1. A flocculation basin is to be designed for a water treatment plant, and the design flow
is 49,200 m³/day. The basin is to be a cross-flow horizontal-shaft paddle-wheel type
with a detention time of 45 min and a Gt value between 50,000 and 100,000. Tapered
flocculation is to be provided, and three compartments of equal depth in series are to
be used. The compartments are to be separated by slotted, redwood baffle fences, and
the basin floor is level. The G values are to be 50, 20 and 10 s¹. The flocculation
basin is to have a width of 27.43 m to adjoin the settling basin. There are to be four
paddle boards per arm (and two arms per wheel), and the boards should have a clear
spacing of 850 mm. Determine:
a. The basin dimensions.
b. The paddle-wheel design.
c. The power to be imparted to the water in each compartment and the total
power required for the basin.
d.

A production well was discharged and tested through an atmospheric silencer at sea level (1 bar absolute) using a lip pipe with a diameter of 24.5 cm and a weir box with a 90 ° V-notch weir. The well was flowing at a wellhead pressure of 7 bar gauge and the measured lip pipe pressure and weir height were 3 bar gauge and 0.11 m, respectively. Calculate the discharge enthalpy and total mass flow of the well.
(FLOW OVER A 60 DEGREES V-NOTCH WEIR) Need ASAP. Thank you. -How does the head flowing through your 60° v-notch weir impact the discharge coefficient? -How does the notch angle (60°) effect the device coefficient and the flow of discharge over your rectangular weir?.

You are responsible for calculating the peak discharge for a culvert design in a smallwatershed in Washington, DC. The watershed area is 4 acres and currently has 30 % of its area ofindustrial (heavy areas) and 70 % of residential (single –family areas). The design manual suggestsyou design your culvert for a 10 return period. The watershed has a concentration time of2 hours. Calculate:a) What is the design peak flow?b) What is the impact of the runoff coefficient (C) range on your design?c) After you implemented your project, the residential area was entirely converted toindustrial areas. Would that affect you design? If yes, by how much?
