Answer:

overflow rate 20.53 m^3/d/m^2

Detention time 2.34 hr

weir loading  114.06 m^3/d/m

Explanation:

calculation for single clarifier

sewag\  flow Q = \frac{12900}{2} = 6450 m^2/d

surface\  area =\frac{pi}{4}\times diameter ^2 = \frac{pi}{4}\times 20^2

surface area = 314.16 m^2

volume of tankV  = A\times side\ water\ depth

                             =314.16\times 2 = 628.32m^3

Length\ of\  weir = \pi \times diameter of weir

                       = \pi \times 18 = 56.549 m

overflow rate =v_o = \frac{flow}{surface\ area} = \frac{6450}{314.16} = 20.53 m^3/d/m^2

Detention timet_d = \frac{volume}{flow} = \frac{628.32}{6450} \times 24 = 2.34 hr

weir loading= \frac{flow}{weir\ length} = \frac{6450}{56.549} = 114.06 m^3/d/m

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

  technician A is correct

Explanation:

Technician B has circuit topologies confused. In a series circuit, there is only one path for electrical current to take. In a parallel circuit, the current will divide between paths in proportion to the inverse of their resistance. The least resistance path will have the most current.

Technician A is mostly correct.
