss to 0.5 meters per meter. (Pease use an attachment efficiency, α of 0.75)
Viscosity of water =1.0087x10-3 Ns/m2
Density of water =998.23 kg/m3
What are the dimensions of this filter (Depth and Surface Area)?
