Transcribed Image Text:SAMPLE PROBLEM 3
A small water plant has a raw water inflow rate of 0.6m3/s. It was found through
experimentation that the particles after flocculation all settle at a rate of Vp= 0.004 m/s.
A proposed rectangular tank has an effective settling zone of L=20m, H=3m &W=6m.
Can 100% removal be expected? If not, what percent of the particles are removed?
Given:
m3
0.6
m
0.005
0.6m/s
20т x бт
A
Vp < Vo.
Therefore, not all particles
will be removed.
3m
6m
20m
Percent removal can be calculated by
getting the ratio of particle velocity to
critical settling velocity. In symbols,
Vp
x 100%
Vo
Req'd: a. 100% removal?
% Removal =
b. % removed if not
Substituting,
0.004"
Sol'n: For 100% settling, Vp > Vo. Let's
check. Vp is give & we can compute Vo.
% Removal =
x 100%
0.005
% Removal = 80.0000%
Recompute Sample Problem 3. However, make your height 6m and your width 3m.
