The peak hourly pumping rate is 2000 gpm from the well field through a 4200-ft pipe with a 16-in diameter to a reservoir in the town. The water temperature is 10°C. A. what is the contact time in the pipeline? B. What chlorine residual is required in the water at the outlet of the pipeline?

Ans. 76.5%, 66.7%, 90.6%
Design a slow sand filter system for a community which has a projected population of3000 and an average water consumption of 300 Lpcd. Use Goodrich formula to estimatethe peak flow rates and size the system so that it can produce water at a maximum weeklyrate with on one unit out of service. The design filtration rate is 6 m/d at max daily flow
instantaneous infiltration rate can be estimated by the equation, f= 0.5(a / +0.5) + b, where 'a' and 'b' are constants and 't' is the time elapsed from the beginning of the storm. find total infiltration during 10 hours if a=5 mm/hº.5 and b = 10 mm/h.
Design a septic tank for a small restaurant with 10 employees and averaging 220 customers per day and assuming 75% toilet usage for the customers. The estimated sewage flow rate for this restaurant is 7 gallons/person/day. The septic tank capacity is computed as 1.5 of the estimated flow rates. Determine the required dimensions of the digestive chamber and the leaching chamber. Assume 1.8 m liquid depth.
A community is installing a new well in a regionally confined aquifer with a trans- missivity of 2675 ft2/day and a storativity of 0.0002. The planned pumping rate is 750 gallons per minute. There are several nearby wells tapping the same aquifer, and the hydrogeologist in charge needs to know if the new well will cause significant interference with these wells. Compute the theoretical drawdown caused by the new well after 30 days of continuous pumping at the following distances: 50, 150, 250, 500, 1000, 3000, 6000, and 10,000 feet.
The influent wastewater flow at TMWRF is 30 MGD (million gallons per day). The facility conducts disinfection of the treated water prior to discharge to Truckee River. For disinfection process, the reclamation facility utilizes hypochlorous acid (HOCl) at a dose of 10 mg Cl2/L. Calculate the chlorine present in the effluent (in lb Cl2/day).
Estimate the head loss for a bar screen set at a 30° incline from thevertical. The wastewater fow rate is 90,000 m3/d. The bars are 20mm in diameter, with 25 mm clear spacing in between bars.

Specify a suitable size of new, clean Schedule 40 steel pipe that would carry 300 gal/min of water over a length of 1200 ft with no more than 10 ft of head loss. For the selected pipe, compute the actual expected head loss.
A smooth concrete pipe with a 1.5 ft diameter carries carbon tetrachloride at 20 C from a tank to a facility 1 mile away, where it discharges into the air. The pipe begins in the tank 3 feet below the surface and descends on a 1:100 (vertical: horizontal) slope. Determine the flow rate, assuming minor losses are negligible.
