- Example 4.1 • Given a circular clarifier that is 96 feet in diameter with a sidewall water depth of 8.5 feet and a single effluent weir located along the periphery of the tank, determine the overflow rate, the detention time, and the weir loading for an average flow of 11 mgd.arrow_forwardThe Town of Jackson Engineering Department has an earthen dike through which a circular concrete culvert has been constructed to convey storm water from one side of the dike to the other side of the dike. The circular concrete culvert has a free outfall. The culvert is 60 feet long on a 2.00 % slope and is 30 inches in diameter. The culvert entrance will project from the embankment. Use an orifice coefficient (Co) of 0.62 for a sharp-edged entrance. Create a rating table that correlates the culvert discharge to the depth of the headwater, from 3 feet to 6 feet in 0.25 feet increments. The Engineering Department would like to know the culvert discharge rate based on the depth of the headwater so that they can conduct long-term planning (development, infrastructure improvements, open space, etc.) on the upstream and downstream sides of the dike.

- (b) A catchment consists of an asphalt pavement that drains into a rectangular concrete channel. The asphalt surface has an average slope of 0.6%, and the distance from the catchment boundary to the drain is 50 m. The drainage channel is 30 m long, 25 cm wide, 20 cm deep, and has a slope of 0.8%. For an effective rainfall rate of 60 mm/h, the flow rate in the channel is estimated to be 0.025 m³/s. Estimate the time of concentration, te of the catchment.

The site has an area of 1 ha, a flow length of 100 m, an average slop of 1%, a Manning's number of 0.25 and Type B soil. Drainage regulations require that the kinematic wave equation be used to calculate the time of concentration. You are allowed to use either the rational method or TR-55 to calculate the peak runoff rate. It is suggested you used a runoff coefficient of 0.4, which is typical for residential sites. What curve number would be required for both the rational method and the TR-55 method to provide the same peak runoff rate?arrow_forward
