The peak and average flowrates for a velocity controlled grit chamber are 1.321 and 0.44 m3/s, respectively. Detention time is 1 min. and maximum velocity through the channel is 0.34 m/s. If channel width is 1.83 m, calculate the water depth in the channel, and design proportional weir the procedure given in bar rack design. The weir crest is 15 cm above the channel floor.

A mechanically cleaned bar rack screen is installed ahead of a velocity controlled grit chamber. The bars are 10 mm thick, and the openings are 20 mm wide. The flow through the screen is 0.75 m3/s, and the depth of flow is 1.45 m in the channel upstream of the bar rack. 1. Calculate the flow velocity through racks (m/s). 2. Calculate the water depth in the channel downstream of the bar rack (m).

How can I calculate the water level in a grit chamber at average flow and at peak hourly flow. The effluent from the tank flows over a fiberglass, sharp-crested weir that is set at elevation 136.00 ft above sea level (ASL). The average daily flow rate is 2.6 MGD. Assume that all flow must pass through one grit chamber. The dimensions of the grit chamber are 9 ft wide, 30 ft long, and 10.5 ft deep (water depth). The weir extends across the full width of the chamber.Elevation of water in grit chamber at average daily flow = ______ ASL
