ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING, please show all work and clearly circle your answer. A settling tank is being designed to remove suspended particles through Type 1 settling. The density of the particle is 1045 kg/m23 and the density of the water is 1020 kg/m2. The diameter of the particles is 0.2 mm and the temperature is 25* C. Assuming laminar conditions, find the settling velocity, vi, for the particles. If the overflow rate is 65 m2/d m2, what is the percentage of...
