You are designing a storm drain for a new parking lot. The topographic conditions at the site restrict the pipe slope to be approximately 0.013 (with up to 10 percent variation allowed). The storm drain needs to convey a design flowrate of 17 cfs. You are considering use of concrete pipe (n=0.013) and corrugated steel pipe (n = 0.022). (a) Which size pipe and what slope would you specify in each case? Make your selection so the pipe is full, or nearly full, at the design flowrate. Available pipe diameters are those listed next to tic marks on the "circular channel - low Q cleaned up" that is posted at NYU Brightspace. Use this nomograph, NOT the one that is in the Powerpoint lesson because it has more resolution at lower flowrates. (b) What is the maximum flowrate (when full) that each of the pipes you specified in (a) can convey? (c) What is the velocity of the water when flowing full in each case?

An existing rectangular clarifier at a drinking water treatment plant is 18 ft wide and 72 ftlong. It was originally designed for an overflow rate of 600 gpd/ft2 and it is currentlyoperating at its design capacity. Inclined-tube settling bundles are to be added and willoccupy 80 percent of the plan area, inlet flow distribution systems for the retrofitted tubebundles excludes flow through the remaining 20 percent of the surface area. Tubebundles will have a design overflow rate of 5,000 gpd/ft2. Complete an analysis todetermine the present capacity in gal/day, and the increased capacity in gal/day after thetube bundles are installed.
Water is flowing in three side-by-side pipes of diameter (1.8m) each. The Manning's n and the bed slope of each pipe are (0.017) and (1:1000) respectively. The water depth in each pipe is (1.3 m). After the development, the discharge above is expected to increase by (32%), and the engineers have decided to replace the three pipes by a trapezoidal channel. The new channel should have (n= 0.02) with the same bed slope, B = 1.45 y, and z=1.5. Design the cross section of the new channel and state the type of .flow (subcritical or supercritical)

A bar screen is used to treat 10 MGD of menicipal wastewater. The vertical bars are 1.27 cm wide and 3.8 cm deep. The minimum allowable spacing for the bars is 2.4cm. The appoach channel carries the water at velocity of 0.381 m/s and is 1.07 m wide and 1.37 m deep. 1- detrmine the number of bar and spacing that should be used. 2- calculate the head loss through screen when it is clean (m). 3- it's estimated that the screen will remove 227 kg (wet basis) of screenings ber milion gallons of water treated. What will be the daily accumulation (kg and m^3) of the screening if the density of screening 100 kg/m^3.
