Design a circular radial-flow sedimentation tank for a town with a projected population of 45,000. Assume that the wastewater flow rate is 400 L/capita-d. Design for 2 h detention at the average flow. Determine the tank depth (m) to produce an overflow rate of 36 m³/m²-d for average flow. Assume standard tank dimensions to fit mechanisms made in diameter increments of 1.0 m and in depth increments of 0.5 m.
