?uestion 3: Settling Tank Performance A rectangular primary settling tank in a wastewater treatment plant is 20 m long × 10 m wide x 3 m deep. The solids (particles) present in the wastewater have a uniform density of 1010 kg/m3 and can be assumed to be spherical. For a wastewater flow rate of 10,000 m'/d and a water temperature of 10 °C, calculate: a) The size of the smallest particle that is completely (100%) removed b) The percentage of...
Problem 1. Water flows from a large tank through a smooth pipe of length 80 m. Both the tank free surface and jet exit are exposed to the atmosphere. Take the density of water p = 1000 kg/m3, dynamic viscosity of water u = 0.001 kg/m.s, atmospheric pressure = 100 kPa, and gravity = 9.8 m/s2. Calculate the volumetric flow rate through the pipe. Neglect entrance losses to the pipe. Hint: Consider the inlet and outlet sections of the pipe...

QUESTION 6 (10 marks) Water needs to be transported between two settling ponds in a wastewater treatment facility, as illustrated in the diagram below. The surface of the second pond is 40m above the surface of the first pond. A pipe network connects the two ponds which consists of an entry, a wide open angle valve, four (4) 90° elbows with r/D = 2, a pump and an exit, and 150m of straight PVC pipe of diameter 177mm and dimensional...
Q1: Consider the tank and water supply system as shown in Figure. The diameter of the supply pipe is D. = 40mm, and the average velocity leaving the supply pipe is V1 = 3 m/s. A shut- off valve is located at z = 0.7 m in the exit pipe, which has a diameter of D, = 30mm. The tank diameter is De = 0.7m. The density of the water is uniform at 998 kg/m. a. Find the time to...
3. (3 points) A tank of diameter D is filled with water up to a height h above the bottom of the tank (Figure 3). At the bottom of the tank is a hole of diameter d. Assume that the water flows out of the hole with a laminar flow and that the difference in atmospheric pressure between the top and the bottom of the tank is negligible Figure 3: A lank draining a) What speed will the water have...

Problem #2 Water tank is supplied with water at a flow rate Q = 0.005 m/s. A 5 cm diameter, 15 m long pipe is attached to the tank at the bottom and discharges to the atmosphere as shown in the figure. The pipe has roughness e = 0.0015 mm and the water is at 18°C. Answer the following: a) If the depth of water in the tank is initially 7 m, does the amount of water in the tank...
Water is siphoned from a large tank and discharges into the
atmosphere through a 2-in.-diameter tube as shown in the figure
below. The end of the tube is 3 ft below the tank bottom, and
viscous effects are negligible. Determine the volume flowrate from
the tank. Determine the maximum height, H, over which the water can
be siphoned without cavitation occurring. Atmospheric pressure is
14.7 psia, and the water vapor pressure is 0.26 psia

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...
