A highly turbid water at 20⁰C is to be treated in a sedimentation (gravitational settling) tankwith a water depth of 3 m. The suspended particles have an average diameter of 0.03 mm and a density of 1.55 g/cm3 and the particles are fully suspended in water initially. Disregard the initial period during which the particles accelerate to their terminal velocity and assumeStokes law is applicable. Estimate: a) How long the suspended particles will take (min) to fully settle at the bottom of thesedimentation tank. b) If the sedimentation tank has to be designed to fully settle the particles in 1 hour, whatshould be the height (m) of the water level in the sedimentation tank
2. Determine the efficiency of removing particles of size 50 μm and density 1,100 kg/m², settling in a horizontal sedimentation tank of depth 2m, length 10 m and length to width ratio of 3:1. The flow into the sedimentation tank is 2000 m³/d. The dynamic viscosity (u) can be taken as 1.002 x 10* Pa.S.
A settling column analysis is performed on a dilute suspension of particles from water. The suspension exhibited discrete particle settling characteristics. Data collected from samples taken at a depth of 1.5 meters are as follows: Time required to settle 1.5 m (min) 0.6 1.2 2.2 4.5 6 8.8 Fraction of Particles Settled 0.3 0.45 0.6 0.7 0.85 0.96 Plot the velocity distribution for the suspension Find the overflow rate (Q/A) for a settling tank that will give at least 75% removal.
