What must be the diameter of the sewer main to transmit sewage from 8000 households to a wastewater treatment plant if the sewer is to be designed to be half full when it conveys the peak design flow, at an allowable velocity of 1.63 m/s. Assume that 80% of water consumed by households are discharged into the sewer. Also take the ratio of peak to average flow to be 2.0.

Q4: A volume of water equal to 3.5x10" m'is was required to iigate a farm every 10 days. Find a discharge in m'/s if water is applied according to: 1) one day every 10 days, 2) three days every 10 days, 3) five days every 10 days, 4) 12 hrs between day and another, and 5) continuously.
A city has a current total population of 40,000 residents. The estimated design population is 55,000 at the end of a design period of 20 years. Determine the design average, peak, and minimum flow rates. Use the following data. Current daily average flow to the wastewater treatment plant Daily average I/I flow Hourly peak I/I flow = 18,400 m³/d = 80 Lpcd = 180 Lpcd A new junior college will attract 1500 nonresident students per day. The daily average wastewater flow is 50 Lpcd. A new industry will add a daily average flow of 900 m /d for a 24 h/d operation. An hourly peak flow of 1500 m’/d will occur during the day shift. The plant will be shut down one day a week. It is expected that 10% per capita reduction in wastewater flow will occur with the future population growth. The minimum to average flow ratio is 0.4 for the current dry weather wastewater flow.
Estimate the membrane area required as a part of membrane bioreactor (MBR) process design for the treatment of wastewater with a flow rate of 5000 m3/d. Design flux, J= 20 LMH (L/m2.h)
The sewage from an area of 160 hectares is to be carried by a circular sewer (n = 0.013). Thepopulation density is 20 persons per hectare. Find the peak flow and minimum flow (40% of average flow)for an average sewage flow of 450 Lpcd. Determine the pipe size and slope to handle these flows
A sewer of 0.3 m diameter carries a discharge of 0.18 m³/s at half depth. If the depth of flow is reduced to 1/4th of the diameter, the discharge carried by the sewer is m³/s. (Round off to two decimal places)

A gravity settling tank is to be used to clean wastewater for an oil refinery. The wastewater contains 1% oil by volume as small droplets ranging from 100 to 1000 microns which will be removed from the water before the latter is to be discharged into the river. The tank is of rectangular section 2 ft wide by 4 ft deep with provisions for smooth continuous discharge of clean water and skimming off of oil at the surface of the discharge end. If 10,000 gal/min of wastewater is to be cleaned of oil droplets, calculate the length of the settling tank. The specific gravity of oil is 0.87. For water, p = 1000 and μ = 1 cP. Round your answer to the nearest foot. kg m²

A sewer of 400 mm diameter and slope 1 in 400, running half-full, has a flow velocity of 0.82 m/sec. What velocity of flow will be obtained if the slope is made 1 in 100?
You are constructing a sewage lagoon with a 3,100 m3/day inlet/outlet flow rate. You must attain a BOD outflow load of 12 mg/L given a BOD inlet load of 26 mg/L. BOD has a half-life of 2.4 days.What volume is needed for the lagoon and how long would it take for the output BOD concentration to reach 1 ppm if freshwater started to replace the wastewater that was previously entering the lagoon?
