The sedimentation tank is due for cleaning and its volume will be drained into half. The tank has a uniform cross-section area of 10m by 10m and currently filled at depth of 6 meters. If the orifice drainer has a coefficient of 0.90 and diameter of 5 centimeters, how much time in seconds would it take to reach the desired level for cleaning?

Use Ax=0.1. Q2) For the above question find the depth of sludge for each day if the influent solid concentration is 3000mg/L and percentage of solid=8% and sludge density =1.2 ton/m³.
A falling head permeability test was run on a soil sample 9.60 cm in diameter and 10 cm long. The head at the start was 90 cm. The coefficient of permeability of the soil was found to be 5 x 10-6 cm/s. The diameter of the standpipe was 1 cm. What is the rate of flow after 30 minutes? Select the correct response: 10.79 cm/hr 11.04 cm/hr 9.10 cm3/hr 6.46 cm3/hr

Question 16 1 points Save A A triangular trough is 5 m long, 2 m wide at the top and 2 m deep. If industrial strength acid is flowing at a rate of 4.8 m-/min, how fast is the area of the surface of the liquid increasing in m2/min when the acid is 101 cm deep? Express your answer in 2 decimal places.
Gave wrong values earlier. These are the correct values A settling tank having a depth of 3.5 m and surface area of 1000 m2 is used to remove particles of size 0.01 mm and specific gravity of 2.6. Calculate the removal percentage of the tank for the discharge of 7000 m3/d. Take viscosity of water as 1.1x10-3 kg/m.s.
Design a sedimentation basin for a water treatment plant with the following specifications assuming it is required to supply a city with a population of 50,000 people: Rectangular or square basin • Depth: 7-18 ft ● . • Width: 10-50 ft Detention time: 4-8 hours Flow through velocity: <0.55 ft/min Overflow rate: 400-1,100 gal/day-ft² Draw a figure to show calculated dimensions. You may consider to use SI units in calculations. ● ● Hint: Overflow rate is Flow/Surface Area; Detention time is Volume of tank/Flow rate; and Depth= Volume/Surface area
A water treatment plant treats 6000 m³ of water per day. As a part of the treatment process, discrete particles are required to be settled in a clarifier. A column test indicates that an overflow rate of 1.5 m per hour would produce the desired removal of particles through settling in the clarifier having a depth of 3.0 m. The volume of the required clarifier, (in m³, round off to 1 decimal place) would be
