Problem 7 - 64
Determine the flow in each pipe in the figure shown and the elevation of
reservoir C if the inflow to reservoir A is 515 Lit/sec.
Problem 7-64 with the following conditions:
- inflow at reservoir A = 600 Ips
- roughness coefficient for all pipes = 0.05
- elevation B = 92m
A primary clarifier for a municipal wastewater treatment plant is to be designed for an average flow of 7570 m3/d. the regulatory agency criteria for primary clarifiers are as follows: peak overflow rate = 89.6 m3/m2.d, average overflow rate = 36.7 m3/m2d, minimum side water depth = 3 m, and peak weir loading rate = 389 m3/m.d. The ratio of peak flow to average flow = 2.75. Determine:
Diameter of the sedimentation basin
The length of the peripheral weir. Assume that the weir launder has a width of 50 cm (from the tank side), and the weirs are installed on one side of the launder.
Find the discharge through a 6” round orifice discharging freely. The water surface elevation in the impoundment is 568’. The elevation at the center of the orifice is 500’. Use a discharge coefficient of 0.62.
