Question

HW-2 Pretreanment Fis ENVE 4410/551O INTRODUCTION TO ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING Problem Set No. 2 Preliminary Treatment 1. (Sato) What is the calculated wastewater flow (cfs) through the Parshall flume with a throat width of 3.0 ft at the maximum free-flow head of 3.5 fi? 2. (8-1 5th DC 559) A treatment plant being designed for Cynusoidal City requires an equalization basin to even out flow and BOD variations. The average daily flow is 0.400 m/s. The following flows and BODs have been found to be typical of the average variation over a day What size equalization basin, in cubic meters, is required to provide for a uniform outflow equal to the average daily flow? Assume the flows are hourly average. Use the method described by Davis and Cornwell (4th Edition). (Answer is V- 6,110 m2 with out safety factor).

(Sato) Using the Graphical method and the data presented above, determine the flow equalization volume, and compare the result from the method described by Davis and Cornwell.

Explanation / Answer

Q1 Q = CH n

C = 12.00 for 3' width

n = 1.57 for 3' width

Q = 12*3.5 1.57

= 85.77 cfs
