Based in Chapter 1,2 and 4 Book: Viessman, W., Lewis, G., Knapp, J., Introduction to Hydrology, 4th Ed., Harper and Row 1. How would you apply the use of a Parshall flume in measuring the rate of flow in a small stream? O By estimating the volume of water passing through a specific point per unit time. O By calculating the velocity of the water flow using a velocity meter. O By measuring the width of the stream at various points. O By observing the depth (head) at the constricted throat of the flume, which produces a differential head that can be related to discharge.

Question: A sewage treatment plant for a town with 120000 population and water average temperature of 20 °C should be designed. You are asked to design a coagulation/rapid mixer and a flocculation tank with horizontal shaft paddle. The jar tests suggest average G-value of 30 (m/s)/m, minimum water residence time of 1500 seconds and GT value from 55000 to 90000. The flocculation tank should include 3 compartments with similar compartments' geometry aspects separated using baffles partitions. The width of each flocculation tank should not exceed 7 meters due to some constraints highlighted by the project's mechanical engineers about the maximum length of each shaft. Determine: 1- The volume and dimension and power requirement of the cylindrical rapid mixer 2- The flocculation tank dimension 3- Required power for each flocculation mixer 4- The paddle wheel dimension 5- Rotational speed of each mixers (Check if the speeds are acceptable) 6- Baffle size and distribution 7- Write about any…
