Assume that the water temperature is 10°C and the depth of the settling tank is 3.0 m (9.80 ft). Calculate the theoretical settl
ing velocity (cm/s), tank loading (m3/m2/d) and detention time (h) required for the complete removal of the following particles in a settling tank. Assume discrete particle settling A.Sand particles with a relative density of 2.65 and dia. of 0.001 cm to be removed in a presettling tank B.Alum floc with a relative density of 1.002 and dia.of 1.0 mm to be removed in a settling tank after coagulation. C.What will be the corresponding design loading rate and detention time for the above cases if the efficiency of the settling basins is 50%, assuming the removal is linearly related to efficiency?

Answer:
porosity = 0.07 or 7%
dry bulk density = 3.25g/cm3]
water content =
Explanation:
bulk density = dry Mass / volume of sample
dry mass = 0.490kg = 490g
volume = πr2h = 3.142 * 2 *2 *12 = 150.8cm3
density = 490/150.8 = 3.25g/cm3
porosity = =
= 0.07 or 7%
water content = = 7%
