A mechanical bar screen is to be used in an approach channel with a maximum approach velocity of 1 m/s in a channel with a width of 1.1m. The bars are 15mm thick, and the opening are 25mm wide. Draw a figure and determine the velocity between bars and the head loss when the screen is 40% clogged screens. Head loss coefficient for a clean and clogged bar screens - 0.65 and 0.83 respectively.

Design a flocculation basin for water at 10°C flowing at Q = 49,200 m3/day for a typical processtrain in a drinking water treatment plant. The basin shall be a cross-flow, horizontal-shaft, paddlewheel type with an average velocity gradient of G = 26.7 sec−1, a detention time τ = 45 minutes,and a Gτ value of 50,000 to 100,000. Tapered flocculation shall be used in three compartments ofequal depth in series. Compartments shall be separated by slotted, redwood baffle fences andhave a level basin floor. G-values shall be 50, 20, and 10 sec−1 as the water passes through eachcompartment sequentially. The flocculation basin shall have a width of 27.43 m matching theadjacent sedimentation basin width. Paddle wheels shall have blades with a 150-mm width and alength of 3.05 m. Outer blades should clear the floor by 305 mm and be 305 mm below the watersurface. Six blades shall be used per paddle wheel with a clear spacing of 305 mm between theblades. There shall be a clear spacing of 760 to 915…
A 75 mm horizontal pipe of circular cross section conveying water under a pressure of 0.75bars has its diameter reduced from 75 mm to 2 mm by means of a short transition 30 mm in length. The pipe empties into the atmosphere. The discharge is 0.14m3.s-1, what is the percentage change in mean velocities? The pipe is anchored to a pillar with the anchoring having a factor of safety of 1.5. What force must the anchor withstand to achieve the above?

A vertical bar screen is constructed of 20-mm diameter bars that have a clear spacing of 25 mm. Determine the headloss and velocity through a clean screen when the channel approach velocity is 1.0 m/s. For the previous, we assume that the bar screen is at 90o angle from the horizontal. If the screen is inclined at a 50, 55, and 60° angle from the horizontal, how will the headloss and velocity through the clean screen be impacted? Hint: using a spreadsheet will allow you to quickly calculate the headloss and velocity at different angles.
